and to Each Other!

A Lenten Journey
By Pastor Russ Sorensen
“Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice,
‘This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!’”
- Mark 9:7
The season of Lent, forty days plus Sundays, provides us with many opportunities
to grow in awareness of God’s presence and work in our midst. Awareness begins
with listening to Jesus and to each other. On Ash Wednesday we reflect on the
meaning of our baptism into Christ’s death and resurrection. The sign of ashes is a
reminder of our human mortality and the fragile nature of life. But instead of a
negative message, Lent is an invitation to move forward on a journey of spiritual
renewal, washed in God’s mercy and forgiveness!
Continued next page
Listening to Jesus … continued from previous page
I ESPECIALLY INVITE YOU to be involved in this new experience of listening to Jesus and to each other every day! Listening to Jesus in scripture, prayer and discernment reveals
our identity (who and whose we are). Listening to our
neighbors and our community reveals our context (The
Holy Spirit helps us to be sensitive to the needs of our mission setting). Listening to each other in our congregation
reveals our purpose in mission with other partners in ministry (how our gifts and abilities might help us share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our world).
IN ORDER TO PROVIDE opportunities for “Listening to Jesus
and to Each Other,” the Transition Team will offer three
sessions each week for conversation about St Luke’s Mission, Vision and Values expressed in the developing draft of
the Ministry Site Profile. Each session will include sharing
discoveries and inviting feedback into the process of writing
the Ministry Site Profile for St Luke Lutheran Church and
Preschool.
COME AND JOIN THE CONVERSATION at one of the weekly
sessions with St Luke Transition Team during the season of
Lent. You get to choose a time that works for you:
February 21– March 22
Saturdays beginning February 21 in the Lounge at 4:15 p.m.
Sundays beginning February 22 in the Lounge at 9:00 a.m.
Wednesdays beginning February 25 in the Fellowship Hall during the Soup and Conversation Time at 6:00 p.m. Soup and Conversation will be followed by a short worship
service at 7:00 p.m.
EACH OF THE FIVE WEEKLY SESSIONS during Lent will focus on a theme related to portions of the Ministry Site Profile. This will be a very important time to provide your input
into the process of discovering and sharing the vision for ministry for St Luke Lutheran
Church and Preschool. Do not miss out on this chance for “Listening to Jesus and to Each
Other!”

Greetings from your Transition Team!
Furthermore, we have begun our ultimate
task: drafting the Ministry Site Profile document. With your continued support and input, we hope to empower the future call committee with this solid background so that they
can find the person who best meets our leadership needs and can draw us from where we
stand today, to where we hope to go in the
future.
Thank you very sincerely for all of your
prayers and support as we move forward with
the work of the Transition Team. With this
support, we have been able to complete a
number of important tasks: researching and
analyzing the community context, updating
our mission, core values and vision:
St. Luke Lutheran Church, an ELCA Congregation
of the Rocky Mountain Synod
During the upcoming Lenten Season, we will
be asking for your input in a variety of forums.
We greatly look forward to sitting down over
Lenten Suppers on Wednesday evenings beginning February 25th through March as we
present our findings, share drafts and get your
feedback. Each week will focus on a theme
for a specific area of the work: context &
trends of our community and congregation,
our characteristics, purpose and mission, and
leadership needs.
Mission
We are a Congregation created by God in Christ,
empowered by the Holy Spirit…
• To live,
• To share, and
• To celebrate God’s grace with all people
Vision
To be an inviting and thriving cross-generational
Congregation and Pre-School
There will be a variety of ways to reach us
with your input: joining us for discussion, responding via email, a comment box in the
Narthex with weekly prompts. Please stay
tuned to the weekly bulletin for the specifics.
We can’t wait to hear from you!
Values
• Experiencing God’s grace, word and sacrament… belonging to the body of Christ and joined
to one another, equipped to respond in faith, love
and healing
• Exploring and understanding faith in God…
through learning, serving, and opening our hearts
and minds to the Holy Spirit
• Living out our faith in service to others … as
members of the Body of Christ in the world
Sincerely,
Shawn Dirk, chairman
And your Transition Team

Thank you for your continued faithful giving during this time of transition. We
were able to finish the year on a positive note financially. Contributions and
other income exceeded expenditures by $17,843.00.
We were able to save money in 2014 because we have not been fully staffed with
the departure of both our senior and associate pastors. We enter the new year
with one interim pastor. The difficult economy over the past several years and
the aging of our Congregation is providing us with many interesting challenges.
As we move forward into the future our faith and our commitment to the Body
of Christ will help allow God to work through His plan of redemption.
We need to look at our challenge not as just meeting a budget but as how
St. Luke can reach out to the community and the outside world to meet the
needs of others. If we are able to do that, then money will not be a problem.
The problem will be how we are going to spend the money.
I would also like to inform the Congregation that beginning February 1 you will
be able to contribute to St. Luke using your Credit Card. Initially Karen our
bookkeeper will be able to handle the transaction in her office. Later on we may
set up a way for you to make a contribution on the church website. If you have
any questions please contact me at 205-3204 or Karen our bookkeeper in the
bookkeeper’s office located in the pre-school building.
Again thank you for your faithful support of the ministries of St. Luke Lutheran
Church.
Rick Parker,
Treasurer

I wish to thank all who have helped me

Jerry is in Christ’s loving arms and that
lessens my grief. A special thanks to

stopped me to express your
condolences, you have given me a true
appreciation of my St. Luke Family.
Sincerely,
Your NMSU Crew ☺
Thank you, Shalom, and God Bless

ESSENTIAL TREMOR
By Sandy Williams
drinking glasses and utensils, wrist weights
and wider, heavier writing tools may be recommended.
ESSENTIAL TREMOR is a nervous
system disorder that causes a rhythmic shaking and is the most common movement
disorder. It usually occurs in people age 40
and over. Almost any part of the body can
be affected but the trembling occurs most
often in the hands while doing tasks like
eating, drinking or writing. Other body
parts affected by essential tremor are the
head, arms, voice, tongue, legs and trunk.
Medications prescribed can include beta
blockers, such as propranolol, which help
relieve tremors in some people. Other medications that may be used are anti-seizure drugs
and tranquilizers. Botox injections may be
useful in treating tremors of the head and
voice. Deep brain stimulation, a surgical
procedure, may be used for people whose
tremors are severely disabling and who don’t
respond to medications. A pacemaker-like
device is implanted in the chest. This device
transmits painless electrical impulses to interrupt signals from the thalamus that may be
causing tremors.
Cause—It is thought to be caused by electrical fluctuations in the brain that send abnormal signals out to the muscles. These signals
travel through several regions of the brain
before they make it out to the muscles.
Diagnosis—Your doctor may ask:
Other Actions—Avoiding caffeine, limited
Do you have a family history of tremor?
Have you ever had a head injury?
What parts of your body are affected?
Does anything make your tremors better
or worse?
What medications are you taking?
use of alcohol, and relaxation techniques such
as massage or meditation may help relieve or
reduce tremors. Also using voice activated
dialing on your phone and speech-recognition
software on your computer can be ways to
adapt to essential tremor in your daily life.
References:
Mayo Clinic: www.mayoclinic.org
There aren’t any specific tests used to diagnose essential tremor. Ruling out other conditions that may be causing symptoms can be
done through a neurological exam, laboratory
tests and performance tests.

Treatment—Nonmedical treatment can
include physical or occupational therapy to
