St. Matthew Passion Bach Society Houston presents Bach's towering masterpiece, the St. Matthew Passion, on Palm Sunday (April 14, 6:00 p.m.) and Good Friday (April 19, 3:00 p.m.). These performances have no admission charge and are open to all in the community. This year, we will present the Passion in a manner seldom heard in the United States: the choir comprises only eight singers, and each of the singers sings solos in addition to the ensemble parts. This approach is described in historical materials from Bach's own time, according to research by musicologist Daniel Melamed, who will give the pre-performance lecture on Sunday, April 14 at 5:15 p.m. Come join us for this powerful work, and hear a fresh take as well!

Special Congregational MeetingApril 7, 9:45 a.m., parish hall Join members of the Christ the King Foundation board for a special congregational meeting to address two items: (1) final approval of a $150,000 grant to fund the basement resto-ration project, completing a two-year, $310,000 grant; and (2) discussion of the decision to transition the existing Founda-tion into a newly-constituted Foundation with the same core mission, updated bylaws and policies, and greater flexibility for the future mission of the congregation.

Pastor Duane's

World

‘Thinking’ About EasterJesus’ most important two command-ments, which he said were the sum-mary of all the law, were these. (1) “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your being.” And (2) “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

As we anticipate soon the end of Lent’s own transfiguration into Easter, it may

seem curious that I begin above with the two great command-ments. We do not usually connect these primary actions of discipleship with Easter. Here I suggest why we could and should. Easter frees and inspires us both to love and to use our heads, and here is why, with a dash of theo-logic.

First, Easter confirms and proclaims that God in Christ has raised Christ from the dead and us with him. Radical news! Christ raised; we get that. But us with him? Um, “pardon me, but is that still sickness oppression and death that I still see all around?” Well, yes, if one wants to see only on the surface of things, and if one insists still that human time is bigger than God’s time. But if God is God, then God’s time is unimaginably bigger than human time, and my/your human time is caught up into God’s infinitely larger time. What looks to us like a long-delayed promise into a far-flung future is already present tense to God. Our resurrection with Jesus Christ is guaranteed and already achieved. St. Paul says as much in Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12. And that resurrected new life has begun already now in our own “time zone.”

So far, so good and familiar. Now it gets radical, which means most basically true. If this God who raised Jesus and us from the dead is God (!), and if this God is good (!!), and if this God created the universe (!!!), then God is the savior of all people and all creation. Wow. Easter is about the final salvation of everybody and everything.

Again, wow! Either everything is at stake with Easter. Otherwise

nothing is at stake with Easter. That is, if God is God, then finally everyone is saved. If God is not God, nothing is saved. Which is also to say, if human beings are to live by hope, then this God must be God. Otherwise, there is no cause for hope.

This, as a matter of historical fact, is exactly what early Chris-tianity professed. Scripture, the earliest Christian writings, the early tradition, and logic: all these together led Christians to believe that there was hope for humankind because God would save all people. In the fourth-century (arguably the most profound century for establishing Christian dogma), the great church father Basil of Caesarea noted that most Christians believed that hell was not forever and that all fi-nally would attain salvation. But since the 19th century with the rise of more “fundamentalist” forms of Christianity, this view of hell’s temporary status was no longer prevalent in Christian communities.

I can suggest why and how that happened another time. But since we are freed and even compelled by Christ both to love and think, it falls to love and reason that if God is “not the savior of all, the Kingdom is only a dream, and creation something considerably worse than a nightmare” (David Bentley Hart). In other words, if there is damnation, it is not eternal; all will be saved. So believed most early Christians. So believe many again now.

It is the best news. But with it there is no license to sit back and do nothing. Because we are given hope, we are com-pelled to hope, which means to bring hope to all neighbors, too. And so I am compelled to proclaim and serve, because if hope makes sense, and if human beings can live full and meaningful lives only with hope, then hope can only be itself if God so saves. And if we indeed hope, we cannot abide in this life without others also hoping, and we cannot abide in this life if others live in such a way as to deny hope for others. Living by hope, we spread hope. We do so in every possible.

