March 2018 2 “That’s the Spirit” Holy Spirit Pastor Jeremy Nausin Lutheran Church 6670 W. Cheyenne Avenue Las Vegas, NV 89108-4931 On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, (702) 645-1777 FAX (702) 645-8107 the Israelites gathered together, fasting and E-Mail: [email protected] wearing sackcloth and Web site: http://www.holyspiritlasvegas.org putting dust on their ELCA: www.elca.org heads. Those of Israelite descent had WORSHIP HOURS separated themselves (Nursery Provided) from all foreigners. Saturday Worship They stood in their Traditional 5:30pm places and confessed Sunday Worship their sins and the sins of their ancestors. They Contemporary 8:30am stood where they were and read from the Book of Sunday School 9:35am the Law of the LORD their God for a quarter of the Traditional 10:30am day, and spent another quarter in confession and in OFFICE HOURS worshiping the LORD their God.-Nehemiah 9: 1-3 Monday-Thursday 8am - 4:30pm Fasting has always been a part of our faith history, going back to the Friday 8am - 12:00pm Israelites. Refusing to eat is a way of humbling oneself. Part of what our CHURCH STAFF faith ancestors have passed down to us, was the understanding that there Pastor Jeremy Nausin is supposed to be certain times of year that we remember our past, our Music Minister Tim Beasley truth, and our failures. There is a time to celebrate in joy and other times to Guitarist Andrew Silva wretch with grief. There is a reality to our faith that includes us taking a Office Manager Loretta Block time to reflect and return to God with heart, soul, mind and body. This Custodian Karen Dunn “returning” is a reminder that one day, each of us will return to our Lord Groundskeeper Terry West forever. CHURCH COUNCIL One common faith practice during Lent is the practice of giving something Keith Hopkey, President 702 255-9042 up, or adding something faithful to your daily life during the 40 days. Often Michele Anderson, VP 702 540-0637 times this usually includes giving up some kind of food, habit, or indulgence Ray Betts, Secretary 702 232-0337 as what we give up. Adding things like community service, food pantry Jim Cassidy 630 740-8003 donation, or charity giving are other ways that people enhance their Lenten Matthew McMahan Youth Rep journey. All of these are great ways to help enhance your experience; to Mike McMahan 702 243-9283 make physical your faith in a daily walk. Janet Saterlie 702 658-8042 Marsha Stephenson 702 645-4316 However, this Lent I want to challenge you to try something new. This Cindy White 702 243-5647 would be a way to both add and give something up for this spiritual season. Eileen Miers Recording Secretary Often times when I read the Bible, I read a part of the Scriptures and then Dean Chapman Treasurer take some time in reflection over what I have read. But one of the joys of being a pastor is to read what other Newsletter Staff people think about Scripture. I think there is something Editor/Layout: faithful about not always reading into Scripture what we Jackie Hopkey – 702 255-9042 think, or we know. So I am going to challenge you this E-Mail: [email protected] Lent to do a bit of fasting for your mind. Or you may Proof: Ruth Ann Isaacs, Loretta Block look at it in terms of adding something to your Lenten Journey. Find one commentary, (it could be from the local library, or our church library, or talk to me if you want to borrow one of mine) to read during Lent. Take some time to engage with the author in their writing. Do you agree with them? Do you find something inspiring? Are there edges that make you wrestle? Have they shown you something you haven’t seen before? What’s their theology (understanding of God)? I think this is a different approach to fasting this Lent. Fasting from our own thoughts and listening to the views of others, can be a good way to reflect on our faith. March 2018 3 “That’s the Spirit” Council President Jesus said, “I give you a new members and friends during 2017. We are praying for a commandment, that you love one similar occurrence in 2018. In our 2019 budget planning we another. Just as I have loved you, will be looking to begin increasing our budgeted Outreach by you should also love one another.

The greatest increase was in our Granted, as Salary and Benefits category which was to be expected with a some could full-time pastor back on board and some staff compensation Keith Hopkey say, in these increases. two verses of John, Jesus is speaking Funding for our 2018 Budget was possible due to excess cash with and to His disciples. However, I flow from your generous support during 2017 and the believe Jesus’ words also speak to us excellent Stewardship campaign conducted for 2018.

    March 2016 Newsletter First Congregational United Church of Christ 1000 Willson Avenue - Webster City, Iowa 50595 515-832-2232 http://www.firstcongregationalwc.org/ “The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, ‘Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a market-place!’His disciples remembered that it was written, ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.’ The Jews then said to him, ‘What sign can you show us for doing this?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews then said, ‘This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?’ But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.”—John 2:13-22 Today I remembered an old family Easter ritual I hadn’t thought of in decades! When we were little, my siblings and I used to color Easter eggs during Holy Week using Paas egg dyes and wax crayons. We would gather six coffee cups, add a half cup of vinegar to each one, drop the color tablet in, and when it was dissolved we would top the cup off with water.

We gather as a community of believers to share this amazing story. Our proclamation is little different today than when Mary proclaimed her story to the disciples. They bury Jesus in a borrowed tomb. Jesus’ friends came to the tomb on the first day of the week. The stone was rolled away. It was not rolled away that he might come out, but that they might go in. Jesus was not there. Jesus appears to Mary. Mary follows Jesus’ calling to tell her story. From that day, Jesus has been calling men and women to share their stories, to preach the good news of the resurrection of Christ. Are you willing to look for God working in the world in surprising ways? How can we on this Easer Sunday experience the Resurrected Christ anew? As the morning sun rises in the east, let us remember that wonderful day when Mary and the disciples arrived at the empty tomb. Jesus called Mary to share in the unexpected glory of that first Easter. Jesus is still calling us today to share in Christ’s unexpected glories.
