Page 2Our Pastor’s VoiceGrace and Forgiveness - for Real!
Remember me, not my faults, the sins of my youth. To show your own goodness, God, re-member me; Release my trapped heart, free me from anguish. See my misery, my pain; take my sins away. Psalm 25: 7, 17-18
For by Grace you all have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4
Christ is alive. Christ has risen from the dead. We have been freed to walk in new life. We are new creations in Christ Jesus. As Karen McClintock writes, “criticism and shame [are] replaced with compassion and grace.” This is the good news of the Easter Season. Yet, I was not surprised a few weeks ago, when I took part in a conversation that invited us to imagine the freedom of God’s grace—the facilitator asked us to imagine what it would feel like to have no shame, no memory of past sins, and utter freedom from all that we thought defined us. The entirety of us gathered couldn’t even imagine what that would feel like—it seemed too pathological not to be weighed down with the burden of sin and the lies of shame that tell us we, not
just our bad decisions, are awful human beings. Your sins are forgiven. You have been given the free gift of grace. You too are walking in newness of life. This is our baptismal inheritance. This promise is ours. Christ is risen! Indeed, this matters to our lives of faith too! I’ve recently been reading about the sacraments as Means of Grace—and came across two reminders of how Easter is often practiced as the season of Baptism in the church, and how it is a reminder of all that God is doing for us through water and Word and Spirit. In her blog, Rozella Haydée White shares how her understanding of self was transformed through a remembering of what baptism truly is: “I believed I was inherently bad. This led to a downward spiral that impacted my view of self, my relationships, and how I showed up in the world…When I think about baptism, I realize that no matter what my depressed or anxious mind tells me that seems like fact, the reality of who God created me to be supersedes whatever shame would have me take on.” She calls shame an enemy of baptism. An enemy, we are reminded, that is defeated by God’s power of new life Easter morning. One other helpful baptismal connection to the Easter season comes from the pen of Walter Bouman, a theologian who influenced many of my teachers. Grace—Easter—the end of the Christian Story, puts an end to our need to refuse to ever be in the wrong. Baptized in Christ’s death and resurrection, are are free to give up our “dreadful need” to prove our own meaning and justify our actions and our lives. Feeling like we need to prove ourselves worthy is another enemy defeated at the site of the empty tomb. As we enter these 50 days of Easter, may the splashes of God’s grace replace criticism and shame with compassion and grace. May the cross engrained on your forehead be a daily reminder of God’s calling each of us into new life, and into new community, and into actual forgiveness! Easter blessings to you, Pastor Matt

Lutheran A Cappella Choir to give spring concert on April 30 at St. Matthew’s The Lutheran A Cappella Choir, under the direction of David Mohr, will be presenting a very special 80th Anniversary Concert, “Sing to the Lord a New Song” at St. Matthew’s on Sunday, April 30th, at 3:00 p.m. The concert will feature various musical settings of the Psalms, including J.S. Bach’s exciting double-choir motet “Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied.” Another special feature of the program will be three selections by composer Paul Bouman, who began singing with the LAC back in 1940. A prolific composer whose speciality has been in music for children’s choirs, the LAC will present his settings of Psalm 27, Psalm 23 and an exciting arrangement of the hymn “If You But Trust in God to Guide You.” And we’re very pleased to have Paul, who is still doing well at the age of 98, at our concert on that Sunday. Tickets which are $15.00 and $12.00 for Seniors and Students, may be purchased from the choir’s web site, www.lutheranacappella.org, from any choir member, or at the door. A reception will be held following the concert.

