Low Sunday – High!Anyone who has been in the church or worked on the church sta�, paid or as a volunteer, has heard the phrase “Low Sunday.” Low Sunday is the �rst Sunday after Easter or Christmas. It is usually marked by low attendance and low o�erings. In the past CLC has experienced just that until last year and this year! At least in attendance we seem to have broken the “Low” aspects

of “Low Sunday.” For the past two years we have designated the �rst Sunday after Easter as “Preschool Appreciation Sunday.” We had 43 preschoolers and their families in attendance at the 9:30 a.m. Worship Service and our overall Sunday worship on “Low Sunday” was 577 this year (514 last year). Attendance compared to years before when we did not have this emphasis in 2012 was 401 and in 2011 438, well over a 25% increase!!

However (and there always seems to be a however!), our o�ering on the Sunday after Easter this year may have hit an all-time low of $4300 plate and $2400 electronic giving! This is coupled with a lower than average Easter o�ering from previous years.

However, other signs of life and vitality are that there were 5 couples in our past Sunday’s Baptismal Class; 200 + at the Preschool Art Auction Spaghetti Dinner; A Boy Scout Eagle Ceremony; twenty six 4th, 5th, & 6th graders participated in a Bible Bowl (congratulations to Megan Rucker!) and twenty seven at the 8th Grade Lock-In.

So, and with thanksgiving, we want to thank everyone who participated and supports these and other activities and ministries!

However, all these and other activities need �nancial support too, so the “Low” aspects of the giving from this Sunday need to be addressed in the future. We have a strong sense of “doing” and need to have a strong sense of providing the resources for that “doing.”

I have one �nal one for here:

Legacy and Endowment is looking for Scholarship Donations. Last year L&E gave out over $4000 in scholarships. The scholarship portion of L&E has been �nanced by individual special gifts. This year L&E is looking at only having around $1000 in scholarships to give out unless there are more contributions. All contributions are welcome and more information may be gotten by contact-ing Debby Kinsella.

May is a busy month, the month of graduations among other things. May you �nd and keep your balance in the busyness of life with attending to your spiritual and communal needs of being a part of Christ Lutheran Church and something greater than ourselves! Together we can “do” more!

See YOU in Worship + Many Blessings + Pastor Tom +

Pastor DJ’s Message

“It’s nothing,” or maybe you prefer my favorite: “No problem.” It’s the prescribed response when someone says thanks when you’ve helped them out. Even if we applied tremendous e�ort, we have always been taught that this is the way humble people are supposed to accept thanks and praise. We are recommended to brush o� the things that we do as inconsequential.

I believe there is a di�erent way that is certainly coun-teractive to my habits, but that I believe is more in line with scripture. First, Paul teaches us that we are correct and that we should not boast in our works (1 Corinthi-ans 1:29). So we have learned our lesson about not sounding the trumpet when we do something great. But there is a second step we neglect with our quick words. 1 Corintians 1:31 says “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” Elsewhere in scripture the same thing is repeated.

These two things go hand in hand, so that our dismis-sive words when we help people ought to be accompa-nied by a pointing to the work of God through us. It’s very simple, all that needs to be said is, “Just trying to share God’s love.” With those simple words all things become accomplished, espe-cially �lling out our Christian calling as witnesses.

We have a number of things occurring this time of year, from the Harrington Carnival to Con-�rmation. With all these things we could talk about how great we are because we are doing the right and appropriate thing, but that would be false. Indeed, God is great because he picked such a weak thing to show God’s own greatness and love. As Jesus taught it is when we tend to the needy that we encounter him in the world, I entreat you to try out this new phrase the next time you help someone in need. I think you may be surprised at what it does to your own soul.

God’s peace, messengers of Christ, Pastor DJ Dent

Shepherds' groups are dinner groups of eight people who meet four times in each other's homes between May and September. Each time the group meets, the host provides the main dish, and the

others in the group bring an appetizer, salad, or dessert. This is a great way to get to know other people, both members and visitors of CLC, on a more intimate basis. Adult only and family groups are available. Deadline to sign up is April 30th so please sign the response sheet.

Harrington is an inner-city Denver school that Christ Lutheran has adopted. Each year, CLC hosts a carnival at the school (located at 36th and York), typically on the �rst or second Saturday in May. The carnival features games and a bounce castle. The carnival is free to all students and their families. There is also a food booth serving brats and hot dogs, soda, chips, candy and pickles that is free to everyone in the school.

