Certainty in Uncertain Times You have probably heard the phrase,
“In this world nothing can be certain except death and taxes.” In
these current times this phrase rings very true. How many of us
feel less than certain in what tomorrow will bring? As we weather
this storm called coronavirus and as we hear the news, updates, and
predictions changing day-by-day and hour-by-hour, we can begin to
feel pretty uncertain, as well as feel the anxiety that goes along
with it. Jesus talks about this during his Sermon on the Mount in
Matthew 6, where He says, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious
about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor
about your body, what you will put on” (Matthew 6:25 ESV). He goes
on to point out the birds, who do not work for food, and yet God
feeds them. Likewise, He then points out the lilies of the field,
who neither toil nor spin, and yet God clothes them. Finally, Jesus
says, “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or
‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles
seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that
you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew
6:31-33 ESV). Jesus is not dismissing our daily needs. After all,
He had just finished teaching the crowds how to pray for “daily
bread” (Matthew 6:11). Rather, Jesus is encouraging us to trust in
God, not allowing the uncertainties and anxieties of life to
distract us from that which is most important: the kingdom of God
and His righteousness. Jesus had come to bring the kingdom of God,
that is, God’s reign and rule, into this world. He had come as the
Son of God who was willing to forgo the basic conveniences of life,
even offering His own life as a sacrifice for everyone’s sin, so
that we could experience true certainty—certainty in this world,
knowing that our heavenly Father will always love and provide for
us, but also certainty in the life of the world to come, where all
our needs will be perfectly met for eternity. The righteousness
Christ earned by laying down His perfect life and then rising again
on Easter morning is now given to you. It is God’s free gift,
delivered by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. And Jesus reminds
you, when you are burdened by the cares, anxieties, and
uncertainties of this life, that God is in control and you are His
own. Some days may still seem uncertain and that may cause you to
feel anxious. But realize this: tomorrow is no more or less
uncertain than it was before coronavirus. Yet, all your days are
still in God’s hands and that is the best place for them to be. God
promises to provide for you, and you can trust in Him, because He
has already given you the greatest gift of all, His Son, Jesus
Christ.

· Terry Tody moved that those officers whose term of office is
expiring and are willing to continue in office that they continue
in office till such time the congregation can act on, confirm,
extend those persons in office full term. And that the 2019-2020
Budget be extended till such time that the congregation can act on
a 2020-2021 Budget and extended Budget include any salary increases
that have already been approved be added to the Budg-et also any
new insurance premiums be included in the extended Budget, seconded
by Mike Shields, approved. · Rationale: To continue Mt. Hope
Lutheran Church’s normal business as needed, due to the closure. As
Mt. Hope is closed for now and meetings are still going on via
phone conferences, some actions still need to be taken. Mt. Hope
has been closed due to the COVID-19 virus since March 15, 2020 and
not sure when the Michigan Gover-nor will allow people to meet in
large groups again and lift the states restrictions. ·
Congregational Meeting: · There was much discussion and many
questions with no answers as of now. · Jack Owens moved that June

restrictions are lifted, etc. seconded by Sharon Hopkins, much
discussion, approved. · Congregation Meeting Agenda: § 2020-2021
Budget § Election of expired Officers § Update on Mt. Hope by
Pastor Joe and Chairman Ken Bendick · National Day of Pray: Sharon
Hopkins · Sharon reminded the Council that Thursday, May 7, 2020 is
the date of National Prayer Day. She told of a way to honor this
day is to have a front porch prayer beginning with the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag of the Unites States of America, followed by
the singing of God Bless America 2 times, ending with The Lord’s
Prayer and your own prayer for God, home and country at 11:00 am. ·
LWML, July 2020 Michigan District Conference in Gaylord, MI: ·
Terry Tody announced that the conference has been canceled this
year, not to be rescheduled. · Ken Bendick suggested when someone
says, “We’re in this together.” Come back with, “Yes, we’re in this
together with Jesus.” · A question was asked whether or not masks
will be required when we get back together again? · Pastor Joe said
that he and the Dual Parish Group have been discussing this – no
answer as of now. · Jack Owens said that each church will
individually rule on this event when it happens. Next Meeting: June
2, 2020 at 2 pm probably by phone conference. The meeting was
adjourned at 12:00 pm. We closed with a prayer led by Pastor Joe:

