BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN Please be sure to pick up a baby bottle from the table in the Narthex on your way out of church today. Fill the bottle with spare change (or a check) and return it to church on Father’s Day. This is part of the annual Baby Bottle Campaign put on by Loving Choices. The Outreach Ministry Team had a chance to tour the facility in April and were VERY impressed by what they have to offer. Loving Choices supports families from “I think I might be pregnant” to 9 months after delivery! They even have a mobile van (with an ultrasound machine inside) that parks in various locations throughout Northwest Arkansas including the parking lot across from Planned Parenthood in Fayetteville.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH. What God has made clean, do not call common” (Acts 11:9). The same grace that sanctifies our consciences also safeguards the lives of the least of these. By creating them with His own fingers (Psalm 139:13), redeeming them with His own blood (2 Corinth-ians 5:19), and calling them with His own Spirit and Word (Matthew 28:19), the Lord our God has declared every member of our race, including embryos and elderly ones, not only clean but precious. (Easter V)

LIFE QUOTES Both before and after their births, our children are precious lives belonging to God and redeemed by Him. (Their mothers are, too.) Each of our days is ordained by Him, including the challenging days of motherhood.” Marie K. MacPherson, author of “Meditations on the Vocation of Motherhood”–If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

15 Things God Won't Ask

1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who did not have transportation.

2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3. God won't ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy.

4. God won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed.

5. God won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life.

6. God won't ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you compromised your character to obtain that salary.

7. God won't ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked overtime for your family and loved ones.

8. God won't ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others.

9. God won't ask what your job title was, but will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

10. God won't ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did to help others.

11. God won't ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend.

12. God won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask what you did to protect the rights of others.

13. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbors.

14. God won't ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character.

15. God won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH. Among motherhood’s greatest works is comforting distraught little ones. Where the world would wipe out lives by murder, the Lamb once slain but raised again mothers us by wiping away our tears (Revelation 7:17). Heavenly Father’s forgiveness and salvation heal even the guilt of abortion, the grief of terminal diagnosis, and the fear of complicated pregnancy. The Hand that rules the world also rocks the cradle. (Easter IV/Mother’s Day)

LIFE QUOTES “[I]t does not say that the honoring, serving, and obeying one’s parents is conditional or in response to their earning or deserving it. No, one is to love and cherish them as well as honoring, serving, and obeying them as if they were God Himself … The good news is that where we have obviously failed, Jesus did not. He not only honored His step-father Joseph and his mother Mary, but also His heavenly Father. He offers you His payment for your sin and a place in God’s family, now and forever.” Pastor Ricky Jacob, Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Church and preschool, Winnebago –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED on Monday, May 13. Holy Trinity will be one of the Food Pantry's that will reap some of the benefits of the Post Office Carriers food drive. We still need volunteers to help check for expiration dates, sort, and store the food. Please sign up in Narthex or call the office.

OUTREACH MINISTRY TEAM A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped provide a chili dinner for the families utilizing the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Hospital in Rogers. Volunteers included: Jan Wildenborg, Shirley Bernthal, Donna Spencer, Libby Garner, Joyce Bauer, Gerri Jennings, and the Bolte family. It was a huge success! The staff at the Ronald McDonald House sent the following email after the dinner:

Hello Casey and Church friends! Thank you again for providing dinner tonight! I enjoyed getting to meet you and your family, and I wanted to let you know that after you left, the chili was soon devoured! Family and friends gathered around the dining table to consume your yummy chili dinner, and it was such a nice sight to see. We appreciate the time and care you spent to provide a delicious meal for our families, and we know the families greatly appreciate it too. Please send our gratitude to the rest of your church family.

Thank you once more – Ronald McDonald Family Room Staff

While we were dropping off the meal, the staff mentioned there several openings to provide meals in the coming months. If you are interested in providing a dinner on your own or with a small group of friends, please visit www.rmhcofarkoma.org to sign up. If you need help signing up, please contact Casey Bolte at 479.644.3618

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH. Even the one whose faculties are declining and whose dying appears undignified shines in the light of God’s love and power (John 21:18-19). Jesus who rose, reigns, and is returning smuggles blessings in every burden. His gracious guidance speedily and mightily conducts dances out of dirges (Psalm 30:11). And He extends this compassion to every human being without exception (Revelation 5:9)! (Easter III)

LIFE QUOTES “Whoa. What a cool thought! Before your parents ever laid eyes on you before they fought over whether to name you John Jr. or Steven, God knew your name and He wanted you as his. In fact, it goes back further than you think. Before God even created the very first parents, He knew you were coming someday and He chose you, specifically you, for his team.” Diane Kerr, Time of Grace –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

HELPING HANDS - Saturday, May 25th is the next volunteer event for Holy Trinity to support Helping Hands.

