Easter—Everybody’s Day!

Easter is that miraculous event upon which our lives of faith are built! Already

we find ourselves half way through the preparatory season of Lent. We are learning

something from the voice of St. Paul and the preaching of five local pastors who do their

best to help us awaken to God’s promise that God is alive, and helping us “bear fruit”

in our the middle of our days! We have to believe that what we do matters unto forever.

Easter is about eternal truths.

But Easter is about daily truth and daily living, too. I can write that Easter morning is a time to ponder

new beginnings. It is a time to trust that our weekly confessions of failure and fear are met with the Grand

promise of forgiveness! Forgiveness is that ultimate “reboot” that we all need!

I think we are headed toward a March 27th

, Easter celebration of Forgiveness like none other:

Our many youth have already begun to plan a 7:00 a.m. Easter Sunrise service that lifts up the truth that

“Forgiveness = New Beginnings.” Skits, and prayers and mini-sermons are being written for this

festive, the Son is Rising service. Guitars and trumpets both!

Then, around 8:00 a.m., a hearty Easter breakfast served by the Senior High and Confirmation Youth

and parents. (they wouldn’t mind some help with 20 egg bakes required! Sign-ups will go up in early

March). Your breakfast donations will help many of these youth go to bible and servant camps this

summer.

And then at 9:30 a.m. we will pack our sanctuary to hear the good news that Jesus is risen from the

grave…that as Christ lives, so too shall we live in the kingdom to come.

Now, who else needs to ponder the great power of God who promises all of us a Newness that can

only come as a gift? Who else needs this Easter morning?

At this past February’s Crossroads Conference, “Chili with the Bishop” event, our Bishop David

Zellmer passionately called the members of South Dakota congregations to find our voices of invitation. He

said, “The days of folks just deciding to dress up on a Sunday morning and go and walk into a church to see if

they like a congregation or not are over. In the 1950’s, you built a church building and people joined. Now,

more than ever, people crave a life of faith, but they need inviting.”

I would ask the members of Beaver Valley to humbly invite the “people of peace” in your very midst

who just need someone to say, “If you don’t have plans for Easter morning, I would enjoy your company at

Easter worship and at the breakfast table afterwards.” One just never knows. Sometimes people will even

surprise themselves and say, “You know, I haven’t gone to church in years. I would love to go with you and

see if Easter can be my day again.”

Those would be good words to hear, because new beginnings are for everyone.

Blessings,

Pastor Greg Johnson

-YOUTH ALIVE!!--

Our Sunday School program is really up and running as we now

look ahead to the Easter Season. All families should be mindful of

the special March 20th

, Palm Sunday Worship service. All of our

kids will be involved in the opening of worship—palm branches and

larger than normal children’s sermon at the opening—then Faith

Family Style Sunday School to follow for everyone after worship! The kids will go home with little

flower pots full of seeds to water and watch into April and May!

We are going to try something new! Starting on Sunday, March 6, we’re going to put an offering

basket at the front on the front steps of the church, so that are children can in yet another way feel

involved in Sunday worship

Our eleven confirmation youth are busy this Lenten Season. They went on the

Inspiration Hills bible camp Youth Retreat (along with Sr. High youth) on Feb. 21

with Pastor Greg, Derek Hanson, Winston Loman and Amanda Petrik as adult

advisors. They did great work with the topic of “Forgiveness,” and then had fun in

the huge game room! They served, along with the Senior High, the Lenten supper

on Wednesday, Feb. 24th

. Thanks everyone for making great Tacos!

The Lenten worship unit, “Bearing Fruit” continues into Holy Week. Easter papers will be due

by class time on April 6th

. The confirmation class will be helping put on the Easter Sunrise worship

and breakfast on March 27th

.

Senior High

Senior High youth continue to meet on Sunday mornings after worship.

They are planning:

Easter Sunrise Service with breakfast to follow.

Summer Trip - allow for some group building, retreat time all on a budget

and in a time frame that even kids who have summer jobs can participate in.

A Game Night (invite another youth group?) yet this winter.

and groove, shake and shimmy and learn about God through music.” Each week students will

get to play with a new musical instrument and learn memory Bible Verses, along with other

new and traditional songs. Sing n' Sprout is an 8 week class, which will meet at two different

times on Thursdays at Beaver Valley. It is for children 6 months to five years in age. The cost

of the class is $40 for first child and $35 for any additional children. For more information please call or text

and our little sprouts!

