MARCH 2015
Lenten Evening Prayer & Holy Week Schedule
First Communion
Join us on Wednesday evenings for a brief
Evening Prayer Service. Lent is a time when the
Church is called to repent. Our focus for this
season is “The Tree of Life.”
Our faith is more than just doctrines, comforting thoughts,
and nice words. It is an embodied faith. God comes to us
in real and physical ways, even in the flesh. We can see,
hear, feel, touch, and even taste God’s love.
Five members of Zion will offer reflections on
various themes of change through their faith
experience.
God is present in all of creation, but God also chooses
specific physical ways to make His love and forgiveness
known to us beyond a doubt. We call these special ways
Sacraments. Christ gives himself for us and invites us to
become one with him. It is a constant renewal of the
relationship forged in baptism (our other sacrament) that
unites us with Christ and with God’s people that feeds us
for life with God and on behalf of God.

Watch for more information about Holy Week and Zion’s
celebration of the Easter Season. As we move through this
time of renewed discipline, we encounter the truth that
God’s promise is one of resurrection and new life. God’s
desire is for each and every one of us to be strengthened to
life fully in God’s grace.
From our
Senior Pastor
“If any want to become my followers, let them deny
themselves and take up their cross and follow me”
~~Jesus (Mark 8:34)
Yours in Christ,
Pastor David Frerichs
March is kind of a funny month this year. Many years
we don’t have a month that is filled with Sundays in
Lent. But this year it happens. The church starts March
with the Second Sunday in Lent and concludes the month
with Palm Sunday. Many in Zion are taking on spiritual
disciplines of Bible reading through either the devotional
booklets written by Zion members or by participating in
the Bible reading challenge through the Sunday School
ministry.
Why Church?
At the February Congregation Council meeting each
member of the council was asked to respond to three
questions about the purpose of the church, worship
attendance, and the value of participation in Zion’s
mission. Over the next several months, the Messenger
will feature one of the responses.
In a recent blog post Pastor Clint Schnekloth of
Fayetteville, Arkansas, describes ways that Lutherans
read the Bible. The final way he described is “not often
enough.” Devotional reading of the Bible can help orient
each day with an eye toward seeing and hearing what
God is up to in our midst. If picking up the book doesn’t
work so well with you, there are ways to get scripture
emailed to you each day. The ELCA has one such
service. Luther Seminary has another.
The purpose of Zion is to share our faith, help people feel
welcome, reach out to help those who need
encouragement. Zion is to be an example to our
community. Attending worship is a way for me to keep
working on my faith, so that one day I can have the same
strong faith as my parents—being at peace with
everything around them. I want to have the same
influence on others as my parents have on me. As I look
around our congregation, I am able to see that same
strength in so many…both young and old. The most
valuable part of participating in Zion’s ministry is my
desire to make a difference through music ministry and
Zion’s children’s programs.
For all you who are taking up the discipline, or renewing
your discipline, well done. For those still struggling with
bringing the Bible into regular conversation with your
life, please know that your pastors understand. There is
much that competes for time and attention.
Looking beyond Lent, and into the Easter season, mark
your calendars. AGAPE will be joining Zion for a
Saturday evening concert and Sunday worship the
weekend of April 25-26. Youth who have been to ELCA
Youth Gatherings will recognize Agape from the main
stage. In fact the first time I heard Rachel Kurtz sing, she
was with Agape. Agape’s ministry focuses on reaching
out to youth and yet, his music, dance and message is
appealing to all. He loves intergenerational events and
wants everyone in Zion to come join the festivities. The
concert is free and open to the public so invite your
friends. There will be a free will offering to support the
ELCA Malaria Campaign and Zion’s youth attending the
Detroit Youth Gathering this summer.
~~Hannah Cleveland
Zion’s council members reflected on the purpose of the
church, worship attendance and the value of participation
at the February meeting. Over the coming months, check
out some of what they are thinking. We will publish on
member’s statement each month.
2
understand what it means to be brave, loving, hopeful,
fearful, adventurous, and countless other things.
These stories also teach us what God is like, and how we
can expect God to act in our lives. This is why we’re
challenging the kids of the congregation to read the Bible
60 minutes a week throughout Lent. It’s why the
devotional booklets for adults are based on scripture. It’s
also why we read four pieces of scripture in worship each
week. These stories remind us that some really famous and
faithful people made mistakes and had bad things happen,
too. Yet God still loved them. Not only that, but God
redeemed them and gave them second chances.
The Power of Story
We like stories. Consider how many movies, TV shows,
books, or Facebook posts you take in during any given
week. Or consider the amount of money spent on cable
and satellite connections, movie tickets, and other media.
We like hearing about what happens to others. We’re
obsessed with stories.
We’re also sharing our own stories through the devotional
booklets and the members speaking during Wednesday
evening prayer because these stories help us remember that
those we think have it all together and are pillars of faith
aren’t perfect either. Tragedy, doubt, and fear have been
part of their lives, too. But they also testify to the fact that
God brought them through, and will do the same for us.
We like stories because they have power. They teach us
about ourselves and help us interpret our world. No one
wants to have a conversation about the corruption that
can come with great power, but we love reading what
happens when someone else wrestles with it. We enjoy
unrealistic comedies because they help us laugh about the
absolutely ridiculous things that happen in our own lives
that would otherwise stress us out. We like watching
movies where the good guys always win because
comforts us to think that if we ever suffer injustice that
we will succeed in the end, too.
At the end of many stories, it’s revealed how a character
we assumed to be minor had been driving the plot,
protecting and guiding the other characters. We can look
back and see all the signs were there, but we missed them
the first time around. The blessing of hearing others’
stories is we learn to identify the character of God working
and caring for them, even when we can’t see God doing
that in our own lives.
While growing up, I loved the movie “The Land Before
Time.” As a 6-year-old, I wouldn’t have been able to tell
you why I liked it. However, I understand now that a
bunch of misfit friends banding together on an epic and
exciting adventure in the face of loss and loneliness spoke
to me on some level. Even though I’ve never been a
dinosaur trying to survive in a dangerous world, I could
relate. I also learned that slow and steady wins the race
from the tortoise and the hare, though it never occurred to
me how unrealistic it would be for real animals to race.
The story at the center of Lent is that no matter what
happens along our journey, our stories end like those of our
ancestors . . . with God. Not even the seeming finality of
death gets to be the last chapter. It always ends with the
new life of Easter.
This Lent, may you be blessed by the stories of others,
whether you hear them in the Bible, a devotional booklet,
in worship, or around the dinner table. May you see God
working in your own story. May you know that whatever
twists in the plot of your own life, the ending is sure. And
may you share that story with others.
As a child, I understood that God noticed kids because
Jesus noticed the short Zaccheus. It didn’t matter that he
wasn’t a kid, or even a very nice person. It doesn’t really
matter the exact process and timing God used to create
the world. Instead, the creation story reminds me that
God didn’t just cobble things together and abandon it.
God had a grand plan for the people not yet born, and it
was good.
Facts do not give stories power. They have power
because they speak to our own lives, whether they are
about a Facebook friend who similarly wrestles with a
child 800 miles away or a dinosaur that never existed.
Stories help enable us to safely experience what we have
yet to experience, and to get perspective on things of
which we’re in the middle. They teach us about how the
world works so that when we’re in a similar situation, we
already have ideas of how to act. They help us

