With the beginning of April, we will celebrate Holy Week and Easter. We will have our festival worship services on April 2 (Maundy Thursday), April 3 (Good Friday), and April 5 (Easter Sunday).

I would ask that you pray for the Call Committee as they help to discern God’s Will for Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and School as you prepare to call a new senior pastor. Pray for the faculty and staff of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and School. Pray for one another and for the future of Our Redeemer. The call committee submitted the nominations for senior pastoral candidates to the district March 10, 2015. Approximately 30 different pastors from 34 nominations received were obtained from the members and staff by the committee and submitted to district. District is still compiling the background information, performance information and self-assessments of the candidates and expects to have that information back to the call committee by April 3, 2015. This would keep us on the schedule to make the call at the end of June of this year. Names of the candidates along with their background information will be made available to all members to review. We encourage everyone to be a part of this process. Please continue to pray for God’s guidance through this process. Nomination Committee Update The nomination Committee would like to invite all members of Our Redeemer to recommend candidates for nomination for the following positions: MMC President, MMC Vice President, and 4 at-large MMC seats. In accordance with the bylaws, candidates must be voting members, noted for their Christian knowledge, zeal, and experience in the spiritual work in God’s kingdom. The slate of candidates will be published at least one week prior to the next voter’s meeting. The policy manual also provides that anyone who chooses to nominate an individual must acquire that person’s permission to be nominated and must submit that person’s resume to the Nominating committee. Verbal resumes are acceptable to this committee. After Easter, I will go home to have foot surgery. I have postponed the surgery as long as I could from the beginning of January until right after Easter. If I could, I would postpone the foot surgery even later. My orthopedic surgeon would not accept my bargaining position. So I will have some fancy footwork accomplished by the surgeon on my right foot on April 7. I will be back on a knee scooter in the Spring. In the meantime, a number of pastors will cover on sight for me and I will direct ministry from afar as directed with the Elders. President Wille will preach the first two Sundays after Easter (April 12 and 19). Pastor Schroeder will be on deck for April 26. Pastors Wangerin and Sorenson from Mount Olive Lutheran Church will also be available for pastoral care. Pastors Schroeder, Wille, Wangerin and Sorenson will be available for pastoral care such as funerals, weddings, and baptisms while I am laid up. I ask for your prayers as I heal and prepare to come back to work with you. I will pray for you and for the Call Committee. In Christ, Rev. Martin J. Homan Intentional Interim Senior Pastor Please contact anyone on the committee with your nominations. The committee members are: Anne Christian, Greg Reiderer, Tom Balgeman, Carrie Tittl and Andy Tuler. Thanks for your assistance.

Speaker Elizabeth Murphy shared stories of four New Testament women who received invitations from Jesus and their unique responses to Him. Small group discussion followed each of Elizabeth’s four sessions, allowing attendees to dig deeper into God’s Word as well as getting to know each other better. A delicious lunch was enjoyed by all and a social hour following the retreat was enjoyed by many. We are blessed with a team of volunteers who worked together beautifully to bring the retreat to life. Thank you to Carrie Sadler who coordinated this spring’s event. Thank you to the team: Angie Kirchner, Lalia Knueppel, Penny Van Dellen, Dana Wegner, Sandy Conway, Denise Kegley, Stephanie Klenz, Marilyn Seefeld and Margie Hoffman. Your work is much appreciated!

