Inside This Issue

I know, I know, most of you probably don’t much care about Lent. It’s not really a happy time in the church cal-endar, is it? Perhaps you don’t associate a lot of good memo-ries with it. Over the years I have heard more than a few people talk about how Lent is full of dreary music and feeling sad, but it does hold a special place for me. Lent is a time that has been set aside by the church for con-templation and reflection. It’s easy during times like Advent, Christmas and Easter to simply be too busy with all the com-mercial stuff of the seasons to completely forget about God and the things that God has done for us. Many non-denominational churches choose not to observe it be-cause it is too sad. Many of us don’t want to deal with issues like death and suffering – but they are huge, important parts of the human experience. When we seek God only in the good times or the bad, we miss out on all that God is doing for each one of us today. Lent is a time when we have

the opportunity to relate to Jesus in a very intimate way. I love the way we come to-gether in Lent to worship, not only on Sunday mornings, but in the evening on Wednes-days. There is something so warm and personal about worshiping at night. There is a glow from the stain glass win-dows that we might never see during the day. This year on Wednesday evenings we will be singing the Holden Evening Prayer.

Also new this year, I will be leading a book study on the book, What’s the Least I Can Believe and Still Be a Christian? A Guide to What Matters Most. The book is written by a United Methodist pastor, Martin Thielen. It’s an interesting topic that goes to the heart of a lot of what is happening to-day in an age in which so many people are so polarized over so many issues. It seems like a good time to focus in on what it is that really matters to us as Christians. The study will coincide with soup supper on Wednesday nights beginning on March 16.

St. Olaf Women of the ELCA Meet St. Olaf WELCA met on Febru-ary 3. Pastor Jeff presented the Bible study on race and culture. It was very interesting and had some good discussions.

Jamie is to be com-mended on his excellent effort and be informed of all the good comments on the event. Heartland Birthday Paris is scheduled for March 8th, which is sponsored by us.

From the Pastor (Continued from page 1)

agree or disagree with this au-thor and what he has to say. It will also be an opportunity to think out-loud about the ac-tions of many other churches (both local and nationally) and some of the key figures in Christianity today.

There will be a sign up sheet in the Centennial Room or feel free to call or email Darci

about ordering the book (stolaf@gondtc.com). If you pre-order your book the price is $9. After the 16th, the book will be $15. I am so looking forward to wor-shiping and studying with you this Lent! Pastor Jeff

St. Olaf’s Relay for Life Team Update WOW ST OLAF!! Thank you for the attendance and support at our Rootbeer Float Rally. We earned enough to pay our registration fee and still have $117.00 to go toward our fundraising goal. Re-member, you can still join the team or help with a fundraiser or lend us your creative ideas. Our team is still in search of a name and theme. Team members include: Rhonda Allery, Lisa Bach-meier, Connie Jorgenson and Michelle Fritz. Assistance is needed with the following: Survivors - Can someone help us with gathering a list of survivors from St. Olaf? This event is all about the survi-vors and we want them to join us in the survivor lap. Luminaries - this is a beautiful tribute to those fighting, survi-vors or who have suc-cumbed to cancer. The cost is $5.00 a luminary. If we could find someone to coor-dinate volunteers who are willing to sell them between services, it would be a huge help. We must also find a place to display all the lumi-naries up to the event. Ash Wednesday, March 9 -

Soup and Sandwich Fellow-ship proceeds will go to the Relay for Life. We need do-nations of all fixings for sand-wiches and volunteers to help set up, serve and clean up. Poor Man’s Lobster - Torsk for Lunch fundraiser is being planned. We will need help sellling tickets and other vol-unteers to help with the event. Watch the bulletins and Spire for the date. Next Relay meeting is set for Sunday, March 6th at 10:00 a.m. in the fellowship area at St. Olaf. All are welcome.

The St. Olaf annual meeting occurred on January 30th with a potluck dinner pre-ceding the meeting. Both were well attended. The meet-ing was exceptionally quick. In some ways, I still can’t believe how quick! In the past three months I have begun a Spiritual Direction led by Pastor Helen

Beth Kuhens (Interim pastor at Fordville Lutheran Church). It has been well worth the time and effort. I will be continuing this for the next year. Bible do-nations continue to come into the office. I have had a num-ber of people ask if we might consider purchasing the Mes-sage modern English translation instead of the NRSV. I will be looking into finding a possible source for that and checking prices. This month I have spent a lot of my time visiting those in the hospital and their homes. I will be continuing that empha-ses this coming month. I will be gone from Friday February 11 – through February 13th attend-ing the Synod’s, first call theo-logical retreat.
