President’s Post/Church Council News

 Spring is right around the corner. The Lord has blessed us with enough moisture in the mountains this winter for our farmers and ranchers to hopefully get 100% water year. I for one, am looking forward to the greening up of the yards and the fields. Spring represents the newness of life. Easter, which is in the spring also gives us a special time in the year to study and reflect on our humanity, His obedience, suffering, death and resurrection. This is the newness of life that is promised to us through Jesus Christ. March has four mid-week services with potlucks before the services. These services are present to help us step through the Lenten season. Since Ash Wednesday, please make a special effort to join St. John’s every Wednesday this month for the 7:00 PM service and 6:00 PM potluck. Fellowship is not only something to enjoy but is a necessity for a church to function as a Church. I grew up Lutheran, but my dad did not do fellowship. I learned the importance of it here in Fallon. Thanks to every person that helped Sylvia and I feel comfortable in doing so.

March 28 is spring cleanup day. Keep an eye and an ear open for the church clean up sign up list. The new Clean up and task sheet will be on the bulletin board soon. Please feel free to sign up. Many hands make for little work.

Something to think about: 

    Our Father in heaven knows all and controls all. Imagine, a tree seed sprouts and a small seedling starts growing with God-given nutrients, watering seasons, and the Son. Year after year this tree reaches for the heavens. It’s girth and height increase in front of the whole world to see. The day comes and all the lush green leaves are stripped off, branches are taken away from the trunk, and the axe is swung to cut it down for it to be chiseled into the cross. Our Father in heaven, watched this tree grow day after day. Only He knew its purpose, which was to watch His Son, our Lord and Savior have steel nails hammered through His flesh into it and hang and die for the salvation of all mankind. What a Father we have!! His love for us is beyond anything we can comprehend. Jesus is the light of His LOVE.

OUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, give us voices raised to You, our almighty Deliverer. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
