Welcome! Interment Reflection

for the Community 
Everyone is Welcome! 
Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds. John 19. 
What a friend we have in Jesus
Joseph Medlicott Scriven 1855 
 performed by Alan Jackson 
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!

Prayers: 
  • Merciful God,
    release us from the time of trial and oppression,
    that we may witness to the eternal hope
    of grief becoming joy
    and life rising from death. Amen. 
  • Eternal God, rock and refuge:
    with roots grown old in the earth,
    river beds run dry,
    and flowers withered in the field,
    we wait for revival and release.
    Abide with us
    until we come alive
    in the sunrise of your glory. Amen. 

We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.

My Lord, What Love is This? 

Graham Kendrick

My Lord, What Love is This?

 performed by The London Singers
My Lord, what love is this
That pays so dearly
That I, the guilty one
May go free! 

Prayer: 
  • Grieving God,
    on the cross
    your Son embraced death
    even as he had embraced life:
    faithfully and with good courage.
    Grant that we who have been
    born out of his wounded side
    may hold fast to our faith in him exalted
    and may find mercy in all times of need. Amen.

Everyone is Welcome!

Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. John 13. 


The Lord’s my Shepherd; I’ll not want. 
Francis Rous 
 performed by the Lutheran Quartet 
The Lord’s my Shepherd; I’ll not want. 
He makes me down to lie  
In pastures green; He leadeth me 
The quiet waters by. 

Prayer: 

Eternal God, in the sharing of a meal 
your son established a new covenant for all people, 
and in the washing of feet 
he showed us the dignity of service. 
Grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit 
these signs of our life in faith 
may speak again to our hearts, 
feed our spirits, and refresh our bodies. Amen.

Who Are You Reflection Devotion

Who Are You? 
When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”  Matt. 21:10. 

We may hear and read of people who are offended at not being treated with what they consider due respect and deference. “Do you know who I am?” they shout indignantly. And we are reminded of the statement, “If you have to tell people who you are, you probably really are not who you think you are.” The opposite of this arrogance and self-importance is seen in Jesus, even as His life on earth was nearing its end. 

Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of praise from the people. Matt. 21:7-9. When others throughout the city asked, “Who is this?” the crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee!” Matt. 21:10-11.  Jesus did not come claiming special privileges, but in humility He came to give His life in obedience to His Father’s will.

The words Jesus said and the things He did command respect. Unlike insecure rulers, He never demanded that others respect Him. His greatest hours of suffering appeared to be His lowest point of weakness and failure. Yet, the strength of His identity and mission carried Jesus through the darkest hours as He died for our sins so that we might live in His love and be saved.  – Daily Bread – David McCasland 

“Who Are You”

 – Carrie Underwood 

Who Are You? 

Who are you,
The one for who I’d really gladly suffer
Who are you,
The one I’d always love above another
You’re my world, you’re my hope, you’re all my dreams and all my heart. 

He is worthy of our lives and our devotion today. Do we recognize who He is?

Prayer: 
Lord, I am in awe of Your humility, strength, and love. And I am embarrassed by my desires for self-importance. May knowing You change every self-centered motive in my heart into a longing to live as You did in this world.  
When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same. —Oswald Chambers 
Amen! 
INSIGHT: The disciple of Christ should be preoccupied with exalting Him instead of self. The words “My utmost for His highest,” taken from Oswald Chambers’ classic devotional, express the goal of the follower of Christ.

“Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.” Mark 14:36
JC Superstar – Gethsemane – 1970 –
God, Thy will is hard but You hold every card
I will drink Your cup of poison
Nail me to Your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind.

Community Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic Lunch

Community Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic Lunch
March 28th at Valley City Park Large Pavilion
Awesome!  So many people turn out for this Community Celebration!
There were about one hundred people, some for the picnic, some for the Easter eggs, some for fellowship! We are thankful for supporters donating their time and resources. United Faith Church for their Community Center and volunteers to assemble Easter eggs, St John the Evangelist Catholic Church for its volunteers, St Mark’s Lutheran Church for its volunteers, City of Valley, Mitch Poehling for his cooking skill. Spirit of Peace Pastor Michael Hanus told a story of the Easter Hare tradition before dozens of children chased after nearly nine hundred Easter eggs. The record breaker egg collector scooped up thirty six eggs. We thank everyone for participating and supporting this successful community event! Pastors Michael and Cathy may be contacted at PeaceLCMC@gmail.com or 402-541-7019.