On Sunday, March 13 the second PLG, the HOPE group, will be asked to meet at 10:50 a.m. They will look

out over April, May and June of 2016 and consider the life of our parish. Leaders will be asked to step forward

to be the contact person(s) when parish life events and needs arise or are formulated by the group themselves.

At this meeting we will make sure that we have good contact information within the group itself. We will make

sure that every household within that group during that three month period of time is specifically invited into

the joyous, often servant work of Beaver Valley. Below, the names of households in the new HOPE Parish Life

Group are listed.

“Beaver Valley Alive!”—Update

“Beaver Valley Alive,” a capital campaign in recognition of Beaver Valley Lutheran’s 150th

Anniversary, was presented at this year’s Annual Meeting. The response that I received, along with church

council members, was overwhelmingly positive.

The next step in consideration of whether or not to formally approve this three-phase, $100,000 capital

campaign happens at the church council’s retreat on February 28th

. If the church council members are willing to

provide substantial material and spiritual support for this campaign, then a date will be set for a complete

presentation of the proposal to the congregation for its approval yet this late-winter.

Your continued prayers over the ministry goals of our congregation are much needed.

Blessings,

Pastor Greg Johnson

was attended by 66 people and a good time was

had by all.

Pastor Greg’s Report:

February is proving to be a very busy month with important and different ministry events happening. I have

been busy with:

Welcoming Cathy Roberts into the flow of the office. She is a wonderful, new addition to the daily life

of our parish. She is catching on fast and doing good work.

Worship planning and sermon writing is taking some serious time! I am happy with the Lenten Round

Robin preaching series: “Bearing Fruit.” Having five pastors involved I trust will be a good thing for

our parish as we get to hear the broader voice of the church as we work with the teachings that come to

us through the book of Colossians.

I am looking forward to the February 21st, Confirmation/Senior High Youth Mini-retreat at

Inspiration Hills Bible Camp.

I look forward to the beginning of new member classes (Tuesday, Feb 23rd

) and continue to reach out to

prospective new members and, when possible, make home visits.

I am hopeful that the Feb 13th

“Celebrating Love” night will help us grow further in our understanding

of the importance of fellowship and hospitality. A nice mix of long-time and new members and even a

few guests will add to the meaning of the night.

I have found few congregations that have done anything formal with developing new wedding

guidelines for their parishes in light of the recent Supreme Court decisions.

I hope that we can have our congregation represented at the upcoming “Chili with the Bishop” event on

Thursday, Feb 18th

, at 5:30 pm at St John’s Lutheran in Sioux Falls ( I will be there for the first hour and

then get out to BV for the women’s Gather Bible Study).

I intend to attend the March 29-30th

SD Synod Pastor’s Conference in Brookings.

I ask for Sunday, April 17th

as a vacation Sunday. I will find pulpit supply for this Holy Communion

Sunday. Possibly, Jess from Table of Grace in Harrisburg, the new startup Lutheran/Presbyterian

church

Planning a Council retreat on Feb 28th

.

MMSC: Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Janet Andersen and seconded by Doris Phillips.

Motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

Georgia Backer, Council President

Your help is needed!

Beaver Valley delivers meals to Brandon community shut-ins

during the months of March and August. During these months,

we are in need of people to help deliver these meals. The meals

are picked up at Split Rock Towers on Teakwood about 11:50

am. The manager needs to be buzzed so you can get into the

Towers to get the red and blue bags from the kitchen. Then they

are exchanged for new ones from the driver. There is a list of

names and their addresses with directions on how to get to the

houses.

First deliver the meals within the Towers and then deliver the

rest of the meals. Depending upon the number of people receiv-

ing meals, it takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour to deliver them.

It is a very rewarding experience and families with children may want to consider making it

a family service project before school starts. Please sign up to help on the bulletin board by the

church office.

Beaver Valley’s month to deliver Meals-on-Wheels is MARCH 2016. If you would like to help

with this great service in Brandon, a sign up calendar will be posted by the church office. It only

takes about an hour at noon to deliver the meals, and this is a great opportunity to help others!