April 23 & April 30Milwaukee 53206 - A Documentary & Discussion The United States has the most prisoners of any nation in the world both in raw numbers and by percentage of the population. These numbers are further compounded within Milwaukee’s mostly African-American 53206 ZIP code, where 62% of adult men have spent time in prison, making it the most incarcerated ZIP code in the nation. MILWAUKEE 53206 tells the story of those affected by mass incarceration in America’s most incarcerated ZIP code. Through the powerful journeys of Beverly Walker, Dennis Walton and Chad Wilson we witness how incarceration has shaped their lives, their families and their community. These intimate stories reveal how a community fights to move forward even as a majority of its young men end up in prison. The film examines how decades of poverty, unemployment, and a lack of opportunity has contributed to the crisis of mass incarceration in this community and communities across the nation and serves as a witness to the high toll and devastating effects incarceration has on a community. MILWAUKEE 53206 is presented by Transform Films Inc., a documentary production company that tells stories of hope, compassion and the quest for a more just world. We will view the first half of the film on Sunday, April 23rd, followed by a period of discussion. We will view the second half of the film on Sunday, April 30th, followed by a period of discussion. The conversation will be facilitated by Conor Williams.
May 7 - A Farmer’s RoadThis film follows three years in the farming lives of Cooperband and Jarrell, both holders of doctorates in soil science. They gave up the security of academic tenure at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana for the risks and rewards of running a goat farm and creamery on the outskirts of the latter college town. The film underscores their approach to lead by example, employing sustainable and humane practices on their farm and promoting the Slow Food movement.
‘...Does a farmer always plow and never sow?Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting it?Does he not finally plant his seeds for dill, cumin, wheat, barley, and spelt,each in its own section of his land?The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding.He doesn’t thresh all his crops the same way.A heavy sledge is never used on dill, rather, it is beaten with a light stick.A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin, instead, it is beaten softly with a flail.Bread grain is easily crushed, so he doesn’t keep on pounding it.He threshes it under the wheels of a cart, but he doesn’t pulverize it.The Lord Almighty is a wonderful teacher, and He gives the farmer great wisdom.’ Isaiah 28:23-29
Join us on May 7th.

St. Matthew’s Saints Older Adult Ministry
Thanks to all for care and concern shown Many of you are aware of Jane Sandstrom’s illness, hospitalization, surgery and recuperation time at home. We have missed her at church! Jane sends her thanks for the many ways you have reached out to her in support and concern and compassion. She is getting stronger each day and looks foward to seeing us in worship regularly again.
SAINTS plan last gathering of the springand will feature Pastor Margaret Schoewe as guest speaker Mark your calendars now for Wednesday, May 17, when Pastor Margaret Schoewe, who was an assistant pastor at St. Matthew’s for nine years, will return to share stories of her adventures in the past year. She has traveled to several places and has much to share. It will be a special time to gather as it will be Jane Sandstrom’s last Saints event as coordinator. Please plan to come to this event and bid Jane farewell as older adult ministries coordinator.
Sunday May 21: Jane Sandstrom retires from SAINTS Ministry We invite you to be in attendance on Sunday, May 21, when we honor and thank Jane Sandstrom for her years of ministry at St. Matthew’s as the older adult mnistry coordinator. We will host a coffee time reception for Jane and hope that you will be in attendance to celebrate and thank her. We give thanks for many years of activities planned for the Saints ministry, including a trip to Springfield IL and day trips as well as gatherings at church including meals that Jane made herself.
Let Us Pray A very practical way to pray speaks of “praying with our lives.” This process, if practiced on a regular basis, will integrate your prayer life into the ordinary events and decisions of everyday life. You can use this prayer in the evening or at the start of the next day if you want to look back at the previous day. When I engage in this prayer at bedtime I find myself more aware of the presence of God throughout the next day. The “events” of each day become a marker or reminder to check in with God. Blessings in your prayer time. Sue Swing
Life-Centered Prayer1. Gather the DayIdentify the 6-8 major events of your day including prayer, particular conversations, meetings, meals, work and other activities. Make a list. 2. Review the DayReflect upon each occurrence listed, without judging yourself, avoiding feelings or making excuses. This is the actual substance of your daily life. 3. Give Thanks for the DayThank God for each part of your day, for your life, and for God’s presence in the midst of it. 4. Confess your SinAcknowledge your faults in thought, word, and deed toward God, your neighbor, yourself, creation. 5. Seek the Meaning of the EventsReflect on the larger significance of each event in your life, asking yourself such questions as, “What is God saying to me?” “What am I being called to do?” “How is this connected to the rest of my life?” Write down what comes to mind.

Each time there is a new baptism:“We promise to support your parents...” During the rite of baptism on Sunday mornings, the congregation makes a promise to pray for those baptized. To help us to offer prayers in a more intentional way, we list some of those baptized in April at St. Matthew’s for the last few years. May their lives be blessed through your prayers.

