Worshiping
I once knew a man who had a pet caterpillar. Now, I would agree that having a pet caterpillar
is odd, but this man was quite fond of the little guy. He had a little box where the caterpillar
would hang out all day, and at night he would come out and snuggle on the guy’s lap. Now
my friend, as you might guess, was a very faithful church goer and we really wanted his pet to
go along with him. One day he stood next to the box and called out, “Little caterpillar, I am
going to church this morning, would you like to come with me?” No response. Disappointed,
but not beaten he waited about five minutes and tried again; “Little caterpillar, the music will
be great and the preacher is really good!” No response. Another 10 minutes goes by and he
tries one last time; “Come on little guy, go to church with me.” Out of the box he heard; “Give
me a minute will ya, I am putting my shoes on!”
Caterpillars are not much to look at and they inch along in life with their legs working
feverishly just to go a couple of inches. Last September, you may recall, we had hoards of the
little guys crawling around the streets of Chandler. USA Today even did a story on the
plethora of the sixteen-legged creatures. Children were creeped out or fascinated, and adults
just tried to avoid them.
Of course we know that caterpillars do not stay caterpillars. They hide out in a cocoon to
emerge 4 weeks later as a beautiful butterfly! No more crawling around the ground, now they
flit and fly through the air. Scientists tell us that in the 4 weeks in the cocoon the caterpillar
completely breaks down into nothing more than mush and then it is reorganized as a
butterfly. It doesn’t die in the cocoon, in fact they say it retains its memory. It enters as a
caterpillar and emerges as a butterfly.
This month Christians will celebrate Easter; the day that Jesus, the Son of God, rose from the
dead. After being in a tomb for three days, He emerges alive and well. The bible then teaches
us; “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as
Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
(Romans 6:4) What we celebrate at Easter is that we went into the tomb with Jesus, just as a
caterpillar enters a cocoon. We emerge from that tomb a new person, a changed person,
much like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. We enter as sinners and emerge as saints. We
enter without hope for the future, and emerge with the certainty of an eternity in heaven.
So why don’t you get your shoes on and go to church this Sunday….caterpillars are welcomed
there.
In Christ,

Spring Retreat:
Compassion Fatigue Retreat: Tuesday, April 28th, 6:30p.m. to 9:30p.m. at The Pathway
Center. Join us for this unique retreat with other sisters in Christ at Risen Savior including your
leadership team and ministry volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and
growing together. All women, members, guests and friends are invited!
In this very important and interactive workshop, you will learn that self care is not self
indulgent, it is Biblical and it is necessary. Discover practical tools for self care so that you can
serve from a place of abundance, health, and wellness in 2015. Compassion Fatigue is a very
real phenomenon that often occurs to caregivers as well as those in ministry. Serving, caring
for, and giving to others day in and day out is very taxing and can take its toll on the mind,
heart, body and spirit. It can result in secondary trauma, fatigue, and burnout where we no
longer experience joy in service and can tax all of the systems of the body.
The reality is that we cannot pour out from an empty cup…nor were we meant to. Jennifer
Louden said, “Self-care is not selfish or self-indulgent. We cannot nurture others from a dry
well. We need to take care of our own needs first, then we can give from our surplus, our
abundance.” Scripture commands us to “love our neighbor as ourself.” In order to truly love
and care for others, we have to fill our own well through self care activities so that we can
pour out from our abundance and truly love others AS we love ourself.
To rsvp or to receive weekly devotions and encouragement, please reach out to Annie Wolf at

morning nursery helpers at Risen Savior. Thank you for all you do at
Risen Savior.
Volunteers
IF NOT ME THEN YOU, IF NOT YOU THEN WHO? Have you ever thought about what it takes
for a worship service to happen? Besides those that are hired to bring us God’s word, each
service needs at least 25 volunteers and that does not count the Choir, Musicians or Sunday
School. These positions are done while you are attending church service and take little to no
extra time from you. Please search your hearts and if you are physically able, consider helping
with Altar Guild, Greeter, Usher, Reader or Communion Server. You can contact the church
office at 480-895-6782 or sign up through Sign Up Genius at www.signupgenius.com.
The Perfect Place
The Perfect Place is an Adult Day Care and a nonprofit
organization located on the west side of the campus of
the Risen Savior Lutheran Church in Sun Lakes. Here, a
loved one may spend a morning or an afternoon with the
staff and volunteers who provide a loving and caring
social program. The program opens with a short
devotion after which everyone shares something about
themselves: where they grew up, what they did for a
living, family life or favorite activities. Then the fun
continues through the day with laughter playing cards, bingo, a bean bag toss, entertainment,
snacks and a short session of chair exercises.
Volunteers are welcome. If you believe your family or a caregiver would benefit from this
service contact The Perfect Place. Call Judy Waltersdorf at 480-895-2892, or send an email to
[email protected]. The Perfect Place is located at 23914 S. Alma School
Road, Sun Lakes, AZ 85248. We are open 4 days a week: Monday 9-12 and 1-4, Tuesday 1-4,

everyone to see the results of working together to help others in the Chandler community. In
Risen Savior Lutheran Church

2014, Risen Savior’s Spring Drive collected 3.6 tons of food which was enough to feed over
5,000 people. Also, we received $1,000 in checks from the church, our members and many
friends in Sun Lakes. All of the proceeds were forwarded to Chandler Christian Community
Center, the parent of the Chandler Food Bank.
The food bank’s greatest needs are for cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, canned
fruit/vegetables/meat, canned and dry beans, rice, pasta, tomato sauce, macaroni and cheese,
juice, boxed meals, cooking oil, salt, flour, sugar, canned soup and canned milk. To donate
food, enter the Risen Savior parking lot from Alma School and drive straight ahead until you
see the food collection boxes on the patio directly ahead (west). The collection boxes will be
emptied daily.

LCEF
The True Value of Your Investment
A Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) investment
represents more than a monetary “net worth”. It
represents a desire to empower ministries to build God’s
kingdom. The value of the investment to your family is not
in the balance, but in the fact that you support ministries,
schools and church workers. As you periodically review
your beneficiary designations, tell those you name why
LCEF is special to you. If you need to designate a
beneficiary, go to lcef.org. Your family will know exactly what you wished for your
investments after your passing and avoid possible probate proceedings. Find out more at
lcef.org or call 1-800-843-5233.
Active Duty Military Personnel
We would like to acknowledge and pray for all active duty military personnel associated with
RSLCS. Please contact us on the prayer request line [email protected], on a pew card or by
phone with their names. Cards will be sent if you include an address. First names are now
posted in the display case outside to the left of the narthex.

families who have members serving in the Armed Forces during any period of war or
hostilities the United States may be engaged in for the duration of such hostilities.

Risen Savior Monthly Financial Review
You may notice that the following looks a little different than what is typically published in the
newsletter. There are a few reasons for the change.
1. We have had requests from congregants to publish summary level information with
more narrative about the operations. The information below is our first pass at
developing that format.
2. The Risen Savior newsletter is available on the rslcs.org website and we would like to
limit the quantity and type of information made available to the general public.
The following detailed reports are available to members and attendees of Risen Savior
Lutheran Church. Please contact Susan Mello, our Business Manager, to receive this

their diligence and generosity in supporting the ministries of Risen Savior Lutheran
Church.
Early Learning Center (ELC) income is up 6% over the past few months. This is primarily
due to an increase in Full Day tuition and additional enrollment.
