MAY News from Pastor Brenda...

Our steps are made firm by the Lord, when he delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24

The Psalmist writes this beautiful statement for us when times are a bit out of order, certainly, we need the strong steps of the Lord, and though we stumble, we shall not fall for the Lord holds us by the hand. These are comforting words in a time of turmoil and not peace, to know that God is holding our hands in these hard times. As we go forward to May we do so in gratitude to God for all of our blessings. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ we do so in confidence that he is with us. In confidence of his power, he holds and grants us as followers to witnesses to the entire world. What has changed since we have experienced the resurrection? What might the church do for our walk of faith? What might others need to know about our God and Savior? What is our way for peace and justice for all? What are our plans going forward to tell and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ? As the church continues in new normal and brings some of our old traditions in we give thanks for First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hinckley MN. Beginning Sunday, May 2, we will have coffee with a maximum of 25 people in the Fellowship hall. Women’s Bible study has begun on Tuesdays at 9:30 am and the Men’s Bible study is meeting on Thursdays at 7 am in May. May is going to be very exciting, with four kids making their confirmation on May 16 at the 9:30 service. They will read their Faith Statements on May 12, at our 6:30 worship service. This will be the last Wednesday Worship service for the summer break. Pentecost is on May 23 and we will celebrate with our graduates on May 30. All safety measures will be observed. We will continue to send out via US Mail or Email Directory our bulletin beginning in May per your request. Please let us know how you would like to receive this. Newsletters will continue once a month to everyone. You may listen to our services on Facebook, YouTube, in your car transmitted on the radio or in person worship with masks and social distancing. As we continue to trust in God, and remember he keeps his promises, our faith and hope are certain because of the resurrection.

Remember, the Lord holds us by the hand.

Peace, Pastor Brenda
