’ Noise Ordinance It is interesting and fun how the solemn tones of Lent get so suddenly splashed with the colors of Easter’s joy. These two church seasons have co-existed so close to each other for centuries, and they do reveal a sort of whiplash of emotions that we Christians go through in marking the somber, dutiful days of Lent, along with those accompanying careful observances of Holy Week when our emotions get triggered on multiple levels. But then, the lights come on, the stone is rolled away, and Easter morning greets us with an abundance of flowers, bright clothing, joyous faces, and somebody turns the amp level up to 11. There was a real-life story a few months back of a call made to the Swedish police to come see about a domestic disturbance. Some neighbors were concerned over the awful racket coming from a particular house on their street, where there was yelling, and crying, and all kinds of carrying on. Worried neighbors called for some sort of police intervention. When the police arrived, their own presence further added to the noise because they woke the baby, and the dog started barking, and it was all a huge racket. What was the source of all this breaking of the noise ordinance? The couple in the house were simply trying to put together a piece of furniture they had purchased from IKEA. The kind that comes with a build-it-yourself kit with one small Allen wrench and a bag full of screws that are invariably the wrong number of what is needed. In putting together their Bjorquart or Ingrimollnyrut (I don’t quite remember which item it actually was), their frustration levels rose so high that the noise became loud enough to surprise their neighbors. Well, good Christian friends, I hope and trust we don’t mind making a little noise ourselves. We tend to be pretty subdued as Lutherans – and that gets doubled as Midwestern Minnesotans – and are fairly laid back in our religious observances and rituals. Sometimes that relaxed and laidback approach could even be mistaken for apathy…or a spiritual coma. I mean, I don’t need for us to go crazy, right? There’s no need to push the boundaries of our own Chanhassen noise ordinances. But then again, I doubt that’s the danger. And I certainly don’t suggest making noise just for noisy-ness’ sake. But I would love to see us take ourselves up a notch in lifting our Easter spirits this month. We deserve it, and so, too, does our God. Let’s make sure that the Author of life and love and victory over death knows that we cherish being part of that great reality of love crucified, risen. We cherish being a part of the divine arc of creation and redemption, where we know we belong to the One who makes all things new, who breaks through our fears, who builds from the ashes, and who leads us to life — abundant life, joyful life, eternal life. As you read this, we are still on our Lenten journeys, but our steps are quickening. We are entering the familiar streets of Jerusalem and there will be palms, bread and wine, a somber Friday observance, and baptism by candlelight. Suddenly the lights will come on, and we get to sing out our praise at the top of our lungs. Maybe – just maybe – the neighbors will think we are a people who have something to celebrate around here!

Stewardship Corner In April, we have many exciting worship services as we conclude our Lenten themes and journey into Holy Week together. Then we celebrate Easter and the joyful season that follows. In these many worship services, we’ll have opportunities to make our offerings and gifts, which can truly strengthen us as we prepare for moving into the summer months of ministry. Ours is a church that doesn’t slow down. Sure, we change a few things up in the summer. But ministry continues to bounce along at top speed. Let us be generous in our giving of time and talent, because a giving church is a living church.

Strength for Your Journey of Grief & Loss Losing someone we love is one of life’s most challenging passages. Learning about the process of grief, along with sharing our experiences in a caring, supportive, and confidential setting, helps us to cope and leads to personal growth and healing.
