ELCA BARNYARD SUNDAY
The goats, pig, sheep and chickens will be back at CLC March 9th so make sure you bring the kids to see the wonderful petting zoo full of animals. With a world Hunger emphasis we will be accepting donations for The Global Barnyard project. A Cow $500, Fish $250, Sheep $125, Goat $50, Pig $30, Duck $20 and Chicks $10. Donations will be taken from March 9th h to April 13th. The Global Barnyard project is a successful way to empower local villages villagers (primarily women) in the African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia. The purpose is to provide families with a livelihood and vehicle to climb out of poverty and feed their families. The goats often considered the “poor women’s cow,” are particularly adaptable to this purpose because they are: Able to survive by eating drought-resistant shrubs and grasses. Have babies often and throughout the year. They produce highly nutritious and easily digested milk, do not need much space and are easily handled. Local people from the villages apply for an opportunity to attend animal husbandry classes on ELCA sponsored cooperative farms located in their respective countries. There they learn how to care for the animals. A team of ELCA relief workers determine how many animals each village can
support in terms of grazing land and water. The women are then given a starter herd. As the goats multiply, the villager increases her herd and percentage of the babies are given back to the cooperative to provide the animals needed to continue the program. In addition the animal husbandry classes also act as trainers and mentors for new people in their villages who wish to become goat herders. What a great ministry to be a part of so easily by purchasing the animals! Just stick a check in the offering plate and mark it Barnyard project or goats. We also have envelopes in the Narthex.
Military Ministry Flower Bullbs Spring is almost here, and time to start thinking about planting flowers. Just in time, the Military Ministry will be taking orders for flower bulbs in the Narthex every weekend from March 1/2 through April 5/6. All packages are $7 each, and half will go back to the Military Ministry. Among the many choices in plants that will be available are hanging begonia & hanging strawberry gardens, Freesia mix, Spectacular Gladiolus, Stargazer Lilies, Mini Amaryllis, and many others. Stop by to get a jump-start on your spring planting and help the Military Ministry at the same time! Thank you for supporting the Military Ministry at CLC!
Thank You! The CLC Military Ministry would like to thank everyone who made generous contributions for the goody bags. We delivered the first set of bags for Project Sanctuary and will be providing bags 3 more times before the end of the year. Thank you for your support of the CLC Military Ministry.

Pastor Tom’s Message Lenten Journey + Lenten Spirituality To be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with Lent. Ok maybe hate is too harsh but for sure it is a like – dislike relationship. Lent in my past has been oppressive with “What are you going to give up for Lent?” kind of questions. Then there were those soup-suppers that drew fewer and fewer people each year where we pretended to be like the poor and starving masses around the world. You know, like “There are starving children in China!” statements to which any half intelligent child would think and maybe have been brave enough to ask, “How does it help them for me to be hungry?” Ok, yea, we might become more aware of hunger out there but unless the corollary lesson along with action comes out of it, what changes? Lent is more work, an added service to prepare for and attend. For sure we give up free time, what little free time there is in any of our lives. Then, if we get scraps of scriptures and ideas that are difficult to put together we come out maybe more confused and unwilling to admit it, then we do enlightened and making sense of it all, including how it connects to our everyday life. So I dislike this and more about Lent! HOWEVER, and that is a big however, there is the other side of the same coin, the love – like, upbeat of Lent. Starting with a meal prepared for us, a different theme each week we break the fasting and instead fellowship together, then worship together, to strengthen both body and mind in our fellowship – sacred gathering place which hopefully leads us to greater things that do make a difference in the world. For example our offerings for Lent this year will be divided between Pueblo de Dios’ Cash For Crops program in Compton California and Colorado Flood Victims Relief work. Who is not moved by the sacred light of a candle kept from previous Christmas Eve candlelight services placed in sand filled cross, as a prayer, a remembrance or thanksgiving to God? A simple act done quietly with soft sacred music in the background as we listen to the mystery of our souls within the mystery of God calling people to gather - worship and into a deeper spirituality of everyday life. Our Wednesday Lenten Liturgy is titled “Be Still and Know!” Then both before and after our Lenten worship of Journey and Spirituality there is the mentoring that goes on with an adult and young adult from confirmation. Everyone needs someone to walk with them on their path even if it is for just so long! I like this and more about Lent! So Lent isn’t that bad after all, or hard. In fact I feel a need for it a desire for that special time and emphasis on deeper spirituality! How about you? We hope to have a new and special decoration of our sanctuary for the Season of Lent and Easter. Come and see, come and experience, come and grow, blossom and bear spiritual fruits this Lent and Easter! Many Blessings + See you in Worship + Pastor Tom +
Lent 2014 at CLC: “Invitation To Prayer” Join us for a study of prayer in our lives during Lent this year with “Invitation To Prayer!” Beginning with Ash Wednesday and continuing at weekend worship services, we will explore the petitions of “The Lord’s Prayer.” During our Wednesday Lent midweek services, we will dig into the major themes of “The Lord’s Prayer” and how they relate to our world and lives today, and we will also learn how these themes connect to other prayers. It promises to be an exciting journey to Easter… join us!

