Pastoral Response to Richfield Shooting -
To our House of Prayer Family,

This morning we awoke to news of violence just down 76th Street from us; and way too close to our beloved neighbors at Woodlake Lutheran. We grieve every death and we grieve every injury. We pray for mental and physical healing for the officer and for God’s wisdom in guiding their care teams. We pray that the victim’s family knows that their loved one is important. There are a number of details we don’t know yet; but there are plenty of things we don’t need details to affirm:

We affirm that our neighbor who was killed bore the image of God in the world, at every minute, including their last moments.

We affirm that we are called to “seek the welfare of the city” no matter where we find ourselves. (Jeremiah 29:7) And a community where anyone has to look through strangers’ cars for their daily bread is not tending to its people (and we know that that includes us).

We lament that too much blood has been shed in the streets of our community this winter and spring.

And we remember that just this month, we as Christians gathered around our story of our own publicly executed Savior. We glorify Jesus. We honor him as the Prince of Peace; the one who turns swords into ploughshares and weapons into pruning hooks. (Isaiah 2:4) The one who calls us – all of us – to do the same.

We are here with you, as pastors and as neighbors/congregation. We know you may have questions that may not have answers. We know that you may need someone to talk with as you process your own response. Reach out to us as you have need in light of this tragedy.

Today's Worship - Christ is Risen Indeed, Alleluia!
Matthew’s account of the Easter story includes a rumbling earthquake as the tomb is opened, an angel revealing that Jesus is not here. As the women go to share this news with their brothers and sisters, they encounter the risen Christ. It’s a story we know well, but each time we encounter it God inspires us in new ways. Go, tell the others, the tomb is empty, death has been defeated. Alleluia!!