Children’s and Family MinistryPage 6
First Communion to be given to Younger Children in 2017:
Current 4th graders: JuneCurrent 3rd graders: JulyCurrent 2nd graders: Fall, 2017Current 1st graders will receive their first communion as 2nd graders, early in 2018.
Welcoming Children to the Lord’s Table A growing number of families in ELCA congregations, including St. Matthew’s, have begun to feel that their children are ready for communion long before they reach 5th grade. In response to these families and based on church teaching, many congregations are either shifting the age of first communion downward, or they allow children to receive whenever parents feel the child is ready.
After many discussions involving pastors and staff, we have come to the conclusion that not allowing children to take communion until a pre-set age does not speak of the grace that is inherent in Christ’s command to “Do this in remembrance of me.” For that reason, we will begin welcoming younger children to the Lord’s Table beginning this spring, starting with fourth graders in June, current third graders in July, and current second graders in the fall. Then, starting next February, we will begin the practice of celebrating and learning about communion in 2nd grade, with a class for the whole family and a special afternoon service. Parents, watch your mail for information on First Communion Retreats and First Communion Services. If a date isn’t convenient for your family, you and your child can plan to attend one of the other grade level retreats and service.

Second Middle School Overnight Mission Event Explores Racism and Privilege Last month, we held our second annual overnight mission event for 6th – 8th graders. The regular components of a middle school overnight were included – snacks, pizza, games, and a late night. But the 26 participants also learned experientially what it might be like to experience racism and exclusion. The event opened with several cooperative games aimed at getting the participants to think about how it feels to be excluded. We followed these games with an extended treasure hunt which pitted two teams against each other, with one team being given a consistent advantage. We concluded with a privilege walk, which illustrated the sense of privilege that occurs as a result of circumstances and context rather than individual achievement and choice. We followed these activities with a debriefing that allowed the kids the chance to reflect and react. On Saturday morning, we split into groups and went to four central city grocery stores to buy groceries for the Cross Lutheran Food Pantry. In addition to the challenge of buying a list of groceries with an exact amount of cash, the groups found themselves in situations where they were in the minority, an uncomfortable situation that many of them have not experienced. We then met at Cross Lutheran Church to deliver the groceries to the food pantry and to hear from Easter, a neighborhood minister at Cross. Easter spoke to the kids about the need in the community, racial stereotyping that he has experienced, and the calling that all of us have to do good in the world. The event ended with a final debriefing at St. Matthew’s that viewed the weekend’s experiences in the context of Milwaukee’s standing as one of the most segregated cities in the US and the worst state in the US for the wellbeing of black children. The introspection, perception, and empathy of the 11-13 year olds who participated was inspiring, and they came away from this event with a broadened perception. We thank the parent and young adult helpers who made this event possible, and we look forward to next year’s overnight service experience for middle school students.

St. Matthew’s Leaders prepare to begin Stephen Ministry in our congregationWhy we need the Stephen Ministry program here
1 Corinthians 12 says it best, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” In other words, each of us is given a gift that is meant to be shared with and for the sake of the community— and, in turn, all of creation. Gifts like administration, hospitality, creativity, teaching and care-giving are all given so that the Body of Christ can function well in the world and can serve others in Christ’s name. What gift has the Holy Spirit given you? I invite you to pray for the growing Stephen Ministry at St. Matthew’s. Pastor Ann Williams
Since Christmas, four members of St. Matthew’s have completed a week-long training course for Stephen Ministry Leaders. We are, even now, beginning the process of establishing Stephen Ministry in this congregation. Stephen Ministry is an approach to care-giving that is high-quality, confidential, and Christ-centered. Stephen Ministry is lay-led— you don’t need to have a degree in counseling or theology to participate. People are often curious as to why a church might need a lay-led, care-giving ministry, “We are already a nice and welcoming place” they might say. Others may assume, or even insist, that visitation be done by paid staff people. Have no fear! Your pastors will continue to visit the members of St. Matthew’s! Practically speaking, however, there are too many people in need— too many members experiencing grief, loss, illness and transition for the pastors alone to accommodate. But the wider truth is that caring for other members of the Body of Christ is simply part of what it means to be in Christian community. Stephen Ministry is an organized way to live out the biblical mandate to “love one another as I have loved you.”