This is the theology—the God-logic—that reminds us of Easter’s total claim, and that we are Easter’s loving and reasonable advocative disciples.

I can’t wait (again) for Easter!Lovingly and logically yours, Pastor Duane

Christ the King Ministries Bring Hope to our Neighbors

On March 22, CTK ministry Freewheels Houston provided 16 bikes for the children of participants in Christian Community Service Center's Martha's Way program, a vocational training program designed to increase the earning potential of low-income women and men. See page 3 for more information on our ministry partner, CCSC.


Christian Community Service CenterThe Christian Community Service Center (CCSC) is a coalition of churches working to reduce the effects of poverty in the local community. The mission of Christian Community Service Center (CCSC) is to serve the poor, hungry, disabled and otherwise needy while respecting their religious, ethnic, or cultural differences. CCSC was created out of faith and founded in the belief that we are called to help all of God’s children heart to heart and hand in hand.

CCSC serves as our congregation’s Food Pantry, Clothing Closet, and Emergency Services for members and neighbors in need.

By special request, Christ the King Church will once again donate a wine and chocolate basket for the silent auction at the fundraising dinner of the Christian Community Service Center (CCSC). Contributions can be made by everyone – the greater the variety, the greater the basket! Items will be collected in the narthex through Sunday, April 21. Contact Wendy Wiker at [email protected]. Thank you for supporting CCSC!

The congregation is preparing for The Three Days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Day. The Three Days stand at the center of our church year, beginning at sundown Thursday and concluding at sundown on Sunday. Maundy Thursday includes Individual Absolution, Holy Communion and the Stripping of the Altar. On Good Friday the congregation assembles around the Word and for the Adoration of the Cross. After sundown on Friday, Canonical Hours will be held every three hours to mark Holy Saturday. After sundown on Saturday the Easter Day begins and the congregation gathers at 9:00 p.m. in the courtyard for the Vigil of Easter with the new fire and candle, the readings of redemption, the return of the “Alleluia” of Easter, and the celebration of the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection in baptismal water and eucharistic bread and wine. On Easter Sunday we gather for morning worship and an afternoon German language Easter service.

Please help us have a delightful Easter breakfast! If you can bring a breakfast food to share on Easter morning at 9:45 a.m., please contact Beverly Davis at [email protected] or 713-400-0517.

Easter at Christ the King Church is always an exciting time for children! Little ones help celebrate the Resurrection of Christ by participating in the Flowering of the Cross and hunting for Easter eggs. Please plan to bring lots of lovely flowers for your children to use and be sure to bring a basket for the egg hunt. The festivities begin with a potluck Easter Breakfast at 9:45 a.m. and Flowering of the Cross. There will be several egg hunts beginning at 10:00 a.m., with special designated areas for the little ones. Age groups will be split 0-2, 2-4, and 5 and up. Donations of wrapped candy are needed. Please drop them off to the church by April 19 (Good Friday). No peanuts, please.

We invite you to visit the Stations of the Cross in the parish hall between the Sunday services (9:30 - 10:30 a.m.) and following the late service (12:15 p.m.) on Palm Sunday, April 14. Starting with a presentation about Jesus in the Garden, the Stations depict Jesus’ actions from the Garden to the Resurrection. Ponder the trial of Jesus; struggle with the cross; grieve at the crucifixion; and wonder as the sadness turns into the pure joy of the Resurrection. Take as long as you want, thinking or praying, then you may pick up a scripture card, an item relating to the story, or both to remind you of each part of the story.

This Stations of the Cross was designed and made by the students in the 5th & 6th grade Godly Play class. The children learned the story of each Station and created an item to be carried away for each story, and they will host and lead the way through the presentation. We hope this will help you as you get ready for the Mystery of Easter.

