FROM THE PASTOR
“Grandpa”
My name is changing.
And it all happens at Easter. So, how cool is that? Two days after I stand before you and announce, “He is
Risen”….my son and future daughter in law will announce to me, “Dad, this is Brooklyn”.
My name is changing.
Let’s see….I started out 55 years ago with friends and family calling me, ‘Matty’. My mother (when provoked)
would occasionally say rather sternly, ‘Matthew Steven’. My teachers and professors called me ‘Matt’. My
name changed while I was in seminary. The church I served while in Florida called me, ‘Intern Matt’. The first
parish I served changed my name again….I have been called, ‘Pastor Matt’. The youth groups I have loved
throughout the years have enjoyed tagging me with their names, ‘Papa Smurf’, ‘King’, ‘P.M.!
My name is changing.
A little girl who we will joyously call, ‘Brooklyn’ will one day look into my eyes and say, “Grandpa”. Baby Villar
expected in June may say the name with a bit of a southern twang…but to be sure, I will be called, “Grandpa”.
It sounds a bit old, but it sounds wonderful.
My name is changing.
All those names...Matty, Matthew Steven, Matt, Intern Matt, Pastor Matt, Papa Smurf, King, PM…Grandpa…all
have brought a smile and a tear at times. However, there is no greater name that I cherish than the name our
Risen Lord Jesus has given me and has given you.
I am…His child. The Risen Christ walks away from death. He folds up the grave clothes. He rolls away the
stone. In our baptism, you and I are marked with the cross of Christ forever, sealed by the power of the Holy
Spirit.
I am a CHILD OF GOD.
My favorite Name. My peace. My assurance. One day, this Grandpa (and a man known by so many other
names) will run into the arms of our Savior, and He will call me by the name that has been mine since God
placed me in the arms of my mother….HIS CHILD…and all will be perfect.
Blessings this Easter!
Grandpa & Grandma Lash
WORSHIP
“I rejoice with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Psalm 122: 1)
Worship Life In March
We are ready for a COME-BACK! The word of the prophet Joel has encouraged each one of us, “Return to the
Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love!”. A recent
visitor to our parish told me she was encouraged to ‘come back’ to a regular worship life because of our
Lenten evenings and messages. Thanks be to God! May we continue to be faithful in our worship life. Draw
near to God in prayer, fellowship, sacrament and Word. May the Lord bless the upcoming Holy Week & Easter
celebration!

Lent invites you and me to return to the Lord. Is it time for your faith to make a ‘come back’? Trust in God to
adjust your heart and change your mind. The 10th Man, Keep your eyes on the coach. Join us on Wednesday
evening for prayer and inspirational worship.
A VERY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN
Among my greatest joys and privileges in parish
ministry is to share the good news of Jesus with
children. Recently, I have been wondering how a
child thinks about the events of Holy Week…the
ride into Jerusalem, the betrayal of Judas, the
denial of Peter, the last supper, the cross…..
Parents, please sign up for “Holy Week Through a
Child’s Eyes” on Tuesday, March 22. Beginning at
6:00 p.m. we will enjoy an informal pizza meal
with our children. I will lead an hour long
interactive walk through Holy week with your
children. We will conclude before 7:30 p.m. All
ages are invited. Parents are welcome and
encouraged to join the experience!
Lenten & Holy Week Volunteers There are many
opportunities to serve in our worship services
during this season of Lent and Holy week. We are
looking for volunteers to participate on Maundy
Thursday, Good Friday, and
Easter Sunday. Please give your
attention to the sign up posted
in the Gathering Space and plan
to serve! Thank you.
Friendship Pad---Please pass it
along! A great way to make a
new friend! Please share the
friendship pad each time you
worship! You may update your
address with our church office—or indicate a
prayer concern, or the desire for a pastoral visit.
Pass the pad! Thanks!

