“The Seasons of Lent and Easter”

And God said, "Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from

the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years… Genesis

1:14

Jesus was raised from the dead on the first Sunday following the feast of Passover!

The calculation of the date for Passover thus affects the date of Easter. Using a

formula of the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox (more

accurately using a table from the Council of Nicea) Easter falls between March 22

and April 25th. Most of us just ask, “When is Easter this year?” and someone or

some calendar will provide the date. Your printed or calendar program will also tell

you when to begin your 40 days of fasting and repenting, excluding Sundays, of

course, for the season of Lent. Or, perhaps when does Lent begin is not your

question at all. Perhaps you are more interested in Mardi Gras celebrations,

Valentine’s day or the timing of school spring break. And don’t forget the income

tax filing deadline. Our calendars are full of tasks, deadline and appointments.

Yet, the season of Lent is an opportunity for something other than manic activity.

Rather than just another day for the business of daily life, instead Lent offers a

chance to stop, reflect and ask yourself some important questions such as, “Am I

living my life or is my life living me?” or “Where is God in all this?” It’s a time to

think about something other than self-gratification. The season of Lent offers a time

to think, evaluate, respond to God more fully, be a blessing to someone else. Please

take a look at the information in this newsletter about our book study, Jesus is the

Question and the opportunities for learning and sharing in a small group. During

midweek worship at 7:00 pm our themes will include questions of compassion,

doubt, community, healing and the reach of love. This is a season to consider what

matters enough to shape the way you live.

THIS IS THE QUESTION:

Devotions in real time, Wednesdays at 7 pm

On Wednesday nights during Lent, our devotions

and study will merge in a 30 minute event streamed

live and recorded for viewing during the following

week, accessible through links on the Redeemer

website.

Each week will focus on a different theme with

a variety of music and readings, culminating in an

opportunity for those gathered in the room to

participate in an activity related to the theme.

With music from the Redeemer Choir, Canticum

Novum, Bar Church, and a variety of instrumentalists

and soloists, these events should provoke creative

thinking and discussion throughout the week, but

especially for those who gather to worship together

each Wednesday night at 7pm

Lent begins with ASH WEDNESDAY, February 10. Lent signals more than a change of seasons; it signals a change of heart. We acknowledge the passage from death into life, and we recognize that we are truly dust as we receive the ashes of Lent at noon and 7 pm services.

T H I S L E N T , T H E G R E A T Q U E S T I O N E R

Lent is a penitential time in the church year where we remember the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness tempted by Satan and preparing for his ministry. During lent we focus on repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is also a time to ask questions and explore our faith. Redeemer’s Lenten theme is The Great Questioner. Together we look at the questions that Jesus asked and maybe the ones we have asked ourselves. We encourage you to join a small group. We will read and discuss the book, Jesus is the Question by Martin B. Copenhaver.

Wednesday Evenings During Lent

Children’s Lent Activity

The congregational Home Altar project continues. During Advent, we made home altars with a cross and paraments (altar clothes) for different seasons of the church year. Lent continues this project with a a candle and paraments for remaining church year seasons. Join the creativity in Sims Atrium during Lent. Donations of felt squares and votive-sized candles are welcome and can be dropped off in room 121 thoughout the Lenten season.

The Last Supper is Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in all four of the Gospels. The

evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, he gathered them together to eat, tell them he

knew what was coming and wash their feet (a gesture symbolizing that all were equal under the eyes of

the Lord). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples explicit instructions on how to eat and

drink in the future, in remembrance of him. It was the first celebration of the Eucharist.

The last supper is a

mural painting

painted from 1495

to 1498 on the back

wall of the dining

hall at the

Dominican convent

of Sta Maria delle

Grazie in Italy.

What Does “Maundy” Mean?

Derived from the Latin word mandatum, meaning "commandment," Maundy refers to the commands Jesus gave his disciples at the Last Supper: to love with humility by serving one another and to remember his sacrifice.

Maundy Thursday is observed during Holy Week on the Thursday before Easter. Also referred to as "Holy Thursday" or "Great Thursday" in some Christian denominations, Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified. In contrast to joyful Easter celebrations when Christians worship their resurrected Savior, Maundy Thursday services are typically more solemn occasions, marked by the shadow of Jesus' betrayal.

MAKING SENSE OF HOLY WEEK

THE THREE DAYS The Service of the Three Days is actually a series of services that recall Jesus' death and resurrection. The service begins on Maundy Thursday (March 24) when we celebrate the institution of Holy Communion at the Last Supper and ends with the stripping of the altar, representing Jesus' arrest. We continue on Good Friday (March 25) with a midday reflection on Jesus' last words from the cross and a choral tenebrae service in the evening, featuring music from Handel's Messiah. The service culminates on Saturday night in the Easter Vigil (March 26) which begins in the dark and includes the restoration of the altar in preparation for Easter Sunday (March 27).

An Austere time of reflection and intercession, but is also a time of adoration of Christ, the

sacrificial Lamb of God. Austerity is combined with a note of triumph, as we celebrate the

Lord’s Passion through music and scripture.

Member Care mutuality: How Can I Thank You Enough?

A thank you card designed by Patience Brewster shows a leaf, drawn with human features, standing opposite

an acorn similarly drawn with a face, arms and legs. Affection and gratitude are obvious on both the face of

the leaf and the face of the acorn as they gaze at each other.

The simple sentiment inside the care reads: How can I

thank you enough? But who is speaking, the acorn or the

leaf? Who is indebted to whom?

