Response Questions April 19 Questions for Adults • We live in a dangerous, sin cursed world. God is acting to rescue us through the mission of Jesus Christ. How do you feel about Jesus, that he would leave the glory of heaven behind and enter this dangerous world to rescue you? How should we respond to Jesus' rescue mission? • Read 1 Corinthians 15:26. Death is identified as an enemy. How can you relate to this description? What encouragement do you find in the statement that death will be destroyed? • Pastor John mentioned that Christians responded differently from their neighbors during the Cyprian Plague of 250-270 AD. How can Christians respond to the Corona virus pandemic day to love and serve our neighbors? Questions for Families with Students and Youth I want you to imagine with me that you are living in the Star Wars universe prior to Episode IV, A New Hope. The Empire’s reach knows no limitations. The universe is in turmoil and despair. The galaxy is hopeless. This is the world in which Princess Leia records a message in which she asks for help from an old Jedi (you know the line from the movie), “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” • What about our world today? What are some things that make it seem that we are without hope? (think about top news stories) • The world is a mess, we are human beings full of sin and capable of hurting others. • However, Paul reminds us that we have something that has given us a hope greater than the sin and despair of this world we live in…what is it? hint- we just celebrated it (resurrection) Read 1 Corinthians 15: 30-33 in The Message Bible 30-33 And why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live. Do you think I’d do this if I wasn’t convinced of your resurrection and mine as guaranteed by the resurrected Messiah Jesus? Do you think I was just trying to act heroic when I fought the wild beasts at Ephesus, hoping it wouldn’t be the end of me? Not on your life! It’s resurrection, resurrection, always resurrection, that undergirds what I do and say, the way I live. If there’s no resurrection, “We eat, we drink, the next day we die,” and that’s all there is to it. But don’t fool yourselves. Don’t let yourselves be poisoned by this anti-resurrection loose talk. “Bad company ruins good manners.” • What do you think are some of the dangerous things Paul faced as he went around speaking about having a relationship with Jesus? (death, imprisonment, beatings, plots against his life, and persecution) • Wow! Do you experience any of those things for Jesus? • Even if Paul had some fear about these things it didn’t stop him from talking about Jesus and serving people in Jesus’ name. What made it possible for him to do so? (resurrection power) • Why does the resurrection make Paul’s life different? (guarantees our hope in heaven, something great than this life) What about ours? • What does it empower him and us to be able to do? (change his life, his witness, his fears, etc) • Share one thing that you are finding hard to trust God with (what are you anxious and fearful about)? • How can the power of resurrection hope help you to trust God this week? • Find a way to sue that resurrection power to serve another person this week. Prayer you can use together: Yesterday I was Crucified with Him; today I am glorified with Him. Yesterday I died with Him; today I am made alive in Him. Yesterday, I was buried with Him, today I am raised up with Him. Let us offer ourselves to Him who suffered and rose again for us. Let us become divine for His sake, since for us He became human. Amen Excerpt from the Easter Oration of St. Gregory the Theologian Want to Dig Deeper? Imagine our country being attacked on our own soil. The invading military wipes out all forms of communication. Our military forces strategize together and strike hard against this enemy. After a long, difficult battle, our military wins the war. Communication has not yet been reestablished. You are assigned to an elite team of messengers that spreads the word that we are no longer slaves and captives of our enemy. Do you go out embarrassed, quietly muttering about victory and freedom? No, you proclaim it! • What is one way this week you can do the same with the hope and freedom we find in Jesus? (Remember, it is our joyous task to proclaim) Questions for Families with Children • The apostle, Paul, is the writer of the book of 1 Corinthians. Reread 1 Corinthians 15:22 in your children’s Bible. Who is Paul talking about when he says “Adam”? • What happened to Adam and Eve in the Garden? Why was it bad that they ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? (Because God told them not to and they weren’t following His commands) • What is it called when you do something that God doesn’t want you to do? (sin) Is everyone sinful? • Why did we celebrate Easter last Sunday? (to celebrate Jesus' resurrection; if your child is younger, use this word and talk about what it means) Jesus was blameless and without sin, so whose sin did Jesus defeat by dying on the cross? (ours) • What is the gift we can receive if we follow Jesus? (eternal life) What are some things you can do to keep sin from taking over your life? (follow God's commands, pray/talk with God, etc.) • Challenge: Here's a fun activity for your family to do to help reinforce the good news of the Gospel and our wonderful gift of eternal life. The only materials you'll need are Playdoh, a wire or plastic hanger, a hammer, a bag of candy, a ruler, and a small wrapped gift. • Eternal Life Scavenger Hunt https://www.kidssundayschool.com/gradeschool/activities/eternal-life-scavenger-hunt.

