The stone walls of our seminary in St. Louis are decorated everywhere with little relief sculp-

tures and carvings. Each illustrates a passage of scripture or a scene from the Reformation,

EXCEPT…

Over one doorway is a surprising phrase, not from the Bible: Carpe Diem. Seize the Day.

This little phrase came to mind when I overheard two friends, one advising the other to take

advantage of a job offer. “Carpe Diem” he said. “Life is too short to worry about making the

wrong choice.”

Every Lent we spend forty or so days in repentance, reflecting that much of God’s world has

been perverted, emptied of meaning, or repurposed for evil. There is plenty we’d better say

“no” to—or it will affect us as well.

But Christians must never focus on Lent. Rather, we spend Lent focusing on the day that

God’s “YES!” thundered from heaven, broke open a tomb and brings a twisted world and

every creature in it from death to life.

Easter is the day God Himself has seized. It is THE DAY that makes all days good again.

Are you disappointed with Yesterday? Don’t be! God has seized that day, judged it, and with

the sunrise of Easter morning, transformed it to a new day of forgiveness and new life!

Remember Your Baptism—your own Easter morning when God gave You New Life in Jesus!

Are you frustrated with Today? Don’t be! This is the day the Lord has made new in Jesus’

resurrection! He walks with you, speaks to You and He is working out all things for good.

Stop and say a prayer. Hear His Word again in scripture!

Are you worried for Tomorrow? Don’t be—it may, after all, be the beginning of that everlast-

ing day when you awake with Jesus and see all things made new! At the very least, it will be

one day nearer.

Seize the day of Jesus Christ our Lord.

An Update from Young Life;

This has been an exciting school year for Young Life in Southeast Michigan. This fall, we started Young

Life Club in Addison. Club is like a party with a purpose, and the purpose is to share the story of Jesus

with high school kids who have never heard it before. It has been a huge success! We have averaged

between 40 and 60 kids coming out each week. We also have 10 to 15 kids coming to Campaigners

each week, which is our Bible Study for kids interested in learning more. We took a huge group to Fall

Weekend this past November at Camp Storer and are hoping to fill a bus for Summer Camp in Virginia

this June. Thank you for your support! Lutheran Church of the Lakes has been a major reason for

Young Life starting in Addison. Please pray for our leaders: John, Carrie, Jenna, Mitch, Jim, and Caleb.

That God would give them everything they need as they love kids. Thank you for your support!

In Christ,

- Jim Beach, Lenawee County Young Life Area Director

Palm Sunday March 20, 10:00AM

Palm Sunday (or Passion Sunday) is the gateway into Holy Week, the most important

week of the Church year. We see Jesus welcomed as messiah, and then capriciously

cast aside and crucified. As we hear the story of Jesus’ passion the most important

story ever told, we must consider the true source of our faith.

On this Palm Sunday we welcome our new members as they are

received into God’s Family at Lutheran Church of the Lakes.

A reception will follow the service.

PENTECOST ~ MAY 15, 2016

Forty days after Easter Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples, strengthening them to share

the good news of Jesus Christ to all those around them. We celebrate this amazing miracle on

Pentecost, which is sometimes called the birthday of the Christian Church. On this day, we

also celebrate the Rite of Confirmation.

The liturgical color for Pentecost is red. If you have something red, you are invited to wear it!

The word Maundy (pronounced mawn-dee) comes from the Latin word mandatum, which means “command.” The com-

mand that this holy day refers to is the one that Jesus gave to his disciples during the Last Supper: A new commandment I

give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another. By this everyone will know

that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34–35

Dear Partners in Mission,

Developments in Ghana and changes for me

(David) On November 7, 2015 the pastors of

the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana

(ELCG) met and established a 'roadmap' for

transitioning leadership of the church to the

next generation. Rev. Dr. Paul Fynn has served

as president of the church for a number of

decades and desires to retire. He also wisely

advises that the ELCG transitions into a new

leadership rather than simply make an abrupt change.

The 'roadmap' entails equipping and placing a senior

pastor to serve as 'Bishop' in each of Ghana's ten

geographic regions. These ten bishops will elect one

of the ten to serve as "Presiding Bishop" This pastor

will serve as the chairman of the bishops and repre-

sent the church on the national and international

levels. This model of leadership multiplies the num-

bers of people involved in leadership and assures that there is always someone who is concerned about

mission and ministry in every corner of the country.

To prepare and equip these senior pastors, the ELCG

desires that each of these men has the opportunity to

study at one of our LCMS seminaries (in Ft. Wayne

or St. Louis). In order to reduce the amount of time

(and expense) that these men would need to spend in

the USA, the seminary in Ft. Wayne has

advised that these men study Greek and a number of

other subjects in preparation for their studies in the

USA. (Four ELCG pastors have already had the chance

to study in the USA during the past few years.) In addi-

tion, the ELCG also seeks to gain accreditation for their

seminary in Accra. None of the LCMS related seminaries

in West Africa are able to offer their students recog-

nized credentials for all of their hard academic labors.

Accreditation for our seminaries has been a long time

goal of mine. The ELCG has requested help from the

LCMS to achieve accreditation. All of these develop-

ments lead to a different role for me. Rather than con-

tinuing to serve on an administrative level, I am getting

back into more 'hands-on' work. I will be working to

prepare the three pastors who have been identified as

possible candidates for further studies in the USA and

ultimately for service as 'Bishop'. I will also be involved in

helping the seminary through the accreditation process.

