The Quantity and Quality of Revitalization
Most of my free-time lately has been invested in my
doctoral studies at Luther Seminary. I am studying
the Congregational Vitality Pathway, the Covenant’s
revitalization materials that we have followed at
Bethlehem Covenant Church. My research project
aims to benefit the congregation, conference, and
denomination as we all try to figure out how churches experience new life in Christ. I am just over 200
pages in my dissertation. Now, I must finish my research project. I’m writing to ask for your help to
complete the final step.
Even Jesus did ministry research. A large crowd followed Jesus to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
Jesus tells his disciples to feed the hungry people.
Someone does a quick head count and discovers that
there are five thousand people. Philip crunches the
numbers and gives a quantitative analysis of the situation. “Six months’ wages would not buy enough
bread for each of them to get a little” (John 6:7). Andrew does an in depth qualitative interview with a
little boy to discover the contents of his lunchbox.
“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and
two fish. But what are they among so many people?” (John 6:9). The numbers tell one story but the
qualitative data tell another. Jesus commanded everyone to sit down while he broke bread and gave
thanks. Everyone ate until they were stuffed. John
concludes the story by giving an accounting of the
leftovers. “So they gathered them up, and from the
fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who
had eaten, they filled twelve baskets” (John 6:13).
When we participate in the purposes of God the outcome baffles our mundane expectations.
We can’t possibly understand the feeding of the five
thousand without the quantitative and qualitative data. Our knowledge is enhanced by combining statistical data and the reminiscences of the participants.
1
The biblical rationale for using this method is that
God wants us to pay attention to what he is doing in
the world. Combining quantitative and qualitative
data is an effective way to evaluate both the scope of
the matter and our own response to God’s blessings.
In October and November of 2013 I convened three
focus groups to discuss the Congregational Vitality
Pathway at Bethlehem Covenant Church. The conversation was extraordinarily helpful for my doctoral
studies. The participants helped me understand how
the revitalization effort has been received by the congregation. I used those qualitative conversations to
create a quantitative survey for the rest of the church.
This month I will be conducting a survey of active
members to discern the impact of the Congregational
Vitality Pathway at Bethlehem Covenant Church.
Any member who attends worship at least five times
a year will be, for the purposes of this study, defined
as an “active member.” I will randomly select just
over half of the congregation to participate in the
study. If you find an envelope in your church mailbox on April 6th please fill in the survey and quickly
return it to the office. The questionnaire only takes
about seven minutes to complete. If you haven’t
picked up the survey by Easter (April 20th) the questionnaire will be sent to your home. In that case,
please fill out the form and send it back to church in
the self-addressed stamped envelope. You do not
have to participate, but please take the time to do
so. Every returned survey makes the research stronger.
Thanks for all your support during my studies. The
marathon is almost over. I just need some help taking
the final steps.

Would You Like To Be Refreshed?
Check out our own church library! It has been freshened recently so you can find things easily. Over
75 additional books have been processed in the last few months. Thank you to those who contributed
good books, among them our own authors, Linda Solie—”Take Care of your Emotions,” Phil Johnson—”Funny Stuff in the Bible,” Jay Phelan’s book on eschatology (the end times). In the Biography Section there is a good book, “Blown for God” (behind the iron curtain of Scientology) and
“God’s Call” by Brother Andrew, God’s smuggler. There are probably a dozen or more new fiction
books donated by Shirley Norman.
Grace provided the popular Swedish mystery writers, Mankell and Sjowall/Wahloo books, of which
there are at least ten. There are many new inspirational books such as “Experiencing God” by
Blackaby & King (how to live the full adventure of knowing and doing the will of God). There are
books about history and cultures; Thomas Cahill wrote “Sailing the Wine Dark Sea” (why the Greeks
matter) which is a great book. We have some important authors not to mention 37 refreshed
(popular!) Value Tales books for children. “I Want to Enjoy My Children” by Brandt/Skinner and
“Parenting with Scripture” by Durbin—both look like special books for parenting. Another great secret is that we have at least ten good DVDs. Take time to read our books. We have some of the best;
they might be life-changing or at least refreshing

Sunday, April 27th at 9:30am
Retiring council members have been busy
working to recruit persons to serve on the
Council as Commission Leaders. These
names will be presented for approval at the
Congregational Meeting the last Sunday in
April.
Commission Reports will be ready to distribute that Sunday as well. These reports
will be available to everyone and can be
mailed to you if you call the office and
make your request known. If you are new
since last April, this is the document that
will introduce you to the inner workings of
Bethlehem and will give you an idea of who
does what.
Please plan to attend this important meeting
during the Sunday School hour.