What a great turn out - 124 men from 37 different congregations in North and South Wisconsin Districts, plus guests from Minnesota, Iowa, and Northern Illinois. The theme was, “The Samson Syndrome”, based on the book with the same name. The men looked at the problems Samson had with his spiritual life and how men living in our present day culture have many of the same problems. Many areas where men struggle today are no different than the problems Samson had. Some areas include: disregard for God’s boundaries in our life; struggle with lust; love for self and own ego; taking God’s blessings for granted; struggle with intimacy; and losing sight of God’s purpose for our life. VBS is taking our program to The SOS Center this summer. We would like to offer Everest: Conquering Challenges With God’s Mighty Power here at OR the week of July 19. In order to do so, co-directors are needed to coordinate the event. Is it you? Training, mentoring and volunteers are provided! To further discuss your place in this summer’s VBS program, please contact Gail Woods at gwoods214@gmail.com or kirsten.karraker@orlctosa.org. The retreat was a great opportunity for men to fellowship and make new friends; they had a great time praising the Lord with the Men Of The Cross praise band; and saw a great Christian movie, ”When The Game Stands Tall.” Here are a few comments from the men about their experience: “The retreat encouraged me to set spiritual goals for my life,” “My faith was strengthened this weekend,” “The retreat addressed major issues men face today,” “I grew spiritually this weekend,” “This weekend was a faith building experience,” “Outstanding breakout sessions,” “124 men joining in worship and singing was awesome and inspirational,” “The weekend made me take an inventory of my spiritual life.” NEW MEMBER BREAKFAST New members were welcomed with a breakfast in the Media Center on Sunday, March 15. Juan and Kattie Dominguez and their sons, Joaquin and Isaiah; Steve and Tracy Shada along with daughter Haley; Doris Johnson and sons Malcolm and Carlito; and Chantel Kuczmarski and her son Jacob were available to spend time getting to better know one another and learning more about ways to become more involved here at OR. If you would like to serve on the New Member Welcome Committee, please contact kirsten.karraker@orlctosa.org. We are already planning the 2016 Men’s Retreat and details will be available in August. If you would be interested in attending the 2016 retreat, email jnrberg67@gmail .com or phone Jim Berg at 414-462-5871. 6 Financial News “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 FROM BIRTH TO DEATH It seems like we just celebrated the birth of our Savior and soon we will be mourning yet rejoicing at His death and then His resurrection. In March my wife and I would have celebrated our 49 th wedding anniversary. She left me and all her earthly possessions to be with her Heavenly Father two and a half years ago. Yes, all her earthly possessions that she loved are still here. This includes her children and grandchildren. But through the grace of God even though she loved her “things and stuff’, her love for her Lord was greater as she served Him during her walk on earth. Jesus was born to serve us and He died so that through His death our sins are wiped away. What a gracious and loving God we have. All of us were born and cleansed at our baptism. All of us will also die and leave our worldly possessions. During your walk on earth, walk the Godly walk of love so you can leave something behind that is not considered a “thing or stuff’. Love your family and serve God by serving your Church that we call Our Redeemer. Choose what is lasting over what is temporary. Rev. 3:18: “I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” The Church has received $805,309 through your giving as of the end of February. We are grateful for that but realize our budget needs are $870,000 which leaves us $64,691 behind and well behind the $884,121 received last fiscal year through February. He is Risen Indeed for You, Marty Hedrich Our Redeemer Vision Statement Service: Disciples serve other Christians and members of the community with the attitude of Christ. Outreach: Disciples bring the Good News of Jesus Christ into our community and the world. Worship: People nurtured and inspired by Word and Spirit of God.

Thirty-five youths braved 12 hours of FUN, FOOD, FELLOWSHIP and NO SLEEP! A great time was had by all! Led by the team of Lizzy Tait, Trish Smith & Jamie Kohlmeier, all of the youth enjoyed a diverse program that kept them involved and active throughout the night. We all thank GOD for His messages through the leadership and efforts of Liz and her crew. 8 ORLS Forensics The official Forensics season has ended, State competition is March 28.

