As we approach Palm Sunday, Holy Week and the celebration of Easter, I am thankful for the daily meditations from Father Richard Rohr at the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Last week, Richard Rohr shared a meditation entitled “Love, Not Atonement” in which he challenged the “popular” or “common” reading of the Bible that Jesus “’died for our sins’ – either to pay a debt to the devil (common in the first millennium) or to pay a debt to God the Father … (which) has been called ‘the most unfortunately successful piece of theology ever written.’” I agree with Rohr’s conclusion that the events of Holy Week and indeed all of the ministry of Jesus has an entirely different focus than what the institutional church has taught, preached and imposed for two thousand years. In his concluding paragraphs of his meditation, Richard Rohr writes: “Jesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity (it did not need changing)! Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God. God in Jesus moved people beyond the counting, weighing, and punishing model, that the ego prefers, to the utterly new world that Jesus offered, where God’s abundance has made any economy of merit, sacrifice, reparation, or atonement both unhelpful and unnecessary.” The message of the ministry of Jesus that culminates and is fulfilled in the events of Holy Week is a message of grace. The altar on which sacrifices are presented is no longer the center of our worship. Instead, we have a Table around which the entire community is welcomed and fed. This changes everything! This changes where we start on our faith journey and it changes the direction we choose to take, thus changing the destination, too. I pray that this brief article sparks your interest and re-focuses your understanding of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. May we all be liberated by the knowledge that we do not have to live in the fear that we are not good enough for God to like us. May we all be liberated to embrace God’s love freely and without reservation. That is what Jesus lived for. That is what Jesus died to proclaim Rohr’s mediation ends with these words: “We all need to News from Trustees know that God does not love us because we are good; God loves us because God is good. Nothing humans can do will ever decrease or increase God’s eternal eagerness to love.” All of this is revealed in Isaiah 41 & 43 where the prophet envisions what God is saying to us when life is it’s most difficult. Here are some selected verses: “You are my servant … my first choice … you are my servant, serving on my side. I’ve picked you. I haven’t dropped you. Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you, I’ll hold you steady, and keep a firm grip on you. Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end – Because I am God, your personal God, the Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you … that’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. So don’t be afraid: I’m with you.” (from The Message translation) Stephen A Stewardship Reflection…. We live in a world of obsession with material possessions. Far too many of us find ourselves in debt because we’ve been swept up in the frenzy of accumulation. In our consumerist society, it is difficult to distinguish between our needs and our wants and desires. We often believe that the more money have, the happier we will be. There’s an interesting paradox when we finally recognize that nothing we have really belongs to us. Even though we have many things, none of them actually belongs to us. As we come to understand that everything belongs to God, our perspective changes…we become more content. Respectfully, Jason Loeffler Vice-Chair Stewardship Board The church inventory is almost complete. A big shout out to all who have helped so much on this. These people are: Jennifer Bakke, Josie Mack, Juanita Edington, Jeannine Mallach, Rob Harms, Sue McNaughton, Jan Smith, Linda Thorson, Doug Budewitz, Wayne Boyd, Saedra Fremont, Fran Milburn, Lee Buescher, Melissa Mattke, Vivian Howard, Amy Gillingham, Joyce Uglow, Tom and Denyce Derleth, Laurel Welbourne-Bentz, Sue Harms, Chuck and Barb Weiss and Rob Rowedder. It’s really amazing to look at the inventory sheets and realize how many items we actually have in our building. I know so many of these things, large and small, have been donated over the years by our members. After typing all these things in the computer, I also suspect we have more than a few pack rats in our group! A special thank you to the “Executive Producer” of our video inventory- Jesse Fremont. As you can see, we have done both a computerized inventory and a video one. Once it is all completed, I will be contacting our insurance company to be sure our full replacement coverage reflects the value of our items. A few other thank you’s are needed too- as usual we thank our cleaning crew; we thank Rob Harms and the Weiss’s for painting Pastor Stephen’s office; Reed Larson and Tom Derleth for repairing the mailbox after the snowplow ( the city’s probably) ran over it and Reed again for getting all the landscape stones back in place- another snowplow disaster. Another big thank you goes to Rob Rowedder. Rod has spent 3 months making many phone calls and doing a lot of research. He has negotiated and Trustees have approved a new agreement with AT&T to bundle our phone service and internet service (we formerly had a different internet provider) and this will result in a savings to the church of approximately $2800 per year. Nothing will change with our services except the amount of money we spend on them. This is a major savings. Good job Rob! The Board of Trustees thank all the members of this congregation for everything they do that keeps us looking as good as we feel about ourselves and that advances us in our mission.