The Library Police are Policing
We want to find a red,
hard-cover book,
published in 1935.
It is gone but not forgotten:
The Fiftieth Anniversary of the
Evangelical Covenant Church in America
Good detective work seems to indicate that one
of us has re-homed this book against Library
Policy and sound judgment.
So our fearsome police are looking for you—
whoever and wherever you might be. All the
usual penalties will be suspended if you will
simply bring the book into the church office.
We really would like to have this one returned
to us. Take a duster to your book shelves this
spring and find our book—please.
A Good Story
I’m not quick to admit it because there’s a perception out there that people who are cultured or intelligent
shouldn’t like television, but the truth is that I love good TV. Some will say that over the last 10 years
we’ve entered a new “Golden Age” of television drama. One of the trends of TV over the last decade has
been the return of serial television, shows with an unfolding plot that occurs in sequence, spanning many
episodes (as opposed to “episodic” TV shows where the plot is introduced and resolved in 60 minutes or
less). Serial TV has made way for stories that are large in scope and addictive in nature. It may not seem
very highbrow, but as a parent of two young kids, its a lot easier to squeeze in an hour of TV here or there
than to get out to concerts, plays, or movies with any kind of frequency.
Over the last months we’ve been going through John’s Gospel in a kind of “serial” fashion. Each week, the
story of Jesus Christ has unfolded and the drama of salvation has been playing out before us in our Bible
Studies, Sunday Schools, and in our Sunday Worship. We are approaching the climax of the Gospel Story:
the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, traditionally called Christ’s Passion. In her essay “The Greatest Drama Ever Staged,” novelist Dorothy Sayers describes the Christian story this way, “So that is the outline of the official story – the tale of the time when God was the underdog and got beaten, when He submitted to the conditions He had laid down and became a man like the men He had made, the men He had made
broke him and killed Him. This is the dogma we find so dull – this terrifying drama of which God is the
victim and hero.”
For most of Christian History, theologians have tried to reduce the Gospel to a series of propositions about
God and humanity. The Gospel has been treated like a science that can be deduced, formalized, and systematized. The problem with such a treatment is that very little of the Bible is written in a systematized theological way. The Bible is a narrative, and the more we read and hear that narrative, the more it will shape
our lives. We read the story, we tell the story, and we live the story.
Once again, we’ll be telling this all important chapter of the story at Palm Sunday this year with our annual
reader’s theater of the Passion. We’ll have two services at 8:30 and 11am to enact Jesus' triumphal entry
into Jerusalem and a dramatic retelling of events that would lead to his death. If you are interested in being
a reader for the Story of the Passion, please let me know (rehearsal will be Wednesday, April 9th at
7:30pm. The story continues at 7pm on Maundy Thursday, as we remember his final meal with his disciples with communion and hand washing. At 7pm on Good Friday we will have a “Tenebrae” service,
where light and shadow will be used alongside scripture readings of Jesus’ final hours on earth. Then, the
great celebration of resurrection takes place at both 8:30 and 11am Easter Sunday.
Many people without church homes will be looking for a place to celebrate Easter this year. I encourage
you to invite your friends to come and experience this greatest drama ever staged. May the story of God’s
love in Christ transform our lives and the lives of our neighbors, to live the adventure of death and life that
is better than anything on TV.
Peace,
Pastor Matt

Easter Offerings
We have a “triune” opportunity.
Call the church office to order flowers to decorate the sanctuary on Easter morning. Affordable options are available.
The flowers are yours to take home following worship.
There are also pink forms available in the bulletins for ordering. The deadline is Friday A pril 11th.
Designate a donation to Community Emergency Services.
When we gather cash, those dollars go much further than
what we can do through our limited purchasing power at the
grocery stores. (Also see the pink form in the bulletin.)
Consider an extra offering for Easter Sunday, April 20th—
just a bit beyond your tithe or usual contribution.
SEMINAR: “THE MARRIAGE INTIMACY HIERARCHY”
Sunday, April 27th in Fellowship Hall
12:30-1:00 pm: Lunch served by the Youth Group (donation)
1:00-2:15 pm: Seminar
Linda Solie, Bethlehem member and author of recently released, Take Charge of Y our Emotions: Seven Steps to Overcoming Depression, Anxiety, and Anger, will present a seminar entitled "The Marital
Intimacy Hierarchy." Drawing on her decades of counseling couples, Linda developed “The Marital
Intimacy Hierarchy” to help husbands and wives more fully enjoy each other. She will share these
very practical ideas on how couples can experience greater intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy in their marriages. Whether you are single, recently married, or have been married
for years, please join us for this seminar exploring how to foster and enjoy a healthy marriage.
Linda earned a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and is a licensed psychologist who began her
practice as a hospital staff psychologist, working with children and adults. In private practice for more
than two decades, she has provided marriage and family counseling for nearly thirty years, serving as
the primary marriage counselor for executives at a major Twin Cities corporation for seven years.
There is no cost for this seminar (except for a donation to the Youth Group for your lunch).
PLEASE DO REGISTER for the Seminar. A fairly close count will help us reproduce enough
handouts without harvesting a half-acre forest to feed our recycling bin. Clip the form below.

