TRANSCRIPT
“Look Up!”
W hen I was a kid, I just loved astronomy, and like many my age, hoped to become an astro-naut. Well, that obviously didn’t work out, yet I still love to gaze up at the stars when I can, especially out in the country during the warm summer nights. I recently found out from a retired pastor named David Kupka that, in 1969, the Apollo 11 moon mission contained “messages from the heads of state engraved on a silicon disk about the size of a fifty-cent piece. As the political head of the Vatican, Pope Paul VI sent along the text of Psalm 8 which says in verse 3: ‘When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?’” Rev. Doctor Kupka noted “Psalm 8 is a stargazer psalm. Gazing at the night sky has a way of raising all the big questions: ‘Who am I? Who is God? What can I do with the few years I have to live on this earth?’” I can remember back in college where me and my ol’ buddy Richard would occasionally “celebrate” “insignificance” days, where we would try to think of just how vast not only was the world with over four billion people in it (then), but that we were a part of a solar system with eight other planets (then), in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is itself part of a local galaxy cluster, which itself was a part of a larger galaxy cluster, which itself was only a small part of the observable universe. I guess that Richard and my ultimate “address” could then be: “899 North Sixth Street, Hebron, Thayer County, Ne-braska, United States of America, Western Hemisphere, Earth, Solar System, Orion Arm, Milky Way Gal-axy, Local Group, Virgo Cluster, Laniakea Supercluster, Observable Universe, Universe (and maybe even multi-verse).” So, it’s easy to relate to the Psalmist when he waxes poetic about the heavens, the moon and the stars, and then from there, just like with me ‘n’ Richard saying “what are human beings that you are mindful of them?” But then we get the second half of Psalm 8: “Yet you have made [us] a little lower than God, and crowned [us] with glory and honor. 6 You have given [us] dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under [our] feet, 7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.” And that makes us think about it from the other way, too. We are many powers of ten larger than the smallest thing in the universe. Actually, I have a book that says that we are almost as many times bigger than the smallest things in the universe than we are smaller than the observable universe! In other words, we are almost half-way in size! So, if it wasn’t enough that we seem insignificant in size com-
pared to the universe, it is even more mind blowing that we are almost infinitely larger than the smallest things in the universe. So perhaps the only appropriate response when you really think about these things is sheer silence…

‘Sabbatical Thoughts’
Creativity, intuition, play, stillness—these are all terms you’ll see in the bulletins at worship this month. In our culture, they hold little value because they cannot be measured, they tend not to produce, and they don’t add to the economic welfare of a family or community. We have learned to value concrete things, certainty and reason, measurable things, production. We value being busy because time is money. We value work over play because there is something to show for what you’ve been doing. And in the end, we are a tired, angry, resentful, hurt group of people who don’t look forward to another day of the same old thing. In “The Gifts of Imperfection,” Dr. Brene Brown shares her own stories of being challenged by these things. It seems that as we learn to ‘adult,’ we lose the capacity for things like play and creativity. We look with cynicism at those who still know how to be silly and wonder what’s wrong with them. But I like the quote Dr. Brown shares in her final chapter about laughter and dancing: What one loves in childhood stays in the heart forever. (Mary Jo Putney) ~Pastor Tobi White

Lutheran Disaster Response - In late February and early March, a profusion of strong winds, tornadoes and flood waters ripped through the southeastern region of the United States. The impacts of the storm and flooding were so severe that on March 13, the state of Louisiana received federal disaster declaration. As of March 20th, we know that more than 18,000 people registered for FEMA assistance in Louisiana and that number is climbing. We know that this will be a long road to recovery. As survivors begin to pick up the pieces of their lives and strive for a new sense of normalcy, we will be there to assist through every phase of this disaster recovery pro-cess. Your gifts are needed to continue Lutheran Disaster Response’s relief efforts. Be a part of the response! Ways to Give: Checks or money orders should be sent to: Lutheran Disaster Response P.O. Box 1809 Merrifield, VA 22116 -8009 Write “U.S. Spring Storms” on your check memo line. Give by phone at 800-638-3522 or online.

The Mission Outreach Team continues to share oppor-tunities to support efforts that make our community a better place. Helping juveniles who have found them-selves in the legal system and adult offenders wanting to change their lives is the focus for the next few months. Drug Court is a voluntary program created by the Dis-trict Court in Lancaster County that allows eligible de-fendants to earn dismissal of charges in exchange for completing substance abuse treatment programs and other conditions. Drug Court is a proven model for ad-dressing substance abuse in a judicial environment with clear and specific expectations and goals. Drug Court is not an easy way out of jail or prison but requires a strong commitment from participants. Drug Court uses gift cards as an incentive for participants in the pro-gram. Some of the more popular cards are Marcus The-ater movie tickets, grocery stores, and Wal-Mart. Gen-erally amounts of $5, $10, $15 are requested. If you purchase cards through SCRIP, let them know they are for drug court participants and they will get to the ap-propriate place. Otherwise, they may be left in Jan’s box, or with Laura at the front desk. Juvenile Probation has made changes in recent years, encouraging rehabilitation as opposed to punishment for young offenders. Services are more accessible and families are engaged in the process. Efforts to support youth during early years give them a greater chance for a bright future. The local probation office asks for sim-ple snacks for kids who come to appointments and pro-grams after school and need nourishment. Juice boxes, crackers, bars, and fruit snacks would be appreciated. A box is located in the west hallway.

The Our Saviour's Bus, a 1981 International, fondly known at "Old Blue," needs to be replaced due to age and safety con-cerns. The bus is used weekly to transport FEAST partners from CCCL. As we have searched for a new bus, we know that if one comes available, we must have the money in hand or it is gone within days. The cost of the bus is between $12,000 - $15,000, and we are about half way there. With a newer bus, there is the possibility of using it for events other than trans-portation on Sunday morning. If you would like to make a do-nation to the bus fund, please indicate "OSL Bus", in the memo line of your check.
