- Pastor Chris Singer

Many of you know that the Singers are huge Denver Broncos fans. Their recent victory in Super Bowl 50 meant that our home was filled with yelling, shouting, high-fives, fist pumping, and enjoying the victory!

March 2016 is going to be one of Celebration! We start to celebrate our commitments at a special worship service on March 6 for our “So They Can…” capital campaign. We will celebrate our unity of faith through the special fellowship that follows worship. We will celebrate the growth of God’s family as several children are baptized during our National Lutheran Schools Week. And we end the month with the most important celebration: Easter!

We hear the call to celebrate in 1 Corinthians 15:57:

“But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Easter is OUR victory! We are going to gather in God’s house for this incredible celebration. How can we keep silent? How can we not shout out loud, sing for joy, and enjoy this incredible win over sin, death and the power of the devil? This is the VICTORY FEAST of Jesus our Savior for all sinners!

Let’s lift a victory shout up to the LORD as we CELEBRATE God’s love and faithfulness to us through Jesus!

“Celebrate!”

Celebrate!

Sunday, March 20, 2016County bus will leave the FLC at 12:30 p.m.Advance ticket sales are $30 per ticketDinner to follow at Cleburne Cafeteria

Play description:A magical, musical, chim-chim-chiroo-sical. No sugar needed to help this musical go down. This “practically perfect” portrayal of Disney’s Mary Poppins treats audiences of all ages to the cherished story of a very special nanny. Armed with song, dance and trusty umbrella, Mary Poppins and her sooty sidekick, Bert, transform the unhappy world of a banker’s two children into a magical new fantasyland. Full of chimney sweeps, statues that come to life, and toys that think for themselves, this wondrous, Tony Award-winning musical soars to the highest height.

In a word? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

We have some shocking news. ‘God became a speck, an embryo in a fallopian tube!’ ‘God was born!’ ‘God lived as a friend of sinners.’ ‘God embraced dirty, smelly sinners!’ ‘God suffered for unlovable and un-loving sinners!’ ‘God died!’ ‘God rose again!’ ‘God wins!’ ‘Sin, death,

Satan defeated!’ ‘God reigns over all!’ That’s the most positive and powerful shocking For Life news I can think of.”
