For Lent 2 – Think ahead for next week
Take Him Away! (John 19:14-18) In this text, we see the contrast between man’s earthly mind-set and God’s loving, eternal perspective. Ultimately, the crowd was earthbound; they were pinning all their hopes for greatness upon worldly powers and politics. But John notes the arrival of the Passover, that OT festival which foreshadowed Christ’s redeeming work most clearly.
From the Board of Stewardship
During this penitential season of Lent, we kneel at the cross, pondering the perfection of our Savior and the sin of our souls which led Him to that place (1 Peter 1:18-20). We ask for forgiveness, and we ask that we might be strengthened through His Word and Sacrament to rise as new creatures, eager to do His will, eager to thank Him with grateful hearts, and eager to speak the message of His love and sacrifice for all. Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. You are the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty. We pray that You will strengthen us to follow Your ways. Help us to boldly proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to those around us. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen

We will hear of the outstanding, unusual new opportunity which has been opened for us in Hanoi, Vietnam to teach among the Hmong peoples. This is almost unheard of in foreign communist countries. And, we are invited to train the leaders of a Christian group of over 100,000 members who may soon join us in the world fellowship groups of churches. Between services Pastor Schlomer will explain in more detail and with PowerPoint pictures how this new door for mission work has come open.