If you can spare a few hours of time, you will be supporting a great cause and getting an extra discount on merchandise at the same time! Please sign up in the Narthex or see Dave Ferguson.

VISIT ISRAEL Have you ever considered visiting the Holy Land? I know that every person who has done so would encourage you to pray about it and to go. In fact I can point out several people in our congregation who have been and can tell you all about it. Why go? It will deepen your faith in ways you cannot imagine. When you read the Bible and it talks about places you can say I’ve been there. You will be able to relate and understand in a new way. I am leading another group to Israel January 15th – 26th, 2020. An information packet is on the bulletin board in the Narthex or just contact me and I’ll be glad to give you a copy. Pam Pickett 479-601-2550 pamsue27@gmail.com

POST OFFICE ANNUAL LETTER CARRIERS FOOD DRIVE Please tell everyone you know that on Saturday, May 11th, there will be the Rogers Post Office's Annual Letter Carriers Food Drive. This year they need help getting the word out by social media or by word of mouth. To participate in the food drive just leave a bag of food by your mail box on Saturday, May 11th.

On Monday, May 13th, Holy Trinity will be one of the Food Pantry's that will reap some of the benefits of this drive. We will need a volunteer driver with a pick up truck (and at least one volunteer helper) to go to the post office on Monday, May 13th after 9 A.M. to pick up a truck load of food. As we have done in the last couple of years we will need approximately 10 volunteers to help check for expiration dates, sort, and store the food. Please call the office, or email Elaine (elaine@holytrin.org) or Krista (krista@holytrin.org) if you are willing and able to help with this important project. Thank you ~ Krista Malone~

THANK YOU I would like to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers, Get Well Cards & gift card. I am happy to be back to work serving the Lord and sharing God's love to others. I also want to thank Joyce Bauer, Christy Lehenbauer, and Pat Rader, and anyone else that I don't know of, that helped out in the office while I was off work. You are appreciated! Thank you so much. ~ Krista Malone~

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.

“Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the Lord[!]” (Psalm 148:12-13). Every life—however little, however weak, however seemingly miserable—has been brought forth by our good God for joyful purpose. He takes hold of even the most hopeless-looking situations (Revelation 1:18) to show—and share—His abundant, everlasting life (John 20:27). Behold it, believe it, and receive it! (Easter II)

LIFE QUOTES “Death is the enemy of the human race—an enemy no one can fight or avoid forever. But God has done a new thing—He has raised Jesus Christ from the dead, never to die again. What other god has done anything like that in all the stories and fables? But wait, there’s more. What god has ever promised to share everlasting life with everyone who trusts in Him? Only the true God. Only Jesus.” Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries–If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

APRIL IS TORNADO AND SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS MONTH As part of a four-part Emergency Plan Series, the Holy Trinity Safety Team has designated April as Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness month. During this period, members of the congregation will be briefed on what to do during a weather emergency and will be provided instructions on the location of the designated tornado shelter area in the church. Instructional brochures will be provided for each family.

GOOD NEWS REGARDING THE FOOD PANTRY Krista Malone, our dedicated Office Assistant suffered a fall which resulted in a broken leg. Krista’s continues to heal and has decided to return to work beginning Monday (at least for a few hours per day). In my opinion, Krista will still need some volunteer help on Monday, Thursday, and Friday from Noon to 4 pm and on Tuesday from 9 am to 1 pm. You do not need to stay for the full 4 hours. Any block of time will be helpful. Your help will be greatly appreciated. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.

A surprise pregnancy or an incurable condition can leave us feeling like we have to make friends with death just to keep from suffering alone. But God goes with us as our Savior and Father even into death’s domain (Psalm 16:10). And He never escorts us there without also carrying us through it (Psalm 16:11). We don’t have to surrender a single breath, because every Good Friday finds its Easter Sunday in Jesus!

EASTER BREAKFAST join us for breakfast in the Life Center starting at 8:15a. All proceeds go to support our youth and their trip to the National Youth Gathering

LIFE QUOTES “When the devil speaks, do not believe the lies. Whether your life be young or old, the deceit of death will enter it. You will walk by caskets. You will lie in a hospital bed. You will hear the devil speak in his native language. His lies will come to you just as they did to me. See through his faulty speech. Recognize his broken narrative. Deny every phony word. Christ calls you a Christian, and the devil’s language holds no truth. When the deceit of death enters your life, listen to the truth Christ speaks on this day … ‘He will speak again. You will visit family again. She will greet you again. Christ will rise again.’” Rev. Paul Spaude, Martin Luther College –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

APRIL IS TORNADO AND SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS MONTH As part of a four-part Emergency Plan Series, the Holy Trinity Safety Team has designated April as Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness month.