Looking for Whatsapp Communication Partners, Ages 18 to 40, with our African Companion SynodWould you like to communicate with a member of our companion synod, the Lutheran Church of the Central African Republic (EEL-RCA) via cell phone app (Whatsapp or Messenger)? The church there is keenly interested in this program and is eagerly signing people up. They have suggested the age range between 18 and 40. Participants would be matched up with someone within about 5 years of their age. If you know some French, that would be helpful, but this is not an absolute requirement since Google Translate can give you rough translations. For more information or to register, call or email Carolyn Jacobs, [email protected] and use Communication Proj-ect as the subject.

Join us for a special farewell reception honoring Brian and Megan Glikes following the 10:50 a.m. worship on Sunday, April 28.

Frank Muschalle in Concert May 1, 7:00 p.m.The Goethe Pop Up Houston is pleased to invite boogie-woogie pianist Frank Muschalle for a solo-performance at Christ the King Lutheran Church.

Believed to have developed in lumber and turpentine camps in East Texas in the early 1870s, boogie-woogie style, first referred to as "fast western," was influenced by the emergence of the steam railroad, both in terms of its sound and rythym as well as its rapid migration to other regions.

Frank Muschalle is a Berlin-based blues and boogie- woogie composer and pianist. Alongside pianists Axel Zwingenberger, Vince Weber, Martin Pyrker, among others, Muschalle has performed at jazz clubs and festivals across the world.

The concert will take place in Parish Hall at Christ the King Lutheran Church. Free to attend.

You can drop off all donated items in the collection basket in the narthex any Sunday.

In Home Assessments from the Congregational NursePeople find comfort being in a home surrounded by what is familiar and precious. According to a report from AARP 90% of people over the age of 65 desire to remain in their home and community for as long as possible. Over time this may mean surrounding oneself with services to support changing needs and new health issues in order to

“age in place”. In addition physical adjustments can be made to the living space to promote safety and prevent negative consequences like injury from a fall.

With a little planning and proac-tive assessment aging in place can be achieved by nearly everyone.

To that end the health ministry at CTK is offering in home evaluations which look at home safety, home function and activities of daily living.

HomeSweetHome

The research based evaluation tool is The Personal Autonomy Review developed by Performance Based Healthcare Solutions.

The assessment is done in the home and takes about 2 hours to complete. A follow up report is prepared and will identify potential modifications and activ-ities that can enhance safety, function and quality of life for individuals and their families. For more information or to schedule an assessment please contact Linda Schoene, Congregational Nurse at 713-416-9075 or [email protected].

By special request, Christ the King Church will once again donate a wine and chocolate basket for the silent auction at the fundraising dinner of the Christian Community Service Center (CCSC). Contributions can be made by everyone – the greater the variety, the greater the basket! Items will be collected in the narthex through Sunday, April 21. Contact Wendy Wiker at [email protected]. Thank you for supporting CCSC!

Justice Advocacy Opportunities – Advocate with the ELCA

Interfaith Climate Advocacy DayApril 3, 11:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., AustinJoin with those of other faiths for a climate advocacy day in Austin! Texas Impact is organizing the event. They will provide training and afterward we will meet with legislators to discuss climate-related bills before the legislature. Texas Impact believes that it may be possible to get legislation related to climate change passed in this legislative session. See: texasimpact.org/events/2019-04.

Support Immigrant CommunitiesPresident Trump ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Enforced Departure (DED), and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs which, in total, impact about 1 million immigrants, putting them at risk of deportation. In response, a bill has been introduced into the House, the Dream and Promise Act. Petition Congress to pass legislation to protect these programs, provide a path to legal permanent residency and a roadmap to citizenship for TPS, DED, and DACA recipients. Go to afsc.org, and click on the link to Protect TPS, DED, and DACA. Don’t Roll Back Mercury Air Toxics StandardsThe EPA is proposing to roll back mercury air toxics standards. The resulting degradation in air quality will impact the most vulnerable in our communities - those with asthma, pregnant women, developing children, and the elderly. The current standards prevent 11,000 premature deaths and 540,000 missed days of work/school. The EPA is accepting public comments on the proposed rule change through April 17. Submit your comments opposing this change at: epa.gov/mats/how-comment-proposed-revised-supplemental-finding-and-rtr.