Donations of hot dogs, brats, soda, small bags of chips, pickles and candy bars are being accepted for the food booth. Donations of booth prizes are also being collect-ed. If you are interested in giving a cash dona-tions to o�set the $2000 we spend on games and prices that would be greatly appreciated. Volunteers to help run the carnival may sign-up on the response sheet. Working this event makes a great service project for individuals, families, small groups, and con�rmation groups. If you are going to work please arrive no later than 10:00 am.

FLOOD RELIEFSKILLED VOLUNTEERS

Do you have construction skills that can be shared with others? This summer we are taking on a new program doing �ood relief with close to 750 volunteers from all over the country. We will be working primarily in Boulder County, most likely in Longmont, Lyons and Jamestown. The

volunteers we have coming are primarily high school youth and, though they have energy and desire to serve, their construction skills are lacking!

If you feel you would be able to support, we are looking for local volunteers to serve as teachers and work project leaders. There will be many Sky Ranch sta� there to support as well as adult sponsors, we just need help with the project side of it! Our summer programs will run the third week of June through July. Don't feel like you'd have to volunteer the whole summer either, we'd love you for a day, a week or longer!

Please contact our Flood Relief Coordinator, Lisa Dunworth at lisa@skyranchcolorado.org if this is something you'd be interested in learning more about.

FLOOD RELIEF TOOL DRIVE

In addition to lining up work for our Flood Relief Groups, we also need to coordinate materials and all necessary tools. And we need your help!

We are looking for equipment to prepare us for four primary project types: Hiking Trail, Park, and River Bed Clean Up; Residential Debris Removal; Dry walling; and Painting. We also need some supplies to support housing and feeding working groups.

We welcome any new or used (but in good working order!) tools that could help these projects. We hope to have all tools donated by June 1 so we can prepare for volunteers the next week. For recommended tools and drop o� locations, go to www.SkyRanchColorado.org/tooldrive or call Lisa, our �ood relief coordinator, at 970-493-5258.

Thanks for your great support!

THRIVENT ACTION TEAMSWe are excited to share a new way for Thrivent members to share

their generosity by making an impact at Sky Ranch: Thrivent Action Teams! Action teams are a way for you to identify a need in your community - like Sky Ranch! - and to act to meet that need.

Thrivent has made the process of proposing an action team easy. Simply go to www.thrivent.com/actionteam/ and click ACT NOW. After signing in, �ll out the brief form, including a description of the project and completion date - make sure to tell your Sky Ranch story and how you hope to impact our ministry! After the project has been approved, you will receive a $250 debit card and an action kit to help complete your project. You can also contact your local �nancial repre-sentative to sign up for an action team. Each Thrivent member is eligible for up to two Thrivent Action Team projects each year.

For ideas on how your Thrivent Action Team could impact Sky Ranch, feel free to call our o�ce (970-493-5258) and brain-storm ideas. One suggestion is to adopt a project during one of our work weekends... but really the options are limitless! Thank you to Thrivent Financial and its members for the continued support of Sky Ranch.

FIRST IMPRESSIONSIt's that time of year again to start thinking

about CLC's beautiful landscaping.

There is a diagram with all the plots you can adopt. Some of them have been adopted already so please

check the sign-up sheet in Debby's o�ce for availability. The duties include weeding, pruning, planting and dead-heading. This is a wonderful way to keep our

church looking great!!!

May is a fun and exciting time at Sunday School! We will be learning about how Jesus gives us and hope and that there are many ways we can praise him. One of our key verses will be "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies' " (John 11:25).

We are in need of teachers and helpers in May! Come and join our team! We give you all tools needed to teach or help.

The last day of Sunday School is May 18th then we take our summer break. Have a Great Summer and see you in service!

SUNDAYSCHOOL

NEWS FROM THE PRESCHOOLThank you for all of your support of the Preschool this year! May will feel more like the Spring we have been waiting for. Our ladybugs are growing and our caterpillars are in their chyrsalis form waiting to become butter�ies. Just like all of our children in the school! We are entering our last month at the preschool and have to say that the year went very fast. We will be busy making Mother’s Day gifts and practicing for our end of the year programs and graduation. We also have our class picnics on the last day of school. It has been a blessed year for the preschool thanks to our families and friends. Remember, if you know of any 2 ½ - 6 year old in need of a preschool home, consider sending them our way. We will also host 4 camp sessions this summer. We all get a little sad to see our butter�ies �y away, but we know we helped them learn and grow and they will come back to visit. And, we look forward to a new bunch of caterpillars.

Many blessings to everyone! Deb and Blair
