St. John's Group Email Jeremy Klaustermeier needs your help

Hey everyone,

One of my wonderful friends, not sure who (they get to remain anonymous), nominated me to be "arrested" for Jerry's Kids (The Muscular Dytrophy Association).  I get to be arrested on May 19. 



My bail has been set at $1,000.00 and if everyone I know makes a tax-deductible donation, I'll reach my goal quickly!

Just click here to make a secure, online donation before 05/19/11. This is a fun event benefiting individuals and families served by MDA who are affected by neuromuscular disease. I am honored to partner with MDA, and help this important cause.

Don't hesitate to call or e-mail me with any questions.

Thanks in advance for your help. Together we'll make a difference.

Pastor

P.S. I'm counting on you, click here to donate.

It's that time again!!
 
On Thursday, May 5, 2011 we are hosting a National Day of Prayer observance like we did last year.  We are serving a continental breakfast in the church overflow area from 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM.  Everyone is invited. 
 
At 7:00 AM Pastor Klaustermeier will begin a prayer and devotion time in our sanctuary with music by Gene Hilgendorf.
 
You all have another opportunity to help out by donating the items for the breakfast.  We did have a pretty good turnout last year; but we never really know how many to expect.  I believe the following list should be plenty to serve the folks who come that morning.  Hopefully, some of our Little Lambs and their parents will be able to attend before school begins at 8:15 AM.  And...hopefully more of our St. John's family will be there to greet and meet all of our guests from the neighborhood!  We have had many folks from other Christian churches in Warrenton join us and that has been a real blessing to get to know other believers in Jesus.

DEVOTION: 
And when He (Jesus) drew near and saw the city, He wept over it. Luke 19:41


For all but three years of my parish ministry I had a parochial school.

That means I had a quarter-century of opening-day emotions. On that day I often tried to get down to the kindergarten to help with the tears, the sobs, the feeling of loneliness and lostness ... and that was from the moms.

Sometimes I was even asked to help with the children who were upset.

Most of the time our teachers took care of things. They would take a child to the side, give a hug, and talk quietly and patiently with the distraught little one. It was amazing to see the miraculous transformation those teachers could bring about.

Apparently a kindergarten in Virginia Beach, Virginia, has a different technique.

There a kindergartner, Bronson Clark, was upset about having to leave mom. He was so upset he did some serious crying. For that grave infraction of the rules the little one was given an out-of-school suspension. You see this particular kindergarten has a zero-tolerance policy in regard to children disturbing a class -- and a lonely child's tears are a disturbance.

It is my hope that you and all those you know do not have a similar policy in regard to Jesus and the tears He shed.

If you look at the Savior's life, you will find a number of times He cried. Jesus cried at the tomb of His dead friend, Lazarus; He cried for the city of Jerusalem, which He knew, in a few short years, would be destroyed; He cried out from the cross as He allowed Himself to be sacrificed for our forgiveness and salvation.

Did you ever think there is a pattern there? Look carefully and you will see Jesus always cried and cried out for others ... not for Himself. Yes, in the Garden of Gethsemane He prayed, if it were possible, that the cup of suffering might be removed from Him, but even there Jesus put us first.

The depth of Jesus' concern for the world's sinners is something beyond my understanding. If I had been in the Savior's place and looking at Jerusalem in the distance, I would not have been brought to tears by her upcoming destruction.

On the contrary, I probably would have murmured something like: "Reject me, will you? Jerusalem, you're looking at some nasty times ahead. You can count on them. After all you have rejected me, haven't you?"

This is just one of the many reasons why Jesus is the Savior and I am the person being saved; it's the reason I'm the sinner being rescued and He's God's Son who is doing the rescuing.

And that's why -- as a forgiven and redeemed sinner -- I'm going to try to live in a way that will make the Savior smile and not cry.

THE PRAYER: Lord, I give thanks that Jesus cared so much for sinners. Now, as a redeemed member of the family of faith, may I live in a way that shows my appreciation. In His Name. Amen.

St. John's Group Email Prayer request for Robyn McNew's brother Ken Meyer

Below is an urgent prayer request from Robyn McNew. 
 

My brother Ken had cardiac arrest last night maybe like 4 times for 3-5 minutes each. They operated and fixed the 100% blockage, but he is unresponsive. They don't know if he has any brain damage, and if so, how extensive it is. They are performing a protocol where they cool his body to 33 degrees and wait to see if it can stabilize. We might know if he is going to wake up in the next 3 days. Please pray for him and my family that is still saddened by my brother Kevin's death in August. He is gravely ill in ICU at DePaul Hospital in St. Ann.

 

Robyn McNew