Member Care at Redeemer is the mutual giving and receiv-

ing between all members. One who is hospitalized, going

through difficult circumstances, is grieving, or coping with

disease receives the prayers, cards, care of a Stephen Minis-

ter, a phone call, a visit, Holy Communion, a meal delivered,

or a supportive hug from another sister or brother in Christ.

All of us who make up this body of Christ at Lutheran

Church of the Redeemer are called to respond and make

Christ’s love visible. On behalf of those who have received

support I’m often asked to express gratitude to those who

responded to a need. Yet who is the more blessed, the one

who receives care or the one who gives care?

In the seasons of Lent and Easter be attentive to those around you. Make a call or send a note to someone missing from church. Be ready with an encouraging word for our

young families, express appreciation to our faithful elders who have served this congregation so well. Be ready to say

yes to a pastor’s request to take a meal to another. And then notice how your heart says, “How can I thank you enough for this opportunity to be of service and to come to know you?”

Pastor Mary Peters

Faith Stepping Stones is a ministry where families and the church partner to live out the promises made the day of their child’s baptism. Baptismal promises don’t end with baptism, and Faith Stepping Stones are a resource to families and the congregation to continue in the journey of nurturing faith. Each grade of Sunday School has its own special Faith Stepping Stone throughout the year, and classes take many forms. Some classes are for kids and parents together, some take a one-day retreat format, and others have separate child and parent classes held simultaneously. Be sure to watch for special recognition of these milestones during worship in the coming months.

February Emphasis Month for Redeeming G.R.A.C.E.

Redeeming G.R.A.C.E. (Galvanizing Resources Against Child Exploitation) asks for your support! Our goal is to bring awareness about the dark truths of domestic child sex trafficking to our church and to our community in an effort to end this tragedy. The mission is two-fold: to minister to the child victims (ages 12 to 17) who are enrolled in Wellspring Living’s restorative residential program and to support legislation geared towards eradicating child sex trafficking in Georgia. Here are ways you can be a part of our efforts this month: Visit our display in Sims Atrium for more information about our ministry and our accomplishments to

date and learn how you can help. Serve as advocates! On February 11, Redeeming G.R.A.C.E will be part of Lobby Day at the Capitol, an

opportunity to stand with other community members, advocates, and elected officials to show support for legislation protecting children from Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, as well as a time to thank our legislators for their hard work and commitment toward the issue. A key issue this year is voter ratification of Senate Resolution 7 during the November 2016 General Election. The purpose of this ratification is to enable the Safe Harbor legislation from last session, ensuring that services and support are provided for child victims of sex trafficking in Georgia - furthering the principle that children are victims and should not be charged and treated as criminals. You can register at http://www.streetgrace.org/lobbyday/

Shop and/or donate at a Wellspring Treasures store. Proceeds support Wellspring Living. Stores are located in Atlanta, Peachtree City, Duluth, and a new one is opening at the end of January in Marietta. Visit https://wellspringliving.org/retail/ for store locations.

Contact our co-chairs Katy Hurley hurleykaty@yahoo.com or Amy Carpenter amy.carpenter@comcast.net for more information about volunteer opportunities at Wellspring Living.

Uncomfortable Challenges Create Strong Changes

The Redeemer Refugee Team visited Po, Day, and the boys delivering Christmas gifts and one-of-a-kind Redeemer made ornaments!

Dear Members and Friends of Redeemer,

The six members of the Senior Pastor Call Committee were chosen by ecclesiastical ballot by the

Congregation Council in early December and were installed at the 11:00 worship on Sunday, December 20,

2015. The Call Committee will be chaired by me, Lew Engle, and the five other members are Diane Cur-

rence, Bob Gibeling, Mary Howle, Derek Peterson, and Cassie Smith.

We have had the opportunity to meet first with Pastor Dave, then with the Congregation Council

at their annual January Retreat, as well as with Michelle Angalet, who is the Executive Assistant to Bishop

Julian Gordy of the Southeastern Synod, ELCA. Ms. Angalet provided the Call Committee with a detailed

overview of our process to search for Redeemer’s next Senior Pastor.

The Call Committee would first like to assure the Congregation that we have no preconceived no-

tions about who should receive this important pastoral call. Ours will be a nationwide search. We were

reminded by Ms. Angalet that our primary focus in this endeavor must be to know “Who we are and

who we are called to be in our community.” Together with the Congregation, that will be the Call Com-

mittee’s guiding mission with the help of the Holy Spirit.

The first task of the Call Committee is to complete a “Ministry Site Profile “(MSP) document.

After the MSP is approved by the Congregation Council, it is submitted to Bishop Gordy and the search

process begins. The MSP is a 12-page document that encapsulates who Redeemer is as a Body of Christ,

what ministry Redeemer is called to do by God in this community, and correspondingly what gifts we

seek in a Senior Pastor to fulfill this ministry.

To prepare the MSP, the Call Committee will need input from the Congregation. The more Redeemer members who participate, the stronger the MSP will be. To that end, the Call Committee and Congregation Council will first host Listening Posts to give all members an opportunity to share their thoughts with us. After we hold the Listening Posts, the Call Committee will distribute a survey to solicit further input from the Con-gregation. Additionally, the Call Committee has an email address to which you may send your feedback at any time throughout the call process. The email address is: SeniorPastorCallCommittee@gmail.com.

Once the Call Committee selects a candidate, he or she will be presented to the Congregation

Council for their approval prior to a vote of the Congregation to extend a call.

Please take advantage of the opportunities we will provide to give us your input. Also, keep the

Call Committee in your prayers as we complete this work on behalf of Redeemer.

Faithfully,

Lew Engle
