- 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…

- By Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneMarch 24, 2020How do you live in the unknown? Fox News Headlines on Saturday said, “LA County moves on from containing coronavirus, gives up on testing some patients.” So what does that mean to us? There are multiple stories about “lockdowns, stay-at-home policies.” So many unknowns, who and what do you trust? King David, speaking of God, said, “They cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he…

- By Laura Phillips, Palisade Lutheran/First Lutheran, Valley Springs, South DakotaMarch 17, 2020We find ourselves in an uncertain time, one in which we may feel out of control and anxious about things that are new and different: COVID-19, school closings, stock market plunging, self-quarantines, churches and businesses wondering whether to stay open … with bills that still need to be paid, and our store shelves lacking some basic supplies.