Instructional brochures will be provided for each family.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE FOOD PANTRY Krista Malone, our dedicated Office Assistant suffered a fall which resulted in a broken leg. Krista’s orthopedic doctor reports that surgery will not be necessary, however it will be necessary for her to keep the leg immobilized in order for it to heal. In order for the Food Pantry to remain open at our current level, we need volunteers for Thursday, and Friday from Noon to 4 pm and on Tuesday from 9 am to 1 pm. You do not need to stay for the full 4 hours. Any block of time will be helpful. Times that we cannot find a volunteer to staff the pantry will mean closing our doors. We have place a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

HELPING HANDS - Saturday, May 25th is the next volunteer event for Holy Trinity to support Helping Hands. This faith-based organization provides food for around 100 families each week and needs our help to run their store. If you can spare a few hours of time, you will be supporting a great cause and getting an extra discount on merchandise at the same time! Please sign up in the Narthex or see Dave Ferguson.

VISIT ISRAEL Have you ever considered visiting the Holy Land? I know that every person who has done so would encourage you to pray about it and to go. In fact I can point out several people in our congregation who have been and can tell you all about it. Why go? It will deepen your faith in ways you cannot imagine. When you read the Bible and it talks about places you can say I’ve been there. You will be able to relate and understand in a new way. I am leading another group to Israel January 15th – 26th, 2020. An information packet is on the bulletin board in the Narthex or just contact me and I’ll be glad to give you a copy. Pam Pickett 479-601-2550 pamsue27@gmail.com

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.

– Our Almighty Maker reserves the right and responsibility for decisions about life and death (Deuteronomy 32:39). Jesus has earned this authority by swallowing up death in His crucifixion. And He has proven Himself trustworthy in life-and-death matters by bringing forth joy even from sorrow in His resurrection. What a great relief! The times and terms of human lives and deaths rest securely in His loving and saving hand. (Palm Sunday)

EASTER BREAKFAST Next Sunday, join us for breakfast in the Life Center starting at 8:15a. All proceeds go to support our youth and their trip to the National Youth Gathering. If you want donate food for this event, check the bulletin board in the narthex for donation slips.

LIFE QUOTES “This Sunday, the church [invites] the world to remem-ber the One who comes into the midst of a very fickle humanity—duplicity, defeat, violence, injustice, pain, and all. He comes near to good and bad intentions, near the ashes of what was meant to be honor, the ruins of attempts on our own. And despite our oscillating thoughts, despite the sin we cannot leave, He invites us into a disruptively different sort of story of defeat. The Son has made his triumphal entry. And yet He comes to bring us the cross, to the one sacrifice that speaks to the world’s pain.” Jill Carattini, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries – –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

HISPANIC MINISTRY needs your help! Want to make a difference in your community? We do that.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.

Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!” (Psalm 126:5). Choosing life isn’t always easy. Enduring illnesses, giving birth, caring for children, and speaking truth in love often involve suffering. However, our good Lord forms all people—and their circumstances—for Himself. And life received from Him brings celebrations that eclipse all sorrows. Whoever trusts Christ’s grace will also take hold of His glory (Philippians 3:8-11).

LIFE QUOTES Jesus came to save us, to show love to us; He came because He is pro-life, pro-eternal life, and He came to give eternal life to you, to me, to those children unwanted by anyone else, to those mothers who have fallen into sin, to the disabled and elderly forgotten by everyone else. Jesus came for you, not to condemn you, but to save you. He came to destroy death with all of its power over us, and His Easter victory, which we will celebrate very soon, is a day of life, eternal life, for all.” Rev. Christopher Maronde, pastor of Saint John Lutheran Church, Decatur, Indiana (Lent V) –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH. Many who take part in violence against life feel like prodigals (Luke 15:13). Our Lord never ceases to see Himself as Father even to these (Luke 15:22-24). He breaks His heart open as much for them as for their victims. He keeps reaching out in reconcilia-tion with the relief, healing, and cheer they seek. We know the way to our generous God because He has guided us on that way Himself. (Lent IV)

LIFE QUOTES God is the ultimate Designer. He designed the greatest good the world has ever seen to come from the most heinous evil mankind has ever produced. You are never too stained for God to love. When you are feeling weak and foolish, give thanks to God for that, because that’s exactly the kind of person that God likes to use.” Rev. Dan Larsen, pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church, Wabasso, Minnesota, and Trinity Lutheran Church, Sanborn, Minnesota –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE DINNER After a long day at the hospital, there’s nothing more appreciated than a home-cooked meal. Let’s get together and prepare a comforting meal for families utilizing the Ronald McDonald house area at Mercy Hospital in Rogers. The Outreach Ministry team has committed our church to serve dinner on Saturday, April 6th. Please use the sign-up sheet in the Narthex to provide part of the meal. Items are due at church by 4:00pm on that Saturday. We won’t know how many people we will be serving until the day before – plan on 8 to 20 people. As soon as we find out, we will call, text, or email you with the headcount – so please be sure to list a phone number or email when you sign up. THANK YOU!!

