Lighten Our Darkness: Finding Hope in the Crucified God In the midst of candlelight, surrounded by the beautiful liturgy of “Holden Evening Prayer”, we will gather once again this Lenten season for midweek worship. Here we will listen for God’s voice in the midst of the darkness of the night…the voice that brings light, and lessens the chill of winter. Our brief messages those nights will focus on the theme, “Lighten our Darkness: Finding Hope in the Crucified God”. The topics are inspired and assisted by Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, God in Pain. As she says, we all understand human pain to one degree or another. But how can we understand God’s pain? Perhaps we can catch but a glimpse in these days leading to the Cross of Calvary. Come to Midweek worship. Come to hear God’s voice in the words and music. Come to see the light and feel the warmth that grows with the hope of new life. Mar. 10: “Without a Clue” Matthew 20:17-28 Mar. 17: “Someone to Blame” John 19:8-11a Mar. 24: “The Suffering of God” John 19:28-30 Our Lenten Journey leads us to On Palm Sunday, March 28th, at 8 am and 10:30 am, we celebrate Our Lord’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
On Maundy Thursday, April 1st, at 7:30 pm, we commune in memory of the last time Christ ate the Passover Meal with his disciples.
On Good Friday, April 2nd, at 7:30 pm, we hold holy vigil to remember the Crucifixion of Our Lord.
On Easter Sunday, April 4th, at 8 am and 10:30 am, we rejoice as we remember that He is not in the tomb. He is risen! He is risen indeed! An Easter Garden is being planned for our sanctuary. Listed below are the plants that will be used. Memorial envelopes are included with this newsletter, available in the church office, on the table in the narthex or the ushers on Sunday if you care to purchase a plant or plants.

You may contact the church office or Judy Nelson at 257-1788 if you have any questions. Plants may be taken after the 10:30 worship service on Easter Sunday, April 4th.

Whole and Holy Kids: Helping Parents Raise Children of Faith About the ClassHappy, healthy, holy kids: that is the desire of every Christian parent. Deep inside every parent is the hope that their child will be able to navigate life – its achievements and challenges – with confidence and integrity. As children grow intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically parents look on with amazement. It is the spiritual growth of their child that often makes parents feel uncertain. As a community of faith, we promise to help equip parents to teach their children. Whole and Holy Kids will offer developmental information, ideas and resources to aid parents as they help their children grow. Session 4, April 7 Kids and Prayer How do we make prayer and integral part of our family life? ***All classes will run from 6-7 pm at Chisago Lake Lutheran Church in the Green Room. If you are so inclined, please join us for dinner with our confirmation kids at 5:45. Suggested donation for any or all classes is $5 per family. Come to one class or all four. . . it’s up to you!
