Good Shepherd friends, just a reminder that Pr. Scott will never text you and ask you to buy gift cards or seek your help with a project via text. Today, several folks were texted by someone pretending to be Pr. Scott asking for various things. If you received a text, please do NOT respond to it. Block the number and report it if you can. If you are ever unsure if a text is really from Pr. Scott, please call the church office at 775-329-0696.

During worship on March 8, Pastor Scott showed a segment of a video from the North Carolina ELCA Synod called "Seriously?" which shares experiences of women in ministry. Male colleagues read comments which female clergy have heard from church members and some male clergy. Check out the whole video here.

Actual things said to women pastors by parishioners and male pastors in the NC Lutheran Synod.

A prayer for our chaotic world. This prayer originally appeared in the Prayer Book for the Armed Services, which is a resource for chaplains and others in military service.
Eternal God, whose steadfast love never ends, we ask that you look upon the nations now engaged in war and hasten the day of peace. Look in mercy on those exposed to peril, conflict, sickness, and death; and show compassion to the dying. In your good providence, remove all causes and occasions of war. Incline the hearts of all people to follow the path to peace and concord, that war may cease and the day of reconciliation may come quickly, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Prayer Book for the Armed Services, p. 71)
