Let anyone with ears to hear listen!

Luke 14.35b

Zions Prayer Garden is an important part of our worshiping community, isnt it? With all of the beautifultrees, flowers and the new gazebo, we have a place of quiet contemplation or just a nice place to eat

lunch! When was the last time you took a walk through our prayer garden? It may be too cold lately for

some of us, but a walk through our garden just may help keep things in perspective.Starting at the beginning of this year, each newsletter has brought us a story from a different person in the congrega-tion. Each person has told and those in the future newsletters will tell us something about God through their own per-

spective. Its good for us to hear so many different perspectives! During Lent, we have heard from different people inthe mid-week worship and those presentations have helped to strengthen our faith in God. But, my question this monthis a bit different. What would keep us from hearing from someone who is not a person per se? It sounds odd, but

you know me, I look for God to be up to something in lots of different ways! What if we asked the Zions prayer gardento tell its story; what would we hear?

Right now, the garden seems to be sleeping. Just like our Lenten journey, the garden looks inwardly and almost seemslifeless. But, the garden and the original meaning of Lent tell us that our perspective may need to be broadened! Lent

means growth; the garden is secretly growing! The trees are bare, weeds are at a minimum and growth has slowed.Our perception of sleep couldnt be farther from the truth. I always say that the garden in winter reminds us of our own

spiritual need to look inward and to ask questions like: what is God up to in me? Where do I encounter God? How am Ichanging, evolving, and forming my mind into the mind of Christ, as St. Paul tells us in Philippians chapter 2? The sapis still moving, albeit slowly, within the trees. If you take the time to look closely, you can see the new buds formingnew buds that remind us that God is not ever finished, no matter how slowly the changes of life take place. In a fewshort weeks, with higher temperatures, the garden will resurrect just as our Lord did on the third day!

Then, there are the large stones on which have been inscribed the names of so many of the saints of Zions community(those who have died and those who continue their pilgrimage on earth). As you read the names, the stories and imag-

es, like beloved videos play in your mind. You remember past time and eternity the moments that you have sharedwith loved ones, family and friends. So many stories, so many struggles, so much faith has formed this community likethe very stones that populate the prayer garden. So many crosses can be remembered through their stories; and so

many resurrection stories as well!

Prayer Garden. Memorial Garden. Both of the names have been used, and they each tell a story of their own. This is a

holy place where many have brought forth prayers to God. Here in this place, we do remember and honor and appreci-ate and grow together.

If the Zions Prayer Garden could speak with words audible for us to hear, I think she would sing the words of thePsalms that ring out the beauty and sanctity of Gods creation. But wait, I think the garden is speaking, just not in away in which we are accustomed. Let anyone with ears to hear listen!

Listen to God speaking to us through the songs of the birds, through the beauty of creation, even through the unwant-ed weed at our feet. Listen to God at work within you! Listen as Jesus calls your name to live the resurrected life!

Peace,

Pr Tim

DEACON SUPPORT TEAM

Included in the last few months Trumpets were articles about your deacons. If you were notaware of your deacon, do you now know her or him? We hope you have a sincere interest ingetting to know your deacon as a present and future friend and confidant. Our Pastor is thebest resource with whom to discuss questions and concerns, but your deacon can also serve

you in a similar way.Deacons are not exempt from having a deacon of their own. At times we need someone willing to lis-

ten and we turn to our deacon.As mentioned the last several months, deacons meet bi-monthly to discuss a variety of topics, but

more importantly we are available for you when your needs might require someone to talk with other thanPastor Tim occasionally.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the members of Zions Lutheran Church and we encourageyou to reach out to your deacon whenever the need arises.

If you are unsure about your deacon, please call the church office for assistance.Dick Anderson


OFFERING ENVELOPES

Please assist the counters and church secretary in accurately recording your tithes andofferings by using your assigned numbered offering envelopes. If you did not receivea box of envelopes, and would like to have one, please stop by the church office or youmay ask Treasurer, Gwen Anderson for a box. Please do not use the designated

World Relief envelopes forregularofferings as that may cause confusion and inaccura-cies in our remittances to World Relief and on your annual contribution statements.
