- By Pastor Laura Phillips, Palisade Lutheran/First Lutheran Church, Valley SpringsMay 26, 2020“O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!” Psalm 71 Have you noticed that sometimes the shortest of prayers are the best prayers? The verse above is a great example of that. Psalm 71 is a prayer for help, a lament that asks God for refuge, for protection and for hope. There are always many reasons to call upon the Lord, but we cry out for help especially now in…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneMay 19, 2020What if the coronavirus keeps us sheltered in our homes for the next month, two months or three? What if I am diagnosed with Covid-19? What if my place of employment never reopens? What if I lose my business? What if I lose a loved one to the coronavirus? What if the coronavirus is an elaborate scheme of some type? What if there is no cure found for the…

- By Pastor Ann Zastrow, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 05, 2020As the weather is getting nicer out, I have been walking more around my neighborhood. I have enjoyed seeing the grass turn from winter brown, to a few blades of light green, to darker green lawns .I have watched the trees and bushes go from bare branches to little leaf buds. Some trees actually looked yellow as the green leaves popped out in their light green baby clothes. Neighbors have…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneApril 28, 2020(Read John 20:19-22, Luke 24:13-35) A few weeks ago the Coronavirus crisis came upon us with a sudden rash of closings and life changes. Much confusion ensued, and several people I knew seemed to be panicking. As this unfolded over several days, I started to think about a passage from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. There is a place deep into the story when Hobbit Sam is…
- By Becky Ossefort, children and youth coordinator, American Reformed Church, LuverneApril 21, 2020“God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.” It was a phrase uttered regularly after the release of the “God’s Not Dead” movie a few years ago. Such a simple statement I have believed in my heart since I was a little girl. I still hear people say the phrase, but perhaps not as often as I did when the movie was first released. Yet it is something I have reminded myself, and others, of…

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneApril 14, 2020“On the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were together behind locked doors because of their fear of the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:19-20) Are you afraid? Are you anxious? Are you worried? Right now, as our…

- By Gary Klatt, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneApril 07, 2020We are experiencing life like we have never seen it before. This threat of Covid-19 is hitting us like nothing we have ever known. It is on a path to shut down our lives and quarantine us in our homes for an indefinite period of time. All this is precautionary so that we don’t experience a lot of deaths. But don’t lose hope in who you are and in the God that has claimed you as His own. This…

- By Rev. Maggie Berndt-Dreyer, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, HillsMarch 31, 2020How long, O Lord? Psalm 13 opens with this question which I find fitting for our current situation. How long is this going to last? How long are we going to be asked to neglect our need to socialize? How long until we can visit our loved ones who live in care facilities? How long until we can assemble in person for worship? How long, O Lord? The trouble is, we…