Looking for a little help!Camera operators needed during worship Are you someone who enjoys new technologies? If so, we have a volunteer job for you! St. Matthew’s just installed new video equipment to stream our worship services to the internet. We are looking for people to operate the camera dur-ing worship. It’s really easy! Simply hitting a pre-set number on a control pad zooms and focuses on specific areas of the service. Hit button #1, it zooms and focuses on the pulpit. Hit
#2, the camera zooms and focuses on the altar, etc.. If you are someone who would like to volunteer to help operate the camera during
church services, please let Pastor Chris know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rethinking Spring Break! At our recent partnership meeting, our sisters and brothers at Cross Lutheran Church shared that their meal ministry and food pantry are seeing more consistent guests and continued deep commitment from those they serve. As we talked numbers, one of the leaders said, “We can’t forget Spring Break is coming up. We’ll have to have more on hand then!” Never before in my entire life had I thought of Spring Break—a week without the support of free and reduced school lunch—as a time of food insecurity. I tend to associate Spring Break with travel, fun opportunities to explore the city on stay-cation, and time to relax. Never had I stopped to consider how what to me seemed a natural luxury could be for another a time of scarcity, stress, and worries about providing enough food to eat. As you plan and celebrate Spring Break this year, I invite you to consider an additional gift to support our Hunger Baskets, a portion of which is shared with the Cross Pantry, Global needs, TosaCares, and the Tosa Community Food Pantry, which serves emergency needs. If you care to give, consider online giving or mark Hunger Baskets on any memo lines. Or, the next time you’re grocery shopping, please consider picking up a few items for Cross’s Food Pantry, items that are favorites of your family. Food pantry donations have been down overall; do your part to turn it around! Thanks for re-thinking Spring Break with me for the sake of our partners. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians about differences in eating patterns among early Christians, “Therefore, if food is a cause of their weakness, I will never eat to highlight their weakness, so that I may not cause one of them to stumble.” Blessings on your Spring Break, Pastor MattP.S. Save the date of Aug. 20 for this year’s Cross Picnic!

An informational meeting for those interested in being part of this year’s trip will be held on Sunday, April
30th following the 11:00 service. Details and on overview of the trip will be shared at this meeting. This is a great chance for those who are not able to be part of the regular January visit (teachers?!) to share in this meaningful experience. If you have any questions, please talk with Gretchen Haugse or Pastor Chris.

Kicking Off St. Matt’s Annual Diaper Drive - Diapers are a constant needCan you support this drive through your donations of Sizes 2-6 diapers, cream, wipes and Pull-Ups? Did you know that one in three American families struggles to afford diapers for their children - this is diaper need. Here in Wisconsin we have eight diaper banks, compared to 300 diaper banks nationally. It costs roughly $80 per month to diaper a child, that goes through 6 -10 diapers a day, let alone diaper wipes and diaper cream. Not being able to diaper your baby has a negative impact
on moms and children, even more distressing than not having enough food for their families. Moms
suffering from diaper need also have a more difficult time with stress management, depression, and trauma - which negatively affect a child’s health and development. Babies repeatedly left in soiled diapers may develop diaper rash, staph and urinary tract infections. Also, babies without diapers cannot go to daycares - even publicly funded centers. Thus meaning parents can’t go to work, causing more family stress. Wisconsinites can qualify for up to $653 a month through TANF payments, that cover rent, utilities, heat, electricity, water and diapers. However most people are unable to budget 12% of that income towards diapers alone. That’s how diaper networks and diaper drives can help fill the GAP of diaper need. You can help fill the diaper GAP by donating money or diapers, wipes, and diaper cream to the sixth annual St. Matt’s Mother’s Day Diaper Drive. Please bring donations to the church between Sunday, April 23rd and Mother’s Day, May 14. You can donate diapers in sizes 2 through 6, or pull ups, diaper wipes and diaper creams (with zinc oxide). Thank you from the bottom of Wisconsin babies.
Next Emergency Food Shipment Ready to Send to El Salvador - Your Help Is Needed to Cover Shipping Costs Hunger is a constant concern in communities served by the Salvadoran Lutheran Church. In addition to the day-to-day struggles of poverty, residents of those communities also face natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions that disproportionately affect the poor. The Salvadoran Church is responding with programs designed to improve agriculture and encourage sustainable gardening, but in times of emergencies, extra help is needed. The shipments of emergency food that St. Matthew’s sends twice a year offer support in those times. Each community served by the church receives 20 cartons of the nutritionally fortified rice, with each carton serving 3-4 families. Your help is needed to cover the $8000.00 cost of shipping the next container of food, which will be on its way this spring. Donations can be made to St. Matthew’s and labeled “El Salvador Food Shipment.” Thank you for your support of this meal ministry that is so appreciated by the Salvadoran Lutheran Church!

