An invitation to a Seder Meal
On the night before his death Jesus met with his disciples in the upper room to celebrate the Passover and the Seder Meal. This meal is one of the most sacred and solemn holidays of the Jewish faith. It also has much symbolism to Christians as they journey through Lent, Holy Week, and ultimately celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. On Palm Sunday, March 28, at 3:00pm, members and friends of Fish Lake Lutheran will have the opportunity to reflect on the Jewish rituals, the story from Exodus, and the various parallels to the Christian faith again this year. There will be traditional seder foods and a full meal. We will end by worshiping and sharing Holy Communion with one another. You and your family and friends are invited to make this evening part of your Lenten journey this year. The cost of this opportunity is $7 per person or $28 per family. Reservations are required no later than March 24th for planning purposes. Please sign up after church downstairs or by calling the church office at 651-674-4252.

Food Shelf Sunday! In case you didn't know, or simply as a reminder, the fourth Sunday of the month at Fish Lake is Food Shelf Sunday. The Women of the ELCA group serves as coffee hour hostess that Sunday and all proceeds from the free-will offering always go towards the local food shelves. In addition to your financial free-will offerings, items that are always needed for the food shelf include: soups/stews, mac-n-cheese, canned fruit, tuna, juice/juice boxes, spaghetti sauce, baked beans, peanut butter/jelly, seasoned pasta and rice mixes, shampoo/soap/toothpaste, toilet paper and paper towels. So please come prepared next Sunday, the fourth Sunday of the month, to support our local Food Shelf. Coffee hosts are always needed to serve on Sundays after worship on the 1st and 3rd and occasionally 5th Sunday of each month. Treats are provided so all you need to do is serve and clean up. Sign up on the bulletin board downstairs or contact Julie Osborne, Marilyn Wicklund or the church office. Do you know that you can help our church by purchasing gift cards for everyday items such as gas, food, dining and clothes? You purchase the gift card at retail price and the church gets a percentage of each card purchased.
