Love is in the air. Each year on Valentine’s Day, we remember – Hallmark reminds us constantly so we can’t forget – to tell our loved ones that we love them. How do you express your love for someone else? Some people tell their spouse or significant other “I love you” every day, and even many times during the day. Others speak their love less often. Many express love by the things they do for those they love, and never once say, “I love you.” There is an old Ole and Lena joke about love: Lena says to Ole, “You never tell me you love me. Wives like to hear those words now and then.” Ole’s response is simple. “I told you on our wedding day that I love you. If that changes, I’ll let you know.” Valentine’s Day is quickly followed by Ash Wednesday this year. How has God expressed God’s love for us? Who would have ever thought it would be by dying on a cross? Does God express God’s love daily? In so many words? Maybe yes, maybe no. New words are not coming from Jesus to us directly, but they do come. We read them in Scripture; we hear them in sermons; we hear them when we remind each other that we are not alone. We feel them in the water in the font, and we taste them in the bread and wine. We expect God’s love when we pray for ourselves or our loved ones. We intuit God’s love when we struggle to make decisions. We offer God’s love to those who do not know Jesus’ kind of love. And once in a while, we know that God has spoken to us in ways that logical folks would think are crazy. God’s words come to us in a thought that is more than our thought. They come to us in an image, a vision, that is more than just our image. We know without a doubt that God has spoken love to us. Tell your loved ones often that you love them. Tell them also that Jesus loves them, no matter what.

Love is in the air. Each year on

Valentine’s Day, we remember –

Hallmark reminds us constantly so

we can’t forget – to tell our loved

ones that we love them.

How do you express your love for

someone else? Some people tell their

spouse or significant other “I love

you” every day, and even many

times during the day. Others speak

their love less often. Many express

love by the things they do for those

they love, and never once say, “I love

you.”

There is an old Ole and Lena joke

about love: Lena says to Ole, “You

never tell me you love me. Wives like

to hear those words now and then.”

Ole’s response is simple. “I told you

on our wedding day that I love you.

If that changes, I’ll let you know.”

Valentine’s Day is quickly followed

by Ash Wednesday this year. How

has God expressed God’s love for us?

Who would have ever thought it

would be by dying on a cross? Does

God express God’s love daily? In so

many words? Maybe yes, maybe no.

New words are not coming from

Jesus to us directly, but they do

come.

We read them in Scripture; we hear

them in sermons; we hear them

when we remind each other that we

are not alone. We feel them in the

water in the font, and we taste them

in the bread and wine.

We expect God’s love when we pray

for ourselves or our loved ones. We

intuit God’s love when we struggle to

make decisions. We offer God’s love to

those who do not know Jesus’ kind of

love.

And once in a while, we know that

God has spoken to us in ways that

logical folks would think are crazy.

God’s words come to us in a thought

that is more than our thought. They

come to us in an image, a vision, that

is more than just our image. We know

without a doubt that God has spoken

love to us.

Tell your loved ones often that you

love them. Tell them also that Jesus

loves them, no matter what.

Ash Wednesday is

February 18. Join us for

worship at 7pm as we

together confess our

sinfulness and our need for

God’s forgiveness. Ashes

will be distributed, and

Holy Communion will be

served.

Lenten Mid-Week Worship

7pm Wednesdays Feb 25,

Mar 4, 11, 18, and 25.

Theme: Great

Expectations: a drama for

4-8 actors

Vacationers Hope and

Chase are much like their

names: Hope, a true

optimist, wants nothing

more than to meet her

dream Messiah. Chase is a

skeptic. The unfolding

events of Holy Week meet

them right where they are,

yet challenge their

assumptions.

Sign up to play a role on the

sheet in the narthex. See

Barb for a copy of the script.

Family Activities Committee

will coordinate soup suppers,

which will begin at

5:45pm. Sign up to bring a

pot of soup. We usually need

3-4 pots each week.

Valentine’s Day Party Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, it makes

sense to have a party. So, we’ll have one, from 3pm -5pm on

February 14. This leaves time for more adult activities in the

evening.

The youth have agreed to be the DJs for us, with music from

the 1940s to the 2010s, Big Band to Rock to Disco to, well,

maybe not Hip-hop. We’ll pay the youth to play our songs, so we

can send them to Motown for the Youth Gathering this summer

and on other local adventures.

For those couples who so desire, there will be an opportunity for

renewal of wedding vows led by Pastor Lynn.

The refreshments will be pot-luck appetizers and sweets, so

get out your cookbooks and your party hats and join us for

an afternoon of fun.

Thanks for making 2014 a special year

at Hope. We raised enough money in our

yard sale in July to ship the Operation

Child Boxes. We recently found out that

some of those boxes were delivered to

children in India. What a blessing to

CRITICS CORNER

When the British Burned the

Whitehouse

The 1814 Invasion of Washington

By Peter Snow.

This book is written from a British

perspective. Unfortunately it is slow

moving with a lot of characters and

somewhat hard to get into, now having

written that I must admit of not

knowing too much about the War of

1812. I’m just amazed that at some of

the ineptness (on both sides) that we

didn’t go back to being a British colony.

Thank goodness James Madison was

president. If you enjoy American

history you will enjoy this book. 365

pages.

You are welcome to join the Critics

Corner by submitting an article or a

recent movie for the newsletter.

From the Library

Recently the Pastor spoke in a sermon

about the ways God speaks to us. How

about from the books in Hope's

Library? There are 2 copies of "A

History of Israel" in the Library, and

the news coverage at this time makes it

timely to read about the beginning of

this small country. The message of the

Old Testament is related to historical

events, a knowledge of Israel's history

is essential to its proper understanding.

Israel's religion is a controlling factor in

her history. This book should be

especially interesting to those who have

studied in the Wisdom Seekers classes.

gratitude.

Hello to all,

When you look around our church you will see that the outside has been painted which was long overdue. We also plan to paint the outside of Luther Hall and the Sunday school. We are able to do this

because of donations made to our church improvement fund. We are also going to paint the inside of Luther Hall

and put up a new ceiling. Once again do-nations have been made to allow us to

do the work which was not in our budget. If you donate through your improvement fund envelopes we could even paint our storage buildings, barbeque building and

the band stand building.

We are now trying to obtain bids to repair the roof leaks and remove a very large

dead pine tree. We also need to remove an oak tree to improve the view of the

new sign that will be installed.

Please remember that your donations to the building fund will help us to keep our church and grounds in good condition.

I also want to thank all those people who helped to keep our property in good con-

dition and below our 2014 budget.

Blessings to all!

I’m Overwhelmed Did You Ever Wonder….?

In honor of Martin Luther’s February

18th birthday did you ever wonder about

his most famous song A mighty fortress

is our God? It is based on Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, a very

present help in trouble.

Martin was born in an area of Germany

known for its music. He grew up

listening to his mother sing. As a young

lad he joined a boys’ choir that sang at

weddings and funerals. He became

proficient with the flute (recorder) and

his volcanic emotions often erupted in

song. When the Protestant Reformation

began, Luther determined to restore

worship to the German Church. He

worked with skilled musicians to create

new music for Christians, to be sung in

the vernacular. He helped revive

congregational singing and wrote a

number of hymns.

In a forward of a book, Luther once

wrote: “ Next to the Word of God, the

noble art of music is the greatest

treasure in the world. It controls our

thought, minds, hearts, and spirits”

I’M OVERWHELMED

Yes, that is the only way to describe the

outpouring of concern, prayers, cards,

and phone calls that I have received

from the congregation regarding my two

shoulder surgeries. Thank you, thank

you, and thank you again. Your love and

concern is heartwarming.
