From the Pastor’s Desk
                    Living on God’s Mountain Part II
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
      but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
                                Matthew 7:21
We’ll finish up our current sermon series on the Sermon on the Mount in
March. Chapter 7 ends with four sections on two choices: narrow and wide
gates, true and false prophets, true and false disciples, and wise and foolish
builders. Our society doesn’t like absolutes. Experts say truth can vary, it de-
pends on your situation or everything can be rationalized or explained away. Je-
sus believed in absolute truth because he said he was the truth, “I am the way
and the truth and the life.” (John 14:6)
When we read something in the Bible or hear a lesson or sermon from the Bible
about something we don’t really agree with, we might try to discredit scripture,
ignore scripture, or just try to explain that it doesn’t really say that. I worry
when experts, ministers, or anyone tries to water down what scripture is teach-
ing so they don’t have change their lives or beliefs and so they can also fall in
line with what our current culture says is true. Chapter 5 of Matthew of the Ser-
mon on the Mount is all about that as well as Matthew 23 when Jesus warned
the Pharisees about twisting the laws of God. Jesus ends the Sermon on the
Mount with this “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts
them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the
rock.” (Matthew 7:24) We aren’t called to adjust his words but to put them into
practice.
There are two choices. There is a wide gate and a narrow gate. There isn’t a
third option. It’s your choice. Jesus says only a few find the road that leads to
life. I think that is why Jesus was not impressed with crowds during his ministry
and we shouldn’t be impressed or swayed by crowds either. Let’s make sure
where we stand with God while we have the time. Don’t be lulled into a false
sense of security that scripture can be made to fit what we want it to fit. Jesus
gives this ominous warning in Matthew 7:22,23 “Many will say to me on that
day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out
demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plain-
ly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” Those verses should
make all of us pause and examine our relationship with Jesus. The Sermon on
the Mount gives us the blueprint to life that Jesus demands of us disciples.
Build our lives on him and his words. Bend our lives and our will to him and
not to what our society says is truth. It won’t be easy but it will have an eternal
impact for you and your loved ones.

You’ll notice a few changes to Sunday morning worship. The Consistory ap-
proved the hymnals, cards, and pens being put back in the pews as well as cer-
tain sections of pews not being roped off. We still encourage the wearing of
masks when you are up and around as well as social distancing. The Consistory
continues to monitor the conditions in the county and are encouraged with the
lower case numbers during the month of February. We are the lowest levels
since June of 2020. We give God praise for this and for all the vaccinations be-
ing distributed. Don’t miss the Wednesday night Lent services and the State-
ments of Faith from our confirmands. We have great special music planned as
well.
Looking forward to spring and warmer temps. May God bless all of you with
his strength and power.
Serving Christ Together,
Russ

In new business, committees are being asked to update each description and
have that ready for the cabinet meeting on March 7th at 4pm. Each committee
will be asked to have a representative present to help present on the activities
of the group they represent.

There is to be a new Audio/Visual committee formed, please speak to Andy
Burger or Ronnie Kissick if you have an interest in joining this team. Approv-
al of organ maintenance was given after reviewing a letter from Beth Dampf.

Pastor Russ has had discussions with 3 families regarding their preferences on
baptisms, at this time 2 of them would like to have the baptism with a sprin-
kling. One family is asking to have a private baptism, consistory stated this
has been done in the past and is okay to move forward. Along same discus-
sion, there are 2 confirmands who have not been baptized, one is for sure inter-
ested the other has yet to decide.

Consistory was made aware of the water heater not keeping up with the dish-
washer. Ronnie and Andy are looking into solutions.

Approval given to order additional lettering for the marquees.

Teachers and Officers is planning to hold Easter Breakfast this year on Easter
Sunday, Consistory approves of this plan. Regarding Lent and Easter services:
live streaming will be available for Ash Wed and Maundy Thursday- other
dates will be recorded and posted. No nursery during lent services.

Additional discussion on COVID restrictions in our facility. It was decided to
replace hymnals and Bibles for individual use as they feel comfortable. There
will still be large print bulletins, but we will add in regular bulletins by Feb
21st. The sanctuary will also be marked off slightly differently as we try to al-
low for additional seating. Half of each side will be marked every other pew
while opening the rest. The first two rows on both sides will remain blocked
because of presenters/musicians.