We discussed the Last Supper and Jesus washing the disciples’ feet. We made crispy, “dirty” feet in our cooking rotation. Pie crust with cinnamon sprinkled on with” grape” toes sure are yummy! Our group Sunday was spent having fellowship with each other over treats and making cards/handprint crosses of our homebound members. In Science we did several “experiments” to see if we are left-footed or right-footed. You can try this one at home….put a string on the floor and leap over it. Does your right foot or left foot go first? In April we prepare for our combined Youth Sunday/Sunday School Recognition. This exciting service is April 19th. We are working with the youth group to review some of the things we learned in Sunday School, sing some of our songs (get ready to dance along), and share our thoughts on different Bible stories. If you would like your child to be involved in this service, please make every effort to have them here on Sundays in April. We will be putting it all together and want to include all of the kiddos.

Jennie Ortega Director 2015 IS THE YEAR OF THE COLEUS The National Garden Bureau each year chooses an annual plant to honor and this year they have declared 2015 to be the “Year of the Coleus”. The Coleus was chosen because of its dependability and durability in many garden situations across the country. I think most of us remember our Mothers or Grandmothers growing Coleus in a glass of water in the kitchen windowsill. It’s just so easy to do that with the original types of Coleus- just cut off a piece and stick it in water and it soon has roots and will happily live there to be a bright spot all through the dreary winter. The colors are so cheery and it was a cheap way to have a little houseplant, especially during the depression years. Coleus is thought to be native to Southeast Asia and it was brought to Europe in the mid nineteenth century by a Dutch botanist named Karl Blume. It is a member of the mint family with its square stems and opposite leaves. Any time you see any plant with square stems it will be a member of the mint family. They all have them and no other flower family does. Coleus is actually perennials in their native area, for us, it’s grown as an annual. After it was brought to this country, “coleus fever” ran rampant until the early to mid 19th century. Then in the 1980’s breeders began to develop new colors and uniformity and popularity began to rise again. As it became popular again, breeders being breeders also began developing the sun tolerant ones and more recently trailing varieties. These plants are strictly grown for their foliage, the blooms are nothing much and in fact to keep your plant at its best and healthiest the blooms should be pinched out as soon as they form. This will allow your plant to put its energy into bigger and more colorful leaves and help it branch out with new growth. The blooms very easily pinch off with just your thumbnail- no need for any tools to do this. Coleus colors include shades of green, red, pink, yellow, orange, maroon, cream and white. The leaves can be a variety of shapes. OK- now the difference between the old fashioned Coleus and the new ones. First off is the price, you can get the old fashioned ones in a 4 or 6 pack for about $3. The old ones need full all day shade. You might get by with some dappled shade in the morning but they won’t tolerate any afternoon sun at all. You’ll fry them. These are also the ones that are easy to start as a cutting in a glass of water. These plants will not get much beyond 8-10inches tall and they will only branch a small amount in proportion to their height. Now the new “sun tolerant” Coleus. These will be sold in at least a 4 inch pot and that size will cost you close to $5 each. You’ll even see larger ones and of course the price will also be larger. Most important to remember here is that they are sun tolerant. Tolerant does not mean they love it and want it all day. It means they will put up with some sun. Ideally that would be early-mid morning sun and then dappled shade or better yet full shade all afternoon. This why you won’t be seeing these in our church gardens, shade is a non-existent commodity for us unless we want them where no one will see them. That said, since I like to push the limits in gardening, I’m thinking of trying them under the overhang in front just to see how they do. If they begin to look too bad, they may have to be sent to a foster home! If you want to put them where there is a little more sun that you think is good, it is better to stick with one that has darker colored leaves. To me that seems odd but that’s what the experts say; these will tolerate sun better than the lighter colors. It’s especially important with these varieties to keep the blooms pinched off; they will really branch out and get big if you do this. Many of them will reach 24-30 inches in width and height. The plant labels will tell you the size you can expect at maturity- providing you care for them properly. These plants like to be kept underfed, give them a little half strength fertilizer about every 3-4 weeks. Don’t allow them to completely dry out to the point of wilting. Be sure you have good drainage, too much water and they will drown. They are wonderful specimen plants in containers. They also often reach their peak size in the fall when everything else is dwindling. If you start off with one of the more fall colored ones- orange or maroon maybe, they will look great with your fall mums. The newer ones can be propagated from cuttings but they don’t do as well in water as the old varieties. You need to take your cutting and use root hormone and then plant it in soil. This is a good thing to do in fall if you want to overwinter one. You will have to give it bright light (not direct sun) and plenty of humidity over the winter though. This is often hard to do in most homes so think about where you will keep your plant. It’s possible to overwinter the whole plant but you’d better have a sunroom and a humidifier if you are going to have any luck with a big one. So if you haven’t tried this plant, maybe this is the year to do it, or if you have tried them, try something new with one. Have fun. Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade. Rudyard Kipling Youth Director’s Notes……. Here is a look at the line-up for our Youth this April!