GREETER NEEDED We still need a greeter for the early service (7:00 am) on Easter Sunday. Maxine Reihman has graciously said she would serve, but this is EASTER SUNDAY, she will need help. Hope one of you will say yes. Let the office know.

LOST AND FOUND A jar of soup labels was found in the church. Please call the office to claim.

LENT – AN EARLY START TO SPRING CLEANING Although Lent often starts before Spring, it is an appropriate time for spring cleaning. The Word “Lent” comes from old German and English words for “Spring.” So while it may be too soon to open windows or hang clothes on a line, this is an ideal time for spiritual spring cleaning. Lent calls us to examine our beliefs, confess and dispose of old grudges and selfish habits, dust off our Bibles for a new routine of study and prayer, air out our hearts and brighten our attitudes. “Lent Cleaning” lets the Holy Spirit freshen our faith – and it is never to early for that.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH. God finds no pleasure in death (Ezekiel 33:11), whether of the wicked or of the innocent. Neither will we, particularly since He has delivered us instead into the position of watchmen for life (Ezekiel 33:7). We have responsibility for warning about the evils of abortion, embryo experiments, and physician-assisted suicide (Ezekiel 33:8). And we get the privilege of winning over hearts, rescuing eternities, and making brothers of neighbors (Ezekiel 33:14-16) by the Gospel of His unconditional love. (Lent III)

LIFE QUOTES The Virgin Mary’s womb became the dwelling place of the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Word by whom all things were made. Within the first month, the heart of the Logos in human flesh was beating, like ours, with electrical impulses, pumping blood through His body, blood He would later shed for our sins. But the full miracle of the Incarnation was not just in seeing the Man in the flesh but much more: in Mary’s Son we saw with our eyes real things that are only visible by their effects: divine mercy, love, compassion, faith, meekness, and justice “ James M. Kushiner, The Fellowship of St. James –If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

GREETERS, READERS, VIDEO OPERATORS, OFFICE HELPERS. Second Quarter schedules are in your mailbox. Please note that April 14th will be a Unity Sunday with only one service at 10:00 am. Easter Sunday is April 21st and our regular 8:00 am service will be at 7:00 am.

THANK YOU to Diane Williams who made some lovely new floral arrangements for our narthex area. The outreach team is looking at ways we can do a bit of a refresh in our foyer/narthex space to make it more welcoming and useful. Stay tuned!
DIGITAL NEWS AND NOTES Holy Trinity is trying to cut back on the amount of printing that we do every week and you can help! Beginning this week, we will be cutting back on the number of News & Notes we print. Don’t worry, you will still be able to get a physical copy on Sunday if you want one. Printed copies are available in the Narthex. However, if you prefer a digital copy, you can always go to holytrin.org/newsandnotes to view it there. Additionally, if you would like a copy emailed to you for your viewing convenience, send an email to office@holytrin.org asking to be placed on the email list for News and Notes. Please include your email address in the body of your email. Yes, it comes through in the address line, but it is much easier for us to copy it from the body of the email. Thank you for your help!

HISPANIC MINISTRY needs your help! Want to make a difference in your community? We do that. Every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8:00 we offer both a beginning and an intermediate English as a Second Language class for free to anyone who wants to come. We make friends for life and help to improve our friends' lives by teaching them English and loving them. We have 13 students this semester and need your help ! Please contact Peggy Jones at 479-633-2050 if you have an hour or so to spare each week. We can put you right to work!!

NO HEAD TO THE HEART CONFRIMATION THIS WEDNESDAY Enjoy your spring break but that doesn’t mean you can’t come to Lent service.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE After a long day at the hospital, there’s nothing more appreciated than a home-cooked meal. Let’s get together and prepare a comforting meal for families utilizing the Ronald McDonald house area at Mercy Hospital in Rogers. The Outreach Ministry team has committed our church to serve dinner on Saturday, April 6th. Please use the sign-up sheet in the Narthex to provide part of the meal. Items are due at church by 4:00pm on that Saturday. We won’t know how many people we will be serving until the day before – plan on 8 to 20 people. As soon as we find out, we will call, text, or email you with the headcount – so please be sure to list a phone number or email when you sign up. THANK YOU!!