Page 12Lessons from life on the borderA Reflection from ELCA YAGM participantsBuild a wall. Welcome all. Deport 11 million immigrants living illegally in America. Create a path to citizenship for those who are undocumented.The number of Mexican citizens coming to America has dropped annually for about the last decade, according to the Pew Research Center, but about half of all undocumented immigrants, and more than a quarter of documented immigrants, are from Mexico.Immigration and migration are abstract issues for many U.S. citizens who are unaware of the impact policy decisions have on families in Mexico - something Hannah Smith, Alyssa Kaplan and Josh Stallings have learned in their time in Mexico with the ELCA Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program.Each country has needs, but only Mexico deals as closely - geographically and politically - with the U.S. Living in these communities has taught these three young adults lessons about what’s happening on the border and how things might change in the future.For her year with YAGM, Smith is living in Cuetzalan but serving the nearby community in Ayotzinapan, where she teaches English and works on projects for a library. As rewarding as the experience has been, she said border relations frustrate her.“We need to find a better way to deal with issues surrounding immigration,” she said. “I would challenge people to look beyond their political beliefs and ask themselves why so many people are forced to migrate from their homes. Once you reach the root of this issue, it becomes clear that the blame cannot be placed on our neighbors - that they are not the criminals here.”Smith said it’s important to understand that immigration is a humanitarian issue, not a political one.Kaplan’s time is spent in Tlaxco where she teaches English, tutors in reading and math, works in the school’s garden and assists in the first- and second-grade classrooms. Getting to know her host family and the schoolchildren has given her insight into life on the border.“I live and work among people who have crossed the border countless times,” she said. “While in the U.S. they may be called illegal aliens. To me they are friends and family. Nearly half of the students at the Instituto de Educacion Integral del Magdalena Cervantes (her school) live with a single parents or grandparents, many because one or both of their parents have crossed the border in search of livable wages.“The privilege of my citizenship, the navy-blue booklet that allows me to enter this and countless other countries as I please, and the seemingly arbitrary luck of my birthplace challenge me every day.”
What surprised Kaplan was that despite animosity between the nations, she has been treated like family. “They have nurtured me, cared for me, and invited me into their traditions and culture without reservation or expectation of reciprocation,” she said. “Their kindness, openness and acceptance have shown me what true Christ-centered service looks like.”Stallings works in Apizaco at a shelter that provides food, clothing, medical care and housing for Central American migrants for up to two days. Despite growing up in Texas near the border, Stallings said he didn’t know anything about life on the other side. He said he now knows “[U.S. citizens] can educate ourselves about the reasons that people are immigrating to our nation. We can work to receive these neighbors with more compassion. We can engage in the political process.”Heidi Torgerson has seen the impact of immigration for years as a missionary in Mexico and through a variety of experiences on the border. Now director of global service for ELCA Global Mission, she believes immigration is more than a political issue - it’s a spiritual one.“In John 10:10, Jesus tells us that he came so that all may have life, and have it abundantly,” she said. “I don’t think Jesus was talking only about an abundant spiritual life in this passage. He was talking about life right here on earth, an abundant life where all are able to live with dignity, with assurance of safety, with enough resources to provide for one’s family’s basic needs.”Earlier this year Torgerson joined the YAGM Mexico group in a prayer vigil on the U.S. side of the border to remember the lives of migrants who have died in this country while trying to cross through the desert.“When our foreign and economic policies rob this kind of abundant life from our neighbors in countries south of us, we’re not just talking about political issues,” she said. “We’re talking about theological issues. We’re talking about sin that’s been built into the structures of our government’s policies.“If we believe that Jesus desires abundant life for all, then our call as Christians is to learn about, name, denounce and work to actively dismantle the structural sin that keeps our neighbors from sharing in the abundant life that Jesus promised.”The program in Mexico is one of 11 country programs part of Young Adults in Global Mission.