Someone else has been chosen to handle all of the LCMS

administrative responsibilities. May God grant that these developments serve to strengthen and expand the

church in Ghana! All of this means a lot of change for me

- a lot less travel, meetings and email and a lot more

time in the classroom. This change also means a lot of

possibilities for the church here in Ghana. We appreci-

ate your prayers for us and the church in Ghana as I

work through the adjustments and make these changes.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support! Your

partners in mission, David and Joyce

Rev. David & Joyce Erber

At MISSION U the focus is equipping you, God's chosen ambassador, to carry His message of

hope and salvation into a world urgently in need of good news.

One in four American teens and young adults claim no religious connection whatsoever. How

will they hear the message of salvation through Jesus Christ if no one reaches them? As a follow-

er of Jesus, you have been commissioned to make disciples of all nations. Become equipped

through MISSION U to help you fulfill your mission with boldness to the diverse mission field

around you. You and your church can gain a scripture-based understanding of how outreach

works in a culture that doesn't care about God. MISSION U mirrors a 21st-century university

classroom - sequential yet flexible courses. Using dynamic speakers at your venue, MISSION U

features outreach training workshops tailored to your specific church led by Christian leaders in

outreach, as well as free monthly webinars from Christian leaders and speakers about contempo-

rary topics in Christian outreach.

LCOL hopes to sponsor Mission U Webinars and events throughout 2016 or you can go to

From the Financial Ministry

The state of the church

It is a pleasure to serve you as president of the congregation. Just like in previous years, we have a good board this year dedicated to serving God, each other, the community. We add-ed a new ministry to the board - stewardship - headed by Mike Helf.

Our mortgage principle is down and the giving is up. Many of us are volunteering in all facets of our ministry. You are all welcome to attend the parish council meetings to observe the business of the

church. We normally meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the church library. Be sure to check the church calendar as sometimes extenuating circumstances may change the date.

If you have any questions or anything you would like to discuss, don't hesitate to contact me. Bill Langenderfer 517-547-5545

2015 Financial Review

General giving for 2015 was $298,530 or 94% of budget. Total expenses were

$317,441 or 96.5% of budget. While this by itself would give reason to be concerned, we were in good shape to absorb spending

$18,000 more than received. The notable

causes for the difference are as follows: 1 - The federal government eliminated a

health care credit that we have received in previous years. We did not receive $4430 that we expected to receive.

2 - We had a special need this year after the budget was created. We asked for your help to purchase new projectors at the cost of

approximately $16,000. You generously re-sponded and they are wonderful.

These two line items are the primary reason for the shortfall.

The church mortgage balance at the end of the

year was $237,085. This is down from approxi-mately $310,000 one year ago. At the current run rate, we should be mortgage free in ap-

proximately four years. 2016 for January

Even with cancelling services one Sunday in January, general giving is slightly ahead of last year. It is too soon to know if the pattern will

continue. Sometime before the end of the first quarter we will start to publish in the weekly connection how general giving is tracking com-

pared to budget and historical data since we are somewhat seasonal. Thank you for all of your support.

Mothers Day

May 8, 2016 8 ways to help aging parents

Empathize with your parents. Sometimes you might be taken aback by your par-

ents’ frustration, moody behavior or neediness. In fact, on some days, they might be

downright unpleasant to be around. But it’s important to be empathetic and under-

stand where they’re coming from. “Aging is a series of losses — loss of employment,

health and energy, friends, mobility, and independence.” Consider how you’d feel if

you were in their situation.

Call them regularly. The number one thing aging parents wanted from their kids

was simply to hear from them. Try setting a reminder on your phone to check in

with your parents and see how they’re doing.

Get other family involved. When helping your parents, don’t take on all the respon-

sibility yourself, unless you have to. Communication among family members also is

key when parents need financial help. “Sometimes siblings will help offset expenses

by giving your parents a little bit of money every month — they just need to know

what the financial need is in order to be able to make the decision to help.”

Seek out potential problems. Walk around your parents’ home, and scrutinize the

surroundings for any necessary repairs or changes. For instance, look out for uneven

flooring, handrails and well-lit hallways and stairs. Also, check if essential items are

within reach and emergency contact information is next to the phone. If something

major requires repair, find out if your state offers low-interest loans to seniors. Try

visiting senior care websites for more information.

Advocate for them. If your parent has an illness, make sure both of you have a good

grasp of what that means and what treatment entails. For instance, know the

medications they’re taking and when they’re supposed to be taken. If you’re accompa-

nying them to appointments, ask questions, and take notes.

Encourage them to be active. Many aging parents tend to be isolated, because they

stop driving, get tired easily or have hearing or vision loss. Helping parents stay both

socially and physically active. “Talk to them about their friends, senior groups, and

church or synagogue members. Find out what parks, the library, museums, nearby

universities, and community centers offer in the way of organized activities.” Physical

activity is key for improving mood, endurance, balance and strength and delaying

cognitive decline. For instance, aging parents can walk, or participate in exercise pro-

grams for seniors.

Help them downsize without being bossy. When helping your parents downsize,

don’t tell them what they should and shouldn’t keep or toss anything unless you have

their permission, she said. “Realize that your parents have many memories and treas-

ure things that remind them of relatives and happy events — these are specific to the

individual and just because you don’t see the value in certain items, doesn’t mean your

parent shares your view.”

Help them create a memory book. It’s common for seniors to experience short-

term memory problems. Reminiscing might help. Creating a scrapbook for your par-

ents, filled with photos and names of the people, places and pets from their past. If

you have time, work on the scrapbook together.

Contact your county area on aging agency for helpful resources and support .
