Dear Friends,

It’s the season of Easter – all month long – all year long – all life long!

We may celebrate other events and occasions yearly, but we celebrate Easter and our Lord’s resurrection once a week, every Sunday.   Why?  Because it’s the most important event in history and seals our future for all time.  So keep gathering with us for the on-going celebration every seven days.

Other good news:  work will soon begin on replacing the side windows of our sanctuary with stained glass.  The same artist who designed the existing stained glass in front and has had a design for matching windows for several years, has been hired by one of our generous members to install them.  The new windows will depict Christ the King and portions of the Lord’s Prayer.  The project will be completed in about four months.

A jazz ensemble from Wartburg College in Iowa will be in concert on Sunday, April 21st at 7:30 PM at Grace Lutheran Church (5800 Canal Blvd in New Orleans).  You’re invited!

Have you heard of “Stephen Ministry”?  It’s a special care-giving and support ministry designed by a Lutheran pastor and now used in various denominations throughout the country.  A workshop to acquaint folks with the parish-based program will be hosted by Parkway Presbyterian Church (6200 Camphor St in Metairie) the morning of Saturday, April 27th.  Let me know if you’re interested in attending with others on behalf of CTK.

Peace & Joy!

Ron