Church History CornerSymbols of our Faith
EasterEastertide includes the whole period of fifty days starting with Easter Day and concluding on Pentecost. So it commemorates the Resurrection, the Ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit. The Apostles’ Creed says, “On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” Acts gives the impression that the Ascension may have occurred “forty days” after the Resurrection. Traditional places the kingly crown on his head, replacing the crown of thorns, at this time. A crucifix on which Christ is shown clad in Eucharistic vestments represents the Reigning Christ or Christ the King.
Easter LilyBeing a spring flower the Easter lily is a common symbol of the Resurrection. Another reason for this symbolism is the sprouting of a beautiful flower from a seemingly dead bulb which is buried in the ground.
ButterflyBecause the caterpillar goes into a cocoon (tomb) where it seemingly dies only to emerge as a butterfly, this insect has become a symbol of Christ’s Resurrection and the resurrection of all. Lamb with BannerThe standing lamb bearing the cross emblazoned banner of victory signifies the Resurrection. Representing Jesus the Son of God, the lamb has a three-rayed nimbus around his head. The banner is a swallow-tailed pennon and the staff has a cross top. “At the Lamb’s high feast we sing,” an Easter hymn emphasizes the origin of this symbol in the paschal lamb. Two lines in the original English version read: “Now thy banner thou dost wave; Vanquished Satan and the grave.”
Easter EggsThe egg became a symbol of the Resurrection and of Easter because the chick enclosed in the shell (like a tomb) breaks forth to life. The fertilized egg looks dead but contains the promise of life. Colored eggs represent the hues of an Easter sunrise.
Banner with CrossThe Lamb of God carrying this banner and Christ rising from the grave bearing such a banner are exhibiting a symbol of victory—the victory over death won by Christ.
DolphinWith pagans the dolphin had become a popular symbol of salvation and immortality before Christians took it over for use in the Catacombs. Sometimes used as the fish which swallowed Jonah and cast him forth on the third day, the dolphin easily became symbolic of the Resurrection of Christ.

What brought you to St. Matthew’s?
• In 2006 – when I was moving to Milwaukee to be with John – Pastor Gary and John determined that the responsibilities of St. Matthew’s music ministry had grown beyond a single full-time position. With my experience in church music, they asked if I would assist John by directing the younger handbell choirs – Godsbells and Righteous Ringers. Several years later, after Sue passed away, my position expanded to coordinate and direct the children’s choirs – Praise Kids and New Creation. Because of my full-time position with Hal Leonard, John and I actually share the responsibilities of these choirs, which is actually a full-time job in itself.
Please describe your education and tell about any previous work experience that you’d like to share.• Bachelor of Music (Voice major; Piano minor) – Oklahoma Baptist University• Master of Church Music - Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
• In my 30 year career, I’ve served churches in Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
• My work in the music publishing industry includes music curriculum development for children’s choirs from preschool through grade 6, choral editing, writing, and arranging for children and youth choirs. Past publishing companies for whom I’ve worked include LifeWay Christian Resources, the United Methodist Publishing House, World Library Publications, and Choristers Guild.
As your position at St. Matthew’s is part-time, tell us about your daytime job.• I’m a Choral Editor in the Choral department at Hal Leonard, LLC. I coordinate and edit choral music published for use in schools and churches. I’m the
editor for a sacred children’s choral catalog called WORSHIP SONGS, JR. This series publishes music for children in grades K-6.
Hal Leonard holds the exclusive print rights for many Pop, Jazz, Classical, and Broadway copyrights including the ever famous Walt Disney Company. This gives me the opportunity to also work on publishing projects for many of our favorite songs from the past to present day.
Tell us about your family.• My mother, Anne, and stepfather, Roy, live in Dallas, TX. They care for my 93 year old grandmother,
Norma, who lives with them. I have 2 step-brothers who also live in the Dallas area.
What types of activities do you like to get involved in when you have some free time?•Dogs, travel, and eating are my favorite pastimes!
Anything you’d like to add?• In our children’s music ministry at St Matthew’s, we strive to nurture the musical and spiritual development of our children. We are blessed to have a number of highly talented and experienced people to make this area of St. Matthew’s music ministry one of the best in our city and state. Those folks include John Paradowski, Heide Hughes, Amy Dankwardt, Dara Greene, and Sarah Widder. I feel very blessed to work alongside these amazing people every week!