Sunday, April 3rd and part of Zion’s worship

February & March Thank You Offering
will support the ELCA World Hunger Appeal.
More than 800 million people — that’s 1 in 8 people in our world today — are hungry.
By providing immediate relief to those who are hungry, we meet basic
needs and recognize the universal human right to food. But ending
hunger is about more than food. By connecting people with the resources
they need to
produce food and gain access to clean water, education, health care and sources of income, long-term,
sustainable change can be accomplished.
Working through ELCA congregations, global companion churches, The Lutheran World Federation and other
partners like Bread for the World, Church World Service, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service and
Lutheran World Relief, the ELCA reaches more places more effectively than we could ever do alone. In
addition to funding relief and development projects that assist our sisters and brothers in need, we engage
members of the ELCA in education and advocacy to help change the systems that perpetuate poverty.
Through this comprehensive approach, we work to address hunger from all angles — both domestically and
globally.
Picked up 2016 Offering Envelopes?? Your
offering box may still be M.I.A.!!! Your box may be
in the church office. If you participate in ‘Simply
Giving’ we have boxes for you since there are
numerous times and dates that ‘Simply Giving’
does not provide an envelope. If you have not
picked up your offering box for 2016 or would like
a box for your contributions, please come to the
church office. We have brand new offering boxes
that are begging for a home and an enthusiastic
believer! Thank you so much!
Gifts of Appreciation
Dear Confirmation Friends
(especially Eric, Josh & Zach),
What a pleasant surprise
to receive your poster and notes.
The poster is hanging in the
living room of my son’s house
until I can take it home with me. It certainly has
lifted my spirits and I promise to “think positive,”
especially about this situation.
I do not know the exact date for
confirmation but my goal is to be there for your
“big” day Eric.
Zach, I like the way you wrote my name so
fancy. And, yes, I do know your mother well and
your father and Avery. You are a lovely family.
It is good to hear that you are so athletic
Josh. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and
prayers. I am looking forward to the day I sit in the
congregation with you again.
Special thanks to Pastor Matt too.
Fondly,
Joan Bierley
To my dear friends at C of C,
Thank you for all the cards, calls, and
prayers. Your encouragements have been very
comforting. Though progress is slow, l am hoping
to go home sometime next month.

Art History
Gathering Space Sculpture
This is an original piece created by Joe Boniface who has produced work for clients from coast to coast. Most
of the people of Lima know him as the former art instructor at Lima Shawnee High School for the past thirty
years. In his “real life”, however, Joe is owner of the Black Swamp Forge, Blacksmithing Studio, where he
creates sculptures and functional works; items such as interior and exterior sculptures, entry gates, railings,
tables, and a wide variety of specialty items. As a member of The Artist Blacksmith Association of North
America, Joe has conducted workshops for blacksmiths in many states from here to California.
For our particular piece, a number of preliminary sketches were made. Then work began with forming the
crosses of MDF then covering them with a heavy gauge copper that he textured to look like wood. All of the
other parts were personally hand forged by Joe from steel. It is fairly heavy so it is held in place by eight fourinch long bolts that are inserted all the way into the brick and concrete block beneath the wallboard. It is also
supported on a system that will allow it to be taken down (in four parts) when the wall needs painting again.
Notice: a fish (the earliest symbol of Christ), a tongue of flame, a symbol of the triune, Golgotha (the hill of
the crucifixion), the river (baptism), a circular nimbus (a kind of a halo), that the sharp angular shapes of the
nails and thorns give way to the soft shapes.
One of the first idea sketches (left) and Joe at work on
this piece (below).

THANK YOU FOR SERVING!!
Lectors: You will receive the readings a couple of days before the service.
Bulletin Assistants: Close the sanctuary doors at the beginning of the service. Count the number of people
in attendance (including Pastor, all worship volunteers, and all in the nursery) and mark this number inside
the kiosk.
Door Greeters: Greet members and visitors at doors of both entrances of the church.
If you are unable to serve at your
scheduled time, please replace yourself
and call the church office. Thank you!
