Reflection: The beauty of Holy Week is unfolding, the liturgies, solemn and terrifying, haunting and wonderful, full of sorrow and hope, hold us in the power and victory of God's
love. We love to tell the story, because we know it is true.

News:
Our gardens seeds, provided by "Plant a Row for the Hungry" are here at the church waiting for the snow to melt, like the rest of us!
Althea and Brad will be gone for two weeks, until April 20th. On April 22 she will supply at Trinity Lutheran in Lewiston in order to give Scott Jurgens an opportunity to be away. Either Tim or Brad will preach at Lamb of God.

News: The parking lot is a sheet of ice! There is a small lake between the stairs into the church and the beginning of the great ice sheet which used to be a parking lot.
The video for the sermon from March 4 disappeared when the camera battery ran out during the filming. Our apologies that we cannot share the Word with you from that Sunday.
Wednesday found the parking lot to be slipperier than Sunday! Stand at the top and you have to work hard not to just slide down, down, down.....
We are talking about a garden at the church this summer. Yippee!
And it was so good to be with Yvonne Phelps who came to pray with us on Wednesday. Her work with Priest River Ministries Advocates for Women is touching our lives. We hope to move forward together to serve those in need around us.

Reflections: Lent has begun. The church is dressed in purple and black. The gold cross on the altar has been exchanged for a simple wooden one, the first one used at Lamb of God. The little cut glass jar of ashes, rests on the edge of the baptismal font. We begin our Lenten disciplines with confession and prayer, bearing our foreheads the sign of the cross, reaching for deeper understandings of ourselves and our God. "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." "Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love." May this season lead us to a cleansing of our spirits, to the spring house-cleaning of our souls, to begin afresh. May Lent and this lengthening of days, which gives the season its name, lead us to garden in the dust we are, to the growth of beauty, deeds of mercy, and love of God and neighbor. The text for Ash Wednesday in Matthew ends, "do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where rust and moth consume and thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Lent continues. Mud is moving. Bulbs push up tips of green. We are growing, deepening. We are taking more time for prayer in our Sunday morning and Wednesday gatherings. There is a sense that we are being stirred, the breath of the wind is warm, and life stretches for Life. Baptism is a focus of this time. The season started because of the intense time of preparation for Baptism at the Easter Vigil in the early church. Catechumens, those preparing for Baptism, studied at the church daily. They fasted and they prayed. Can we see that Lent is about water, and cleansing, and new life? March rains touch us with the Lent we need to see, the way we need to be.
In our prayers:
Brenda, Jim and Gigi's neighbor who has suffered many serious complications following foot surgery.
Randy and Yvonne Phelps at the death of Randy's mother.
Bryce, Gigi Horning's son in California as he begins treatment for Leukemia
Gail Schuster and her health.
Mary Toutonghi and family after the death of her husband Mike.
Jim Horning for successful surgery.
For Lee's sister Marcia for healing.
For Shanna Ann as her birthday approaches on March 16.