Edward, a young Rwandan member of the Lutheran Church in Kigali, leans over to me every few minutes to translate parts of the service we’re attending. In a low voice, he tells me a short summary of what the preacher just said in Kiswahili. I’ve been in language school for two days learning Kinyarwanda and now happen to find myself at the Lutheran church’s monthly Kiswahili service. I don’t mind. I probably would have under-stood about the same amount either way (about zero). About two-thirds of the way through the service, Edward leans over, “Communion,” he says. I appreciate his help, but this one I had on lock. I watch as the pastor breaks the bread and pours the wine, something I’ve watched my own father do most Sundays of my life. I walk up to the railing and kneel at the altar. I receive a wafer in my hands and place it on my tongue. This is the body broken for me. I don’t need a translation to know the pastor’s words. I am the body. I know. As the tray of wine comes by, I tentatively reach for a cup. This is the blood poured out for me. I say a short prayer and walk back to my seat. I reflect, quietly, on what just happened. I just communed with a Kiswahili speaking congregation ... In Kigali ... in Rwanda ... where I live. And suddenly I could be anywhere. I am everywhere. I am finally across the table from my granddaddy again. I am breaking bread with my grandmother as she hums the hymns that quietly coax me to sleep. I am at Lutheridge in an Upper Craft Lodge on a Thursday. I am at Briarwood on a Friday afternoon. I am at Flathead on a Sunday morning -- the sun spilling over my face like water. I am in a circle with 74 Young Adults in Global Mission and the communities they are serving all over the world. I’m holding the hands of all of the best friends I left in the U.S. I’m in a pew next to my sweet family, my siblings and I trying not to attract too much attention as we make each other giggle. I am home. I am here. I am in the kingdom of God. I am in Rwanda.
And slowly I realize that I have always been here, at this same table next to my new Rwandan friends. My whole life, I have been seated beside the kind souls of Edward and Veronica and Frank, speaking Kiswahili and Kinyarwanda and English. I have been surrounded by a communion of saints who -- though I could not see them -- were no less present with me every other time I took communion than they are now. The service proceeds and I continue to understand nothing. I spend a few more minutes pondering my com-munion experience. I feel the breeze drift lazily through the church’s open windows. I am completely at peace. As the service concludes, Edward leans over to me one last time. The theologian, Veronica, just said something in Kiswahili. “You know what she said?” he asks. He knows I don’t, but I shake my head anyway. He smiles over at me and says “She said ‘All languages are understood in heaven.’” All are seated at the communion table in the kingdom. All are understood. Amina. Amen.

Remembering Bob Beecher Bob Beecher, loving husband to Carol Beecher, passed away on March 21st, due to increased complications from kidney cancer. Bob was well known in the Children’s Hospital medical community for his speech pathology expertise and often consulted nationally with other
hospitals due to his pioneering approaches to infant and child speech and swallowing techniques. Many stories also came forward at his death about how Bob helped many families even here at St. Matthew’s over a cup of coffee during the Sunday education hour.
Bob was also well known and loved around St. Matthew’s due to his kind and friendly manner, always willing to give time to someone who wanted to bend his ear. Bob was known for being late, even on the day Bob married Carol at St. Matthew’s in 1999,
because people mattered more than the list of things that had to be done. By the way, Carol didn’t mind him being late that day, and they have been inseparable ever since, often seen holding hands and walking lovingly together. Bob will be missed by many of us at St. Matthew’s and in the Milwaukee community, but will be missed most by Carol who is struggling with advanced Alzheimer’s. Because of her disease, she has been moved into a care facility in the Grafton area to be near her daughter who is now taking over for Bob as her caregiver. Please keep Carol in your prayers as Bob’s absence has left a large hole in her life. We will miss you Bob, but remember the promise Jesus left us that we will greet one another again some day in the next life. Until then, peace be with you!

Sunday School Big Group - What is Pentecost?
Rotational Sunday School grades 1-5 had a Big Group gathering on April 2 when the church holiday of Pentecost was introduced. The children made Holy Spirit windsocks. They also learned that the rushing winds of Pentecost filled the disciples with the Holy Spirit who could then share the Spirit with others. Since Pentecost is known as the birthday of the church, what better snack than Birthday Cake?
