Transcription of Congratulations! - Central Lutheran Church

1 1 Weekly TV Broadcast Mondays, 7:00 Charter Channel 986 Wednesdays, 5:00 HBC Channel 20 We are Central to Winona, disciples of Jesus living a vibrant faith. March 2018 259 W. Wabasha Winona, MN 55987 Congratulations! Central continues to improve and shine! I wish to ONCE MORE tell you how you are unique and healthy: Your worship has quality liturgical plan-ning. Your office is efficient, welcoming, and work well together. Your at-tendance is stable. You continue to receive new members even in transi-tion. You have moved forward in youth ministry in transition and you are continuing to evaluate, restructure, support and improve this ministry.

2 Your confirmation program is amazing. Your building and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. You are considerate and concerned for your pastor. You have two visitation pastors visiting the homebound and providing ser-vices at five local nursing facilities. Lay leadership, committees and con-gregational members are taking seriously the ministry of the Church , not leaving all decisions and work to the pastor and staff. Your finances, while not perfect are not bad either and you are growing your financial stewardship. Your Sunday School is vibrant and active. You have revitalized WELCA.

3 You open your doors to the arts, to Winona State, to community groups. You feed the community with the Feast on Wednesdays. You have a marvelous, hard-working, gifted staff. Thank You! March 4th will be my last day of preaching here at Central Lutheran Church . I have indeed loved my time here at Central , although my cat, Rahab is delighted to have only ONE more car ride home. Thank you for your support financially, emotionally, prayerfully and as we moved forward. You pro-vided all I needed. I am sorry I wasn t able to finish out the race, but I know you are close to a grand finish!

4 Blessings to you and your new pastor. May God richly bless and keep you. Call Committee Update Your call committee continues to work hard but works with a common purpose and consensus be-cause of your support and prayers. Since our last update we have received candidate names from the Synod and are in the midst of the interview process. Meanwhile we continue to meet at least weekly and often times twice a week as well as many-many emails between ourselves. Please con-tinue to pray for us. Please join us on March 4th, between Church services , to say good-bye to Pastor Jan!

Adult Forum: You Are the Way: Devotions for Lent 2018 Sun., Feb. 18 - March 25, 9:15 In the Gospel of John, Jesus describes himself with a series of I am statements: I am the light of the world, I am the good shepherd, I AM, and so on. Each week we will recap the reflection from the week and introduce the next week s statement. Join us for reflection and discussion of these statements as we go through this Lenten journey.

7 Mar. 5 & 19, 9:30 , Library We will be finishing Max Lucado's book "Grace" this month. We have been gaining a deeper understanding of grace- more than we deserve, greater than we imagine. In April we begin the book "The Great Spiritual Migration" by Brian McLaren. The book says the Christian story, from Genesis until now, is fundamentally about people on the move-outgrowing old, broken religious systems and embracing new, more redemptive ways of life. The Christian faith is not dying, rather it is embarking on a once-in-an-era spiritual shift. We would like to have you join us for discussion.

8 We will be ordering the books in the next 2 weeks and you may contact Gayle Garrity at for more information or to order a book. Prayers for Healing Sun., Mar., 18, 8:00 and 10:30 , worship services Prayers for healing are offered each third Sunday of the month in Holy Spirit Chapel (left) during com-munion.