  • Old Bush Songs Composed and Sung in the Bushranging, Digging and Overlanding Days
    Old Bush Songs Composed and Sung in the Bushranging, Digging and Overlanding Days Edited by Paterson, Andrew Barton (1864-1941) A digital text sponsored by University of Sydney Library Sydney 1999 http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/ © 1999 University of Sydney Library. The texts and images are not to be used for commercial purposes without permission. Source Text: Prepared against the print edition published by Angus and Robertson, Sydney 1905 All quotation marks retained as data All unambiguous end-of-line hyphens have been removed, and the trailing part of a word has been joined to the preceding line. First Published: 1905 821.08 Australian Etexts poetry verse 1890-1909 The Old Bush Songs Composed and Sung in the Bushranging, Digging and Overlanding Days Edited by A.B. Paterson Sydney Angus and Robertson 1905 Preface The object of the present publication is to gather together all the old bush songs that are worth remembering. Apart from other considerations, there are many Australians who will be reminded by these songs of the life of the shearing sheds, the roar of the diggings townships, and the campfires of the overlanders. The diggings are all deep sinking now, the shearing is done by contract, and the cattle are sent by rail to market, while newspapers travel all over Australia; so there will be no more bush ballads composed and sung, as these were composed and sung, as records of the early days of the nation. In their very roughness, in their absolute lack of any mention of home ties or of the domestic affections, they proclaim their genuineness.

  • Three Songs of Reinmar Der Alee a Formal-Structural Interpretation
    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly ss received 66-1860 WEDGWOOD, Stephen H ensleigh, 1936- THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALTE: A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION. The Ohio State University, Fh.D., 1965 Language and Literature, modem University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALEE A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Hensleigh Wedgwood, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1965 Approved by v Adviser, Department of German PREFACE The modern interpreter of medieval literature faces certain difficulties which are, by the nature of things, insurmountable. The most serious from a practi­ cal viewpoint is perhaps the lack of reliable texts. The manuscripts which transmit Reinmar's songs, for example, date at the earliest from the end of the thirteenth cen­ tury — nearly a century after the death of the poet. During the several generations which separate the songs' composition from their collection and copying in the various manuscripts, numerous corruptions, omissions, and rearrangements necessarily occurred which, despite the best efforts of distinguished textual scholars since Karl Lachmann and before, simply cannot be rectified. The critic, seeking to approach and understand Reinmar and the other Minnesingers, deals at best with an approxima­ tion of what the poet actually sang. In yet another sense our understanding of Rein- mar's songs can only be approximate. Reinmar, like his contemporaries, was as much composer as poet. Words and music of the Minnesanp; were created together, each song in its own characteristic "Ton," and undoubtedly the musi­ cal structure of the songs in large part determined their verbal form.

  • Fit for a King Summit 1-14-21 >>: Hello. I'm Michael Dunne, Board
    Fit for a King Summit 1-14-21 >>: Hello. I'm Michael Dunne, Board President of the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center. Welcome to the 14th annual Fit for a King summit which is annual tribute to the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. This is our first virtual summit. We miss seeing you in person. Before we begin, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge that any time we talk about housing, we are also talking about land, while we may be virtual this year, the land we occupy is indigenous land. I'm coming to you from what we now call New Orleans, but it was once known as -- a place of many tongues and home to tribes such as the Houma, and Choctaw tribes among others. As we talk today as displacement and resistance in Louisiana, we hope to honor this indigenous history in the ongoing struggle against colonialization of this land. We know this is important to remember as we combat environmental racism, our topic for today which has had devastating impacts on indigenous communities for generations. We also recognize that indigenous leaders have been at the forefront for fighting environmental justice. For environmental justice. We have lost family members, neighbors, and friends to the COVID 19 pandemic, particularly communities of color that have been hit hard due to generations of systematic racism. We watched as gorge Floyd and too many others were murdered. We've seen desperation grow as policy makers inability to prioritize health and safety has put 30 million at risk of eviction.

  • Memorial Service for the Crew of Sts-107
    Feb. 6, 2003 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE CREW OF STS-107 JOHNSON SPACE CENTER FEBRUARY 4, 2003 TRANSCRIPT: RABBI HAROLD ROBINSON: The Hebrew Poet Bialic wrote: (Reciting Hebrew.) After my death, mourn me thus, there was a man and sea. He is no more. Before his time, his life was ended, and the melody of their lives were broken in its midst. Oh, they had one more melody and now that melody is lost, lost forever. Eternal God, when we view our little planet from out in space, we learn the unity of all humanity here on Earth. We are one as you are one. Did you not teach us this from the very beginning? As we read "And God created humanity in God's own image." Still the ancient Psalmist asked and prayed, “Eternal God, what are we that you have regard for us? What are we that you are mindful of us? We are like a breath, our days are as a passing shadow. We come and go like grass, which in the morning shoots up renewed and in the evening fades and withers. You cause us to revert to dust saying return, oh mortal creatures, would that we were wise that we would understand wither we are going, for when we die we carry nothing away; our glory does not accompany us. Mark the whole-hearted, behold the upright, for their end is peace. Oh God, you redeem the souls of all your servants and none of those who trust in you shall ever be forsaken.” (Reciting Hebrew.) May the abode of all creation grant consolation to all who mourn, comfort to all the bereaved, even here, oh God, you are the fountain from which our healing flows.

Christ Lutheran Church 150 Fifth Street Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota 651-433-3222 clcmarine.org 3 Before there can be an Us, there is a Me. Sounds right. Sounds even simple. Whether we are talking about two people or two hundred people, any notion of Us presumes the individual—presumes the Me. And while for the sake of appearances we often project a Me that is stable and solid, completely put to- gether - for many of us the real Me is barely holding it together. We suppress. We ignore. We hide the truth of our lives, the truth of what it means to be Me. During these days and weeks of Lent we are hoping to be a safe place for you to be honest with all of who you are. We are inviting you to find strength and heal- ing by acknowledging that sometimes our lives are not perfectly put together.