The next Communion dates are – February 17, 2021 – Ash Wednesday;
April 1, 2021 – Maundy Thursday.

term transitional living center for homeless women with addictions.

New Business:
Pre-K class – Elizabeth Ash and Betty Cobb with start teaching in-person
Sunday School. Rhonda and Julie will continue to mail monthly materials to

e-giving like church members have the option to contribute online. Car-
la will talk with Tammy Kilmer, Cinda Scheidt, and Renee’ Clifford to
see if Sunday School could be apart of e-giving. This could possibility
be done by just adding a Sunday School to the list.

Cinda Scheidt has agreed to be the finance person for those wanting to
attend church camps this year. Courtney made a motion that the Sunday
School pay half the early registration for church camp. Carla seconded.
Motion passed. Carole Barbour will be asked to be the spokesperson to

             is in the Ministry
                      of Transforming Lives
Brotherhood Minutes – February 22, 2021

Business Meeting – Abe Rohrbach opened the business meeting at 7:30
p.m. with approximately 25 members and guests in attendance. The
minutes of the January meeting were read and approved after Norman
mentioning that he had inadvertently left Jerry Wolfrum’s name off the
Annual Brotherhood Report as Vice-President. The treasurer’s report
was approved, showing a balance of $1,388.71. Under old business, it
was moved, seconded and passed to give a $500 donation to the Grace
Living Center in Clarksburg, MO. In new business, Abe opened nomi-
nations for the office of president and secretary for a two-year term. Af-
ter a brief discussion, the group decided to postpone the officer election
until next month. Dave Meyer volunteered to assist Larry Rohrbach on
the program committee. Abe called for members to volunteer for the de-
votion and refreshments for regular meetings for the rest of the year. He
then invited any interested member to attend the meeting of the church
cabinet on Sunday, March 7 at 4:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned.

Devotion – Steven Burger presented the devotion on the topic of free-
dom. He referenced Romans 8:18 & 21 and Galatians 5:1. He dis-
cussed the struggle between individual freedom and societal needs and
restrictions. People thought Jesus would come and free us from oppres-
sion as a good king with power, but he instead came to free us from our
own sin and eternal condemnation. True freedom occurs when we elect
to bring God, the Holy Spirit and the redeeming love of Christ Jesus into
our lives.

Program – Pastor Cobb introduced Anna Maria Hendrix and her hus-
band Keith as the program for the evening. Anna Maria and Keith live
on a farm on the north side of the Moniteau creek on highway 87. Anna
Maria spent her early years in Cuba and emigrated to the United States
in November, 1963 with her father and mother at age 16. She had two
brothers who had already emigrated before them. She shared memories
of the situation in Cuba during and after the revolution –
      - 1/1959 – Fidel Castro and his regime came down out of the
        mountains with a large military presence and took over the gov-
        ernment – excited crowds lined the streets.
- there were executions of many previous government officials.
     - over time, the Castro regime took control of all property, start-
        ing with government properties, especially those owned by
        U.S. interests, then property owned by the wealthy and on
        down the line until everything was under government control.
        All bank accounts were frozen. Store owners handed their keys
        and merchandise to government officials.
     - food was rationed with ration cards, with only limited and poor
        quality provisions for common folks.
     - Anna Maria’s father was a doctor (anesthesiologist). The hospi-
        tals were poorly staffed and buildings and equipment fell into
        disrepair and medicines scarce or impossible to get.
     - people could only leave Cuba with permission from the govern-
        ment. Anna Maria’s two brothers emigrated when they had the
        chance.
     - Anna Maria and her parents received permission to leave and
        flew to Mexico in November, 1963. Before they left, govern-
        ment officials came to their home to inventory everything in
        their home. They were allowed to leave the country with five
        changes of clothes and little else. All they had with them ended
        up in one bag. After spending a couple of months in Mexico,
        they flew to the U.S. Their immigration sponsor was a doctor
        who was a friend of Anna Maria’s dad. Her father worked hard
        to learn the language and pass the medical exams necessary to
        practice here. They ended up living in Georgia, where she met
        Keith who was stationed there in the service. Keith grew up in
        Jefferson City.
     - Anna Maria applied for and received her citizenship five years
        after they arrived in the U.S.
     - Keith and Anna Maria have two sons, one in Oregon and one in
        Chicago.

Refreshments – Great refreshments were served by Larry Rohrbach.
