.
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has
passed away; see, everything has become new! (2 Cor 5:17)
This may sound rather odd, but the truth is, I’ve never been a really big fan of spring. As a season,
spring would appear to have much to commend it: warmer weather, more sunshine, longer days,
grays and browns becoming green, etc. However, there’s a flip side to all of that: incessant wind,
roller-coaster weather that tempts you with summer only to throw you back into winter the next day.
And then there’s the aroma wafting up from the yard of thawing dog crud (a testament to my own lack
of fastidiousness when it comes to cleaning up after the hound. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again:
if not for my wife and her regular attempts at kennel cleaning, I’d be getting letters from the EPA).
Turkey season’s not quite here, the deer and the pheasants are safe for at least six months, and I still
have the Christmas lights to get off the house. Spring can indeed be a cruel season.
I myself am a product of spring. Hence, every Springtime I’m reminded of the fact that I’m another
year older if not necessarily any wiser. It’s interesting how what used to be, in childhood, an occasion
for excitement and celebration becomes in adulthood pretty much just another day on the calendar, a
day to avoid looking in a mirror for fear of what might stare back at you! I suppose we often dread our
birthdays because they stand there as an unrelenting reminder of our mortality, of how our youth so
quickly passes, bringing us one more year closer to our own “passing away.”
Boy, could I be more depressing?
But there is an antidote to this melancholy. Each year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring equinox, we Christians become new again. We fill this church and we proclaim the
very strange mystery of love’s victory over death. We sit under an empty cross and sing hymns of
resurrection, Jesus’ resurrection and our own! And we confess that this new life is not simply waiting
for us after we’ve exhausted this one. If indeed we are who we say we are (who God says we are)...
if we belong to Jesus, then we are new today. We are no longer the same. We are more than aging
bodies and thinning hair and expanding waistlines! What we were has already passed away! It’s
dead. So why should we be afraid of life’s changes any more? We are free to live unafraid!
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "See, the home of God is among mortals. He
will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them;
{4} he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and
pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away." And the one who was seated on
the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." Rev. 21:3-5
God is busy making all things new. Springtime is certainly a testament to that. Easter is the proof of
it! Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!

Council Minutes
Trea$urer’s Report
By Wendy Soulek
As of March 23, 2015
March 10, 2015 6:30pm
Submitted by Pam Englund, Council Secretary
The March meeting of Our Savior’s Council was
held in the church conference room on Tuesday,
March 10. All twelve members of Council along
with Pastor Stephan and Laura Campbell were in
attendance. A few members shared news from the
past month which was then followed by opening
devotions led by Pastor Stephan who shared
scriptures from John.
The agenda for the evening’s meeting was approved
as were the minutes from the February Council
meeting. Treasurer, Wendy Soulek, reviewed the
finance report which showed we are about $2000
ahead of where we were this time last year with
offerings about $1350 over budget. She then
recommended, on behalf of the Finance Committee,
that some of our budgeted Mission Support
obligations be paid before the end of the year. The
group voted to approve paying our Bear Butte
Contribution in full as a lump sum payment and
Mission Partners’ commitments be paid out
monthly.
Pastor Stephan and Laura both gave brief reports on
their activities over the past month and upcoming
events in the church. Both commented on how well
the Wednesday evening meal and worship are
going. Laura invited Council to attend the New
Members dinner Thursday, April 23. New members
will be welcomed at both worship services Sunday,
April 26. Also on that Sunday, members of Our
Savior’s will participate in the Adopt-a-Highway
clean up program, led by Holly and Jim Van’t Land.
The Property Committee updated the group on the
water line break which happened earlier in the
month. They also reported a crack in one of the
stained glass panels in the sanctuary. Worship and
Arts Committee used money from Memorial Funds
to purchase new communion chalices. The
Nominating Committee has received responses
from some of their candidates to fill Council
vacancies. These candidates will be presented to the
congregation at the annual meeting of the
congregation in April.
Wendy Soulek led the group in closing devotions.
The March meeting then closed with the Lord’s
Prayer. Council will meet again Tuesday, April 14.

Friendship Ministers are members of our church
who listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional
and spiritual support to people in our congregation
and community who are facing a transition, going
through stressful times, or experiencing loneliness.
To learn how you can receive care, call Dianne
Miller 642-5212. The care you will receive is
confidential and free.
“Good morning!
How are things with you today?”
Do you live alone? Would it ease your mind to
have someone call you once a day—just to
check in and see that you are ok? Or perhaps
you are interested in being a caller that checks
once a day with someone who lives alone? A
few of our Friendship Ministers are organizing a
process for members to check on members.
And a few people are trying it out already! Call
the church office (642-3715) if you are
interested in receiving calls or being a caller!

Women’s Retreat at Outlaw Ranch:
April 17-19, 2015
“Rubber Band Emotions” Face it ladies - God, in His
infinite wisdom, created us with a whole slew of
emotions that are often tangled together like a wad of
rubber bands. We will get together and try to untangle
these emotions, name them and claim them as part of
who we are and then turn them over to God and God's
unending grace. With help from Patsy Clairmont and her
book “I Second That Emotion,” we will spend the
weekend laughing, reflecting, rejoicing, and recognizing
that we are in this business of a turbulent emotional life
together.
Our session leader for the retreat is Pastor Deb Grismer
from Hot Springs, South Dakota. Pastor Deb, Brownie
(the dog) and her rubber band wad of emotions moved
to Hot Springs last fall to join her husband and begin a
new adventure in her life as an unemployed, empty
nester. She is currently working as a chaplain at the
South Dakota Veteran's Home and is filling the rest of
her time with whatever other opportunities God throws
her way. Register online at www.losd.org.