An Invitation from Your Friends at Crosstown Covenant Church
Saturday, April 5th
9:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Crosstown participants were very blessed by your gracious hospitality at our combined ministry gathering on Saturday, January 11th. It was our joy to pray with you, to learn about the background of our Bhutanese and Nepali neighbors from Pastor Ryan and Pastor Kishor, and to
share ideas for more effective outreach. In turn, the Missions Commission at Crosstown is excited to extend a special invitation for all of you to join us on Saturday, April 5th from 9:00 to
11:30 a.m. at Crosstown, located at 5540 30th Avenue South.
When we met together in January, there was a common refrain: We need to learn more about
Hinduism and ways to be better equipped to share salvation in Jesus Christ, the One True God.
Thus, we have invited Dr. Mark Anderson, a missionary with Barnabas International and an
expert in his field, to share his knowledge with us at a special seminar. Mark and his wife Sarah
hail from Wheaton, IL and travel extensively, edifying, encouraging and strengthening other
global servants in ministry. By reputation and demonstrated power, he is also in the trenches
of spiritual warfare. As we walk in the light of Christ’s love, we can be sure that the ire of the
enemy is aroused. Mark’s teaching will provide an opportunity for us to be better equipped for
effective ministry to those with a polytheistic worldview.
God has given both our congregations marvelous opportunities to serve our new friends in a
variety of ways. We are grateful to Linda Leonard for helping Crosstown make meaningful connections at our All Church Night every Wednesday. In March, several of the children from Hindu families raised their hands to express their desire to receive God’s great gift in Jesus. We are
now in the process of following up to ensure appropriate understanding for their ages. One
thing is true: hearts are being softened by His love – ours included. Please continue to pray!
Kathy Anderson, Missions Deacon
Dine With Nine
Those who signed up to attend Dine With Nine will be contacted very soon and be given a host’s name and address.

church office if you signed up and have not received a
phone call with attendance information by Thursday, April
3. (The deadline to sign up was Sunday, March 30)

Wednesday Morning Plans for our Bhutanese Friends
April 16th (9:30 to Noon)
May 14th (9:30 to Noon)
We will make a mess!!! It is our understanding that the Nepalese love to dye
eggs—and that is precisely the plan.
Come to the kitchen and bring along an
apron and as many eggs as you can
hard boil and transport. We’ll do
“fancy” ones too. Bring dye and supplies. (Vinegar provided.)
Linda Leonard has asked to show a film
in the Hindi language. She is hoping that
most of us can be present with our guests
as they watch this movie unfold. It is the
Christian message in appropriate format
and the hope is that we will be present as
a very visible show of love and support—
especially when it is realized that the film
is not understandable to us.
Fun for all of us.

Do you sense the change in the air? We are - along with most Minnesotans - anticipating spring’s arrival. I’m sure there will be a collective sigh from the preschool staff when they are able to announce to
the children that it’s time to go outside and every child can go directly to the door. There will be no
need for snow pants, heavy coats with the zippers too close to the knees for little ones to zipper, mittens, hats nor boots. If you have not worked with 3, 4 & 5 year olds to get ready for a winter adventure
I don’t think you can imagine the persistent practice and great deal of patience it takes to get 20 children ready for outside time!
As March wraps up, the center will be hosting an all school potluck on March 20. Each year families
come together to spend time with their child’s playmates and families. The place is always busy that
night but so much fun for our community to gather. This year we have 14 school age children performing in a talent show as well as a puppeteer who will be providing entertainment for children as they finish their meal. Our fundraiser for World Vision kicks off with a silent auction at the potluck. We’re
excited for the auction as we have a variety of donations.
Spring Break lends itself nicely to some much needed downtime at the center. Families can choose to
take the week off, change their schedule for the week, or keep things the same. The staff is also given
the option to work more hours, fewer hours, or take time off. The change in the schedules is a nice
way to put other children and staff together compared to our typical routine. The school age children
will be going to High Point Print Making, Minneapolis Institute of Art -including the Matisse exhibit-,
as well as the Great River Water Park. The preschoolers will be attending a few of their own field
trips. They will visit the Children’s Museum as well as go along with the school agers to the Great
River Water Park.
Staff will soon begin talking about Easter. We welcome your prayers as we share more about the love
that Jesus gives to each of us and the amazing plan God put in place to show that love. We pray that
the children attending BCCC experience that love while they are with us and have thoughts planted that
will keep them curious enough throughout their growing years to wonder, desire, and seek the wonderful love of Jesus.
This is the time of the year when we shift some of our focus towards summer. Summer registration
will be online again and I plan to have it open the last week of March. I’ll have the link on our website.
The staff is already preparing some guiding themes and activities for the change of pace that summer
brings. We are always looking for new field trip ideas; if you have any unique ones please pass them
on to us.
Thank You,
