For Lent 3 – Think ahead for next week – Watch & Pray  (Matthew 26:35-41)

Lent is a time to be reminded of the discipline of Christian life, the vigilance with which we need to live in the world. Vigilance requires perception of what’s going on around us.  Vigilance requires prayer, especially the petition “Lead us not into temptation.” We come to worship to learn from him how to remain alert even when darkness descends upon us.

Divine Call Update

On Sunday, March 10, voters extended a Call to Mrs. Heidi Fischer to teach first and second grade and music. Mrs. Fischer and her husband are members of Our Savior Lutheran Church and live in Saukville. Keep them in your prayers as she considers this Call to our ministry here at Our Savior Lutheran Church and School.

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