Pastor DJ’s Message Minecraft as Ministry Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 (NRSV) I have a colleague around the Columbus, OH area who told me the story of a member who often was a shut-in during the winter months. The weather was usually too perilous for her to venture outside, so she remained indoors for the entire season, getting help from those around her for grocery or medical needs. In one particularly long winter season, he stopped at her house to visit. Upon the shift in conversation to the weather, she remarked, “I can’t believe winter isn’t finished yet.” Similarly, feeling the need to be rid of the cold, he agreed, making mention of how difficult it was for him to get from place to place. Then she gave him a puzzled look, as if what he was saying was completely inconsistent with her opinions. Later, he would ask about her favorite part of spring (anticipating of course the ability to get back outside). She replied, “I love going out and sitting on my porch. That way, when the young people drive by with their windows rolled down, I can hear the music they are listening to.” A personal distaste of today’s music set aside from the moment, that woman is on to something. There are always language and age barriers between generations, but most often we consider the other person to be the one at fault. After all, we were the ones doing things this way first. There is, however, something to Paul’s words to whoever he was writing to in Rome that speaks of the nature of personal renewal in and among the culture. There is a warning that we adopt everything of a culture, and also an encouragement to engage with it. In doing this, with a bit of experience, we will be able to tell if something new bears fruit, or is incompatible with God’s will. We work against this, though, assuming our personal preferences to be in line with God’s. Anything we find distasteful we assume God would as well. I offer the possibility that God is more engaged with all kinds of art and entertainment and conversation than we could possibly find worthwhile, because God views the children of this world in a better light than we do (some may say we have adopted culture’s view of selfishness). My encouragement to you this day is to go find a young person and figure out what they are doing, and yearn to discover why that is important to them. You may just find God in the midst of that, but even if not you have built up a relationship, which always pleases God. Peace, Pastor DJ P.S. Do yourself a favor. Reread this article, but everywhere there is young, put elderly where there is new, put old, etc. Even cultural things that have been passed over hold something holy.

MARCH PRESCHOOL NEWS The weather has sure been interesting all around our Nation this year. And, Colorado is known to have more winter after March begins. Let’s hope that is not the case. We have come to conclusion that kids need to be outside as much as possible and see that sunshine! Thank you to everyone who participated in our Book fair! It is always so great to see so many faces come and visit. We appreciate the support. The school continues to register for fall classes and we cannot believe how fast time is moving. We will talk about the Lost Son and Washing Feet for Chapel this month and our Storyteller will visit as well. We love watching the children grow in Jesus. They are so much fun every day! We wish everyone a healthy Spring as we prepare for the arrival and a great Easter season as well.
