- By Pastor Laura Phillips, Palisade Lutheran/First Lutheran Church, Valley SpringsDecember 21, 2020“And [the angel Gabriel] came to [Mary] and said, ‘Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.’ ” Luke 1:28 This week I was reminded several times of this: to wonder at the wonder of the familiar Christmas story. For example, like when the archangel Gabriel (who first appears several hundred years earlier to the prophet Daniel) breaks into Mary’s ordinary day with, “Greetings, favored one! The…

- By Pastor Ann Zastrow, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneDecember 15, 2020“Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm …” We all know this beloved Christmas carol, and may have fond memories of singing it, likely with a lit candle in hand, seeing the faces of family and friends bathed in soft light, warm and snuggly at the end of the Christmas Eve worship service, before heading back out into the cold and snow to go back home. But that’s not how the first Silent Night went.…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneDecember 08, 2020We’re journeying through December toward Christmas, so I invite you to consider some of those who journeyed to see the newborn king. Those shepherds in the wide open fields were the first to receive the message of God’s great action of grace. Their lives were repetitive, perhaps even monotonous. Most every day looked the same. And then they received news that changed their lives … and the world!…

- By Pastor Roger Sparks, Luverne Christian Reformed ChurchDecember 01, 2020In some congregations candles are lit on each of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. We call those four Sundays the season of advent because we prepare to celebrate anew the advent (coming) of the Son of God when He was born to live among us and to do a great work of salvation. The birth of Jesus was and still is good news! When we look at world history and current events, it is obvious…

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneNovember 23, 2020As Thanksgiving approaches and especially on the Day, individuals and families often reflect on what they have to be thankful for over the past year. Many families have had significant events taking place. A young (or older!) couple getting married. A little baby is born. A new addition to the family. Graduations. Wedding anniversaries. A special milestone birthday celebration. There are so many…

- By DCE Jessica Blocker, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneNovember 17, 2020In October we took a “Sheracation,” the first-ever trip where our dog, Shera, was able to come with us. I’ve heard some people express that they love seeing places and experiences through their children’s eyes – but have you ever thought about seeing things through a pet’s? Traveling with Shera was a great reminder to be thankful for simple things, which I continue to reflect on as we are in the…

- By Pastor Gary Mikkelson, interim pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, HillsNovember 10, 2020The gem that I would like to begin with for this article is found in Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. In the verses preceding, the apostle Paul has…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneNovember 03, 2020Is God in control of the election? If you are a Trump supporter and Biden is elected, you may wonder how did God allow this to happen. If you are a Biden supporter and Trump was reelected, you may wonder as well how did God allow this to happen. I am writing this column prior to the election, so I don’t know the outcome and I am not sure even at the time you are reading this if the country will…