LIABILITIES & EQUITY 91,314.77 ADDENDUM TO THE COUNCIL MEETING,
MAY 11, 2020 Payroll Protection Loan. At the end of March, Congress
passed the CARES Act, which among other things, provided small
businesses and 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches, to
apply for assistance. We received encourage-ment from both
Synodical and District leaders for LCMS churches to apply for this,
especially the Payroll Protection Program, which provides 2.5
months’ worth of payroll costs for employees, and enables
businesses and organiza-tions to maintain their payroll during this
uncertain time. Both Trinity and Mt. Hope submitted applications,
not knowing what would be happening to our churches financially.
The first round of funding was gone within a couple days, so we did
not get approved, but our application remained on file with our
local bank. When Congress approved a second round of funding, our
application was recently accept-ed. Our Council leaders have
approved submitting this application, which means the money will be
available to us in the form of a forgivable loan. As long as the
money is spent on items for which we applied, the loan is entirely
forgiv-able. However, although we had to apply quickly in order to
be eligible, our Council will continue to evaluate our need for
this loan in the next few months. It is too early to tell at this
point, but we have kept all options on the ta-ble. I want to thank
all our leaders for moving quickly on this matter, and especially
our bookkeeper, Mary Heinlein, for all the fine work she is doing
on behalf of our congregation’s well-being. Chairman, Ken Bendick
called each Council member for a Corporate Resolution to borrow
$2,500.00, their vote as to whether or not we take advantage of
this forgivable loan. The results are 5 yes and 3 No votes, the
yeses have it and Mary Heinlein will continue the process of
borrowing this forgivable loan.

Worthy of Praise by Virginia J. Flo, Regional Director of
Minnesota & National Conference Director
What the world offers as a solution to an unplanned pregnancy is
abortion. When someone is sick, elderly, or suffers with mental
illness, the world offers physician-assisted suicide and
euthanasia. It becomes difficult to remain faithful to God’s Word
when we live in a culture of death.
As Christians we know that God can change a bad situation into
something very good. Yet, all we seem to hear about are the bad
things. I guess that’s because unless it’s extremely sensational it
doesn’t make the news for the day. Yet, what I consider real news
comes with a touch of joy as our hearts are lifted up when we hear
it.
For example, how about a mother who wasn’t sure having a baby
was something she wanted or could
handle? Yet, something happens at that moment of birth as that
new life appears and excitement fills the
room. Whether the mother has a change of heart or sees that the
child gets a loving home through adoption,
this is a seemingly bad thing turned very good. Or, how about a
terminal diagnosis when all seems lost, but a
family comes together in support of the patient, and life seems
better even though the future is unsure. Work-
ing through the illness may bring some precious days as things
like baptisms, confirmations, graduations,
weddings, and more family events become more meaningful when
each day is seen as a gift.
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things. What you have learned and received and
heard and seen in me—practice
these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
(Philippians 4:8-9)
We need to look for the good rather than focus on the bad. My
local weather-man shows pictures of people having a birthday often
doing things that are just plain fun. These are generally very
young or very old people who at both spectrums of life are enjoying
it. He doesn’t show people with glum looks on their faces—they are
happy people! That’s the news I like to see and hear. There is so
much for which to give praise and glory to God in our world; we
just need to be sure it doesn’t pass us by.
I also don’t think we do enough celebrating. A while ago our
church celebrated with a couple who were married for 70 years. What
a joy that was. We could have just waited and gathered at one of
their funer-als, but someone thought it would be great to let them
see old friends, at least those still around. And they found great
joy in greeting new friends who didn’t know them well but were
curious about a 70-year mar-riage. I didn’t see a frown in the
bunch that day. Praise the Lord!
Do birthdays go by without mention? I like to be re-minded of
someone’s birthday on Facebook as I would never have remembered all
my friends’ birthdays otherwise. Although sometimes I am not fond
of so-cial media, I do appreciate the birthday reminders as a
special means to celebrate online. My church publiciz-es weekly
birthdays and anniversaries, maybe yours does too. Greeting people
and sharing a blessing for their special day brings as much joy to
me as to those receiving it. Enjoy those special birthday moments
God gives us through His creation and the gift of life.
Everyone has been gifted in some way or another. Those having
the gifts may not even be aware what a gift it really is. Yet, when
used in service to the Lord, it is worthy of praise. I marvel at
the quilters at my church who quietly meet regularly. I don’t even
know who they all are or what they do until once a year when they
display their finished products on the church pews as they are
dedicated for the mission for which they are intended. The gifts in
the hands and hearts of those doing this labor of love are amazing.
Yet, they keep their anonymity and find their Christian fellowship
and acts of service reward enough.
May we be able to see God’s hand in the little things in life
that are really very big things worthy of praise and thanksgiving!
To God be the glory!

