PASTOR CHRIS BAESLER
                              Senior Pastor

                                              “Looking Ahead”
                               Dear Friends in Christ,
                               This month I want to use this space to inform you of present needs and changes in
                               the congregation.
          --Church Leadership has received the resignation of Cindy Dressler as the Parish Administrator. Cindy
  has served the congregation faithfully in various roles for the past 24 years. She has decided it is time to take
  another step in her journey and is excited to spend time with family and see what else God has in store for her.
  Thank you Cindy for your faithfulness and dedication. We will begin advertising for the position of Parish
  Administrator as soon as possible. Cindy has agreed to remain with us until we fill the position. Questions can be
  addressed to myself or the Council President—Ed Dreyer.
          --Covid continues to affect congregation attendance and the ability to plan consistent and predictable
  ministry. Nevertheless God is good and we have been blessed with a stable financial situation (see 2021 finan-
  cials). We have faithful congregation members who are willing to be flexible in filling ministry roles on Wednes-
  day nights as well as Saturdays and Sundays. If you haven’t been a part of Wednesday night activities yet, I would
  invite you to experience the meal, worship and faith formation. I think we offer a unique and special gathering
  during that time.
          --Looking ahead, 1 Corinthians 12:1-12 lifts up the spiritual gifts with which the Holy Spirit equips us in
  order that we might use our lives to work for the common good of all.
            “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and
  sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed…there are
  varieties of gifts and services but the same Spirit and Lord…
  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.”
           This month, the Nominating Committee will begin
  their discernment of new church leadership for various
  council positions and other roles. This is a spirit led
  process in which we gather to discern the needs of the
  congregation, spiritual gifts needed and names of people
  to whom we believe the spirit is leading us to extend an
  invitation to service. This process is centered around
  prayerful listening and openness. Please continue to pray       Join Pastor Chris each Monday at noon for a study on
  for this process asking that the Holy Spirit guides our dis-      Revelations. No need to sign up, just show up with
                                                                             your Bible and lunch (if you want).
  cernment and opens the hearts of people for leadership.
                                                                    A helpful resource, but not necessary, is the book,
  Thank you for your presence and commitment to SCLC               Revelation and the End of All Things, by Craig R. Koester.
  and remember it is the same Spirit that has claimed us all.          Questions—contact Pastor Chris at the office.
                                                                  Please check with office or on Facebook for announce-

Lutheran Outdoors Camps:
 Message from Diana Glover, member of SCLC: I want everyone to know that as a single person
 or a couple with or without children/grandchildren, you are welcome at Outlaw Ranch Family
 Camp. I am registered again this year, making it 12 years in a row (excluding 2020). Bible
 studies, worship, campfires, hikes and quiet deck time have brought my family closer to God's
 love and natural world.

PASTOR ERIK

                                “You are worthy. You are enough.
                                         You are loved.”
                        Beloved Children of God,
                         “You are worthy. You are enough. You are loved.” That’s really what my understanding of
  the Gospel breaks down to. I proclaim those without condition or exception because the Gospel says that our
  worthiness, value, and love is a gift of grace through Christ not something any of us can earn. Some would call
  me a grace extremist because of my refusal to add any caveats (e.g. if you believe this, if you stop doing that,
  etc.). In my mind, however, it’s an all or nothing deal. Either grace is gifted (in its entirety!) completely inde-
  pendent of anything I can believe or do or I must always live with an uncertainty of whether I (and you!) have
  believed or done well enough. Either it is universally and perfectly applied to all of us or it is uncertain for all of
  us. So I’m all-in on the grace thing: no caveats, conditions, or exceptions. Confess your worst secrets and I will
  still believe “You are worthy. You are enough. You are loved” because those realities are not rooted in your do-
  ing but what Christ has done for us.

  Jesus promises that if we abide in this truth the truth will set us free (John 8:31-32). Jesus’ truth can free us
  from our persistent feelings of inadequacy and endless efforts to demonstrate our worth. I say “can” because
  here our faith can bind or loose us. God may see us and say: “You are worthy. You are enough. You are loved,”
  but if we don’t believe that then we will remain captive to that feeling of inadequacy and efforts to compensate.
  That’s why I’m a grace extremist; for me, it isn’t a theological debate so much as a matter of peoples’ experience
  of God’s grace. I know that the withholding of grace from others goes hand-in-hand with the struggle to accept
  it for ourselves. We can’t doubt whether God’s grace applies to them without that doubt infecting how we think
  about ourselves.
  Maybe I’m wrong. Scripture certainly offers plenty of questions. Maybe, at the end, God will turn out to be a
  harsher judge than I believe. If I’m wrong, however, I’d rather be wrong affirming “You are worthy. You are
  enough. You are loved,” erring on the side of grace, than the other way around. “For with the judgment you
  make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get” (Matthew 7:2). So give me
  grace to the extreme and, God help me, apply the same measure to everyone else.
  It’s a simple Gospel: “You are worthy. You are enough. You are loved.” In reality, however, nothing else in the
  world operates according to that measure of unconditional love. God grant you the faith to believe it and the
  love to extend it to others.
  In Christ,
  Pastor Erik

                             I am disappointed to announce that we are unable to follow through
                             with the Music, Art, Drama VBS that we were hoping to do this
                             summer. After reviewing the contract with the licensing company
  we have learned that we are unable to do the musical the way we had hoped to do without
  breaking the rules of the contract. Funds raised from the cookie sale will be passed along to the
  youth for the Youth Gathering and we can look forward to supporting and participating with the VBS that will
  happen later this summer.—Ellen

    Here is an update on the young woman and her child that we are supporting through Lutheran Social Services.
     The child will soon be a year old, and she is a busy little girl, crawling around the apartment and standing on her
     own. Mom has a new job and will be returning to school to better support herself and her daughter. She contin-
     ues to receive help and support from us with diapers, clothes, and a few things that might come up. If you
     would like to make a donation to help support her talk with Linda Black or Pastor Chris.

Children, Youth & Family
  Hello Friends! I’m thankful for the opportunity to be here with you. At my
  installation service, I shared how I believe the heart of ministry is relationships; be-
  ing Godbearers in each other’s lives. In our ministry to children, youth and families
  we need many Godbearers; a caring presence who will point to Christ. I invite you
  to join in our ministry. Let’s generously love one another.
  In early February, I will attend the Youth Ministry Extravaganza online with other children, youth and
  family ministers. I’m looking forward to learning more about ministry in our time. God’s peace be
  with you, Michelle michelle@sclc-rc.org

  high school youth and anyone who would like to participate in being a part of our ministry together.