The next discussion was in regards to our plan for inactive
member follow-up. It was decided that a letter will be sent

tech expenses) to be funded through the Mitzi Fox
bequest. Nikki Heidemann seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
Pastor Frerichs then made a motion to adjust the Senior
Pastor Furnishing allowance from $1,500/year to $4,940/
year, beginning with the March 1 paycheck, reducing the

Getting behind on Devotions or the
Youth Bible Challenge?
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with trying to catch
up when you get behind. Don’t get discouraged
and give up. Whether you’re an adult reading our
congregation’s Lenten devotional booklet or kids
trying to complete the Bible reading challenge, just
pick up with today’s date if you get behind. You
can always go back later to read what you missed.
Associate Pastor Report: Pastor Ker ns r epor t was
reviewed by the council. Pastor Kern then showed his
appreciation to the council for their contributions to the
Lenten Devotional books. He also reminded the council of
his upcoming Continuing Education classes.
Standing Committees Reports: the council discussed
the insurance settlement regarding the damaged siding on
the parsonage. After extended discussion and questions it
was referred back to Jeremy Young to retrieve additional
information. The potential of bringing mass text
messaging to Zion Lutheran Church for communication of
important matters was also discussed. No final decision
was made on this matter.
Task Forces: none to r epor t.
Unfinished Business: Pastor Fr er ichs asked the council
to read through the guidelines of setting “S.M.A.R.T”
goals. He then challenged the group with the task of
writing one “S.M.A.R.T” goal for the church, and to email
those goals to Peggy.
