Sharon Lutheran Church: March 2007 Newsletter

The Golden Age Club will gather again on Friday, March 2, at 2:00 p.m. in the South Hall of the church. Please note that this is earlier in the month than the normal meeting date. Our program will feature one of the legendary hymn singers of the past, Tennessee Ernie Ford. By way of video we will hear some things about the life of Ernie and watch him as he sings hymns from the end of some of his television shows which aired between 1956 and 1965. We’ll hear hymns such as “The Old Rugged Cross”, “Rock of Ages”, “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”, “Peace in the Valley”, and many more. Bring a friend and plan to come for a fun and inspirational gathering. Lu Boyer and Imogene Bjornstad will bring the goodies.

Prayer shawl ministry is strong at Sharon Lutheran. This is the creation of special scarves or shawls for special times in people’s lives. They can be offered as comfort or in celebration or in recognition. Sometimes, prayer shawls are included in care baskets. It is an opportunity to spend time in fellowship and prayer. It is also a wonderful opportunity to learn or pass on the needlework traditions of knitting and crocheting. This group is open to all ages and we have yarn available for your use. This group meets monthly on the second Wednesday at 7:15pm and the following Thurs. at 10:00am. We are currently working on sending a large number of shawls to the Gulf Coast for people affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Sharon Lutheran Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. We share in conversation and reflection about the book we have read. How does this book speak of faith to us? What can we learn from it? What may have surprised us? What did we like? Dislike? Men and women high school age and older are invited. You may attend once or as many times as you wish. Here are the books selected for this coming program year:

March 2007 1984 by George Orwell

April 2007 The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey

May 2007 All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

June 2007 Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

July 2007 Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Sharon Lutherans Faith in Film groups had a great Fall and Winter. Since last Sept. we have viewed and discussed the following films:

The Spitfire Grill, Whale Rider, In America, The Family Stone, The Motorcycle Diaries and Akeelah and the Bee.

In addition to viewing and discussing these films we have also shared some pretty amazing potluck meals and fellowship together. March is the month where all three groups will come together at Sharon to see a film on the big screen.

That’s where you come in. If you like movies, good food and conversation we would love to have you join us on Friday, March 9 in Sharon’s Fellowship Hall at 6:30pm to watch a film, participate in discussion and share a meal. You don’t need to bring anything except yourself and your love of film. The existing Faith in Film groups will pro-
vide the food and beverages.

There will be an opportunity, following the film and discussion, to ask questions about Faith in Film and to sign up to join a Faith in Film small group. Questions? Call at the church office 772-3122. See you at the movies!