The Work of the ELCA: Faith, Science & TechnologyThe ELCA teaches that science and technol-ogy are expressions of the human respon-sibility to learn and predict, imagine and invent for the sake of caring for creation together. While the implications of sci-ence and technology sometimes pose new complexities and ambiguities, science and technology by definition “do not constitute understandings (or imply judgments) about God. There is no inherent conflict between scientific findings and the understanding of God as creator, redeemer and sanctifier.” To check out ELCA resources available on this topic, go to www.elca.org, place your cursor over “Our Work”, and click the link for “Faith Science and Technology” in the Publicly Engaged Church section.

Bread for the World’s annual Offering of Letters campaign engages churches, campuses, and other faith communities in writing letters to Congress. Each year, for the focus of the campaign, BFW chooses specific legislation or a legislative emphasis that can make a real difference to people struggling with hunger and poverty. This year’s emphasis urges Congress to protect and increase funding for global nutrition.

Christ the King Church members are invited to gather in the courtyard and write letters on May 5. Sample letters and writing materials will be availabe. Supported with prayer, our letters become a bold witness to God’s justice and mercy. They have had, and continue to have, a significant impact on the decisions made in Congress. Our letters will be dedicated during worship on Mother’s Day, May 12.

Did you know?15 years agoFeed the Homeless Ministry began.

Sandwiches and bag lunches were made in our kitchen and delivered to the homeless popu-lation in the downtown area. Due to changing city policies, com-munity needs, leadership and strategies for assisting homeless individuals in the Houston area, our Feed the Homeless group de-cided to take a break in 2016 after 15 years of serving the hungry.

40 years agoLutheran Book of Worship (the green book) was introduced.

50 years ago The early Sunday services at 8:30 a.m. began during Lent.

60 years agoChurch property value

In an article: “In 1945, the land fronting 235 feet on Rice Blvd. and 165 feet on Greenbriar, was purchased for $17,500. Now, 12 years later, the land is said to be worth about $165,000, according to the pastor.”

70 years agoBoard of Administration (congre-gation council) approved a mo-tion that no secretary’s minutes of the Administrative Boards (council meetings) be accepted unless typewritten in permanent form.


Season of Hope: Building Personal Care Kits for People Around the WorldDuring Lent, we again join Lutheran World Relief’s Season of Hope appeal. Each week, we collect a different item that will be used to assemble Personal Care Kits that give people around the world tools to stay healthy in life’s most challeng-ing situations.

Our Sunday collection schedule is below, but we will gratefully receive items every Sunday, especially towels.

When emergencies like natural disasters or conflict arise, many families must flee their homes, leaving their belongings behind. When they arrive in a refugee camp or other place of safety, they are scared, vulnerable and dirty from the travel. The simple items included in a Personal Care Kit allow them to wash away the dirt and sweat, with the fresh sent of soap

and the softness of a towel as reminder of someone’s care and concern for them in their plight.

Our goal is to assemble 100 LWR Care Kits during Lent. Drop items off in the narthex or church office. Here’s our collection schedule:March 31: Combs (sturdy, please! No picks or fine toothed combs) April 7: Nail Clippers (metal, attached file optional)April 14: Bars of Soap (each kit includes 2 bars of soap)

Everyone is invited to join the Luther League in assembling our Personal Care Kits after the Good Friday service on April 19.

We can only assemble as many kits as we have bath towels: new, light-weight, preferably dark colored

bath towels (maximum 52”by 27”)

ARMENIA

Last year our kits went to

Armenia and

Zambia.