Family Living
Starting Life Conversations by Stephenie Hovland
Recently, a friend asked me for a list of pro-life children’s
books. I immediately drew a blank—and then ideas flooded my brain.
But not ideas for books that have an obvious bent toward
life-affirming ideas. In-stead, I thought of books, movies, and TV
shows that had stirred life conversations with my students and
family. I realized that I could view many books as “pro-life” that
others would not, simply because I was looking at eve-ry piece of
media as something to be consumed through a “For Life” worldview
lens. And that can’t be put into a simple list. Instead, let me
explain it a bit.
When I read a picture book, I look at the illustrations and
notice the value of the humans (or animals with human qualities).
Many books show the value of babies before they’re born because we
anticipate them being cute newborns. I go beyond the potential cute
factor and point out the humanness of the baby and how God val-ues
them when they are not yet born as much as when they are grown up.
Children readily agree, and the idea of caring for unborn babies as
much as born babies is an important concept for all people.
Many picture books and chapter books these days focus on human
rights and social justice. I read those and confirm that all humans
are loved equally by God, no matter their race, their job, their
gender, or their age. That love leads us to action. When we believe
in caring for the unborn, the disabled, and those nearing death, we
may find ourselves wanting to change laws and hearts to see their
value. That is a Christian worldview that many can understand.
I watch for little sayings in picture books because picture-book
authors choose every single word with care. I watch for themes in
novels and movies, and I point them out or help students notice
them as well. I can see when the student understands. But then I
may take it a step further. I share how the concept has shown up in
my life or the community around us. Then the child has a more
personal understanding. As they keep reading or watching, they
really feel like they are experiencing what is happening in the
movie or book and see how it re-lates to their worldview.
Sometimes what we read or watch may have a contrasting
worldview. It could be one choice a character makes, how they live,
or how a bad situation has encouraged them to continue in poor
choices. Often I turn it off, but sometimes I use it as a
discussion point. When the child realizes that we all have choices,
including sin-ful ones, then he can also see that we have
consequences. We may talk about the commandments, God’s will for
us, free will, and consequences. That’s a life lesson we all learn,
so why not guide them through it by watching or reading about
someone else? It can give them some foundational thinking for the
future.
As parents, relatives, friends, and teachers, we have
opportunities to speak into the lives of the young people around
us. I caution you not to make every single book, movie, or TV show
a morality lesson. Youth and students will tune you out or avoid
you, if you do. But do speak up, especially when your worldview
lesson is Gospel-motivated. Learning that God forgives and loves
each one of us is something that we can never hear too often
