With tomorrow marking the 23rd anniversary of the assasination of Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, the flowers gracing the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of the member of U.S. and British armed forces who have lost their lives this week. Let us pray for the families who mourn them.

$ Collection & Health Kits for Iraqi Children
The consistory asks that you assist us in a special collection for the children of Iraq during this Lenten season. Coin boxes for this purpose will be distributed to you next week. Please consider assembling at least two Health kits that will also be sent to Iraqi families during this time of war. The kits and coin boxes will be collected as our gift of new life at the Easter Sunday Service.

Thanks to everyone for coming to support Rita and her family during their time of grief and for giving Albert a great sendoff. Let's continue to not only keep Rita in prayer but to show tangible signs of our care - cards, phone calls, invitations to dinner, etc...

Coming soon...

A
spendthrift lover is the Lord
Who never counts the cost
Or asks if heaven can afford
To woo a world that's lost.
Our lover tosses coins of gold
Across the midnight skies
And stokes the sun against the cold
To warm us when we rise.

Still more is spent in blood and tears
To win the human heart,
To overcome the violent fears
That drive the world apart.
Behold the bruised and thorn-crowned face
Of one who bears our scars
And empties out the wealth of grace
That's hinted by the stars.

How shall we love this heart-strong God
Who gives us ev'rything,
Whose ways to us are strange and odd,
What can we give or bring?
Acceptance of the matchless gift
Is gift enough to give.
The very act will shake and shift
The way we love and live.

Thomas H. Troeger