Denise Kegley Teacher, Grade 1 and Forensics Coach Wisconsin MLFA President 9 Our Redeemer Girls Earn Top Wisconsin Lego Robot Team, Will Compete in World Championship in St. Louis March 6, 2015, Wauwatosa, WI – After earning highest–honor Champion Awards at Regional, Sectional and State competitions for the design and programming of their Lego robot, six girls from Our Redeemer Lutheran School will represent Wisconsin as one of the US teams, competing with teams from around the world, at the FIRST Lego League (FLL) World Festival in St. Louis, MO April 22 – 25. The girls began competing in August against approximately 400 Wisconsin regional teams. The field narrowed through sectional competitions until last week’s 36-team FLL World ClassSM Wisconsin State Championship, where the girls took home the top prize. FLL competition is comprised of four linked events. At the beginning of the season, the team is given a challenge, then judged on their response and how they form their solution (Core Values). The team is also judged on how they work together, how they help others and how they balance competition and cooperation. Then they must create a Lego robot for the match, and are judged on the design and programming of the robot. Ultimately, this robot competes – and that is the final criterion for the judges. The girls, members of an Our Redeemer Girl Scout troop, are known as “Team LOL” (Lots of Legos). Members are Emma Johnson, Rebecca Gatewood, Janelle Johnson, Aleksey Hicks, Lauren Parsons and Natalie Wessel. Mentors are prior-year team members Hannah Willer and Jessica Gatewood. Coaches are Eric Johnson, Julie Wessel, Mark Willer and Brent Gatewood. The robot’s name is Guten Tag. Members of Team LOL can be recognized by their brightly-colored hats and energetic precompetition dance to their team song, Live Out Loud, by Steven Curtis Chapman. The girls say not only does this song fit the LOL theme, it reflects how they approach competition day, and every day, by living their dreams and pursuing them passionately. Visit Team LOL’s web page at http://fllteamlol.weebly.com/ 2015 FIRST® Championship The 2015 FIRST® Championship is expected to be larger than last April’s when in St. Louis, 648 teams comprising over 12,000 kids, ages 6 to 18, gathered to show off their science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills in the ultimate Sport for the Mind™! Whether competing with robots of their own design (middle and high-school level) or presenting research projects (elementary and middle-school level), FIRST participants offered a glimpse of our future workforce-in-the-making. FIRST®, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity, offers accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM disciplines, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills. 2014 FLL WORLD CLASS℠ Challenge What is the future of learning? FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) teams will find the answers. In the 2014 FLL WORLD CLASS℠ Challenge, over 265,000 children from 80 countries will redesign how we gather knowledge and skills in the 21st century. Teams will teach adults about the ways that kids need and want to learn. Get ready for a whole new class – FLL WORLD CLASS! FLL Challenge: Overview and History In early fall, FLL releases a Challenge, which is based on a real-world scientific topic. Each Challenge has three parts: the Robot Game, the Project, and the FLL Core Values. Teams of up to ten children, with at least one adult coach (two coaches required in U.S./Canada), participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field (Robot Game), developing a solution to a problem they have identified (Project), all guided by the FLL Core Values. Teams may then attend an official tournament, hosted by one of our FIRST LEGO League Partners. Past Challenges have been based on topics such as nanotechnology, climate, quality of life for the handicapped population, and transportation. By designing our Challenges around such topics, participants are exposed to potential career paths within a chosen Challenge topic, in addition to solidifying the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles that naturally come from participating in the program. Team members also learn valuable life and employment skills which will benefit them no matter which career path they choose. - See more at: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/challenge/thechallenge#sthash.PBoAURmA.dpuf 10 Sunday Monday Tuesday 3:30 pm Daisy Scouts Troop #8947 8:00 pm Adult Coed VBall 5 Easter Sunday 7:00, 9:00 & 11:00 am Worship 8:00 am Easter Breakfast begins Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 1 2 Maunday Thursday 6:30am Men's Bible Study— 11:00 am & 6:30 pm Denny's; Women’s Bible Worship Study—El Greco; Men’s Bible Study - Capital Cafe 3:30 pm 4K Dance Class 4:30 pm Confirmation 5:00 pm Lenten Supper 7:30 pm Morning Praise Rehearsal 3 Good Friday No School 12:15 & 6:30 pm Worship 4 10 8:30 am Women’s Bible Study 6:30 pm Cub Scout Pack 154 11 9:00 am Den 4 Scouts 10:00 am 5K Dance Class Makeup 6 Church Office Closed—No School 6:30 am Men’s Bible Study @ Denny’s 6:30 pm MMC Mtg 7 8:00 pm Adult Coed VBall 8 6:30am Men's Bible Study— Denny's; Women’s Bible Study—El Greco; Men’s Bible Study - Capital Cafe 3:30 pm 4K Dance Class 4:30 pm Confirmation 6:30 pm Worship/ Communion 7:30 pm Morning Praise Rehearsal 12 13 8:00 & 11:00 am 6:30 am Men's Bible Traditional Worship Study at Denny's 9:30 am Contemporary Worship 9:30 & 10:45 am Adult Bible Study 9:30 & 10:45 am Sunday School 14 12:30 pm Game Day 8:00 pm Adult CoEd Vball 15 16 6:30am Men's Bible Study— 9:30 am Adult Bible Denny's; Women’s Bible Class Study—El Greco; Men’s Bible Study - Capital Cafe 3:30pm 4K Dance Class 4:30pm Confirmation 6:00pm Women's Bible Study 6:30 pm Worship 7:30pm Morning Praise Rehearsal 17 18 9:00 am Grandmas InC Bible Study 1:30 pm 5K Dance Recital 6:00 pm Father/ Daughter Dance 19 Communion 8:00 & 11:00 am Traditional Worship 9:30 am Contemporary Worship 9:30 & 10:45 am Adult Bible Study 9:30 & 10:45 am Sunday School 4:00 pm Blue & Gold Dinner 21 8:00 pm Adult CoEd Vball 22 23 6:30am Men's Bible Study— 9:30 am Adult Bible Denny's; Women’s Bible Study Study—El Greco; Men’s Bible Study - Capital Cafe 4:30pm Confirmation 6:00pm Women’s Bible Study 6:30 pm Worship/ Communion 7:30pm Morning Praise Rehearsal 24 8:30 am Women’s Bible Study 25 9:00 am Quilting Marathon 28 3:30 pm Daisy Scouts 8:00 pm Adult Coed Vball 29 30 6:30am Men's Bible Study— 9:30 am Adult Bible Denny's; Women’s Bible Study Study—El Greco; Men’s Bible Study - Capital Cafe 4:30pm Confirmation 6:00pm Women’s Bible Study 6:30 pm Worship 7:30pm Morning Praise Rehearsal 20 6:30 am Men's Bible Study at Denny's 6:00 pm Women’s Bible Study 26 27 8:00 & 11:00 am 6:30 am Men’s Bible Traditional Worship Study @ Denny’s 9:30 am Contemporary Worship 9:30 & 10:45 am Adult Bible Study 9:30 & 10:45 am Sunday School 10:45 am Confirmation Prayer Partner Brunch 11 9 9:30 am Adult Bible Study 6:30 pm Festival Choir God’s blessings to You!
