The Lord's Supper is celebrated here in the confession and glad confidence that our Lord, as He says, gives not only bread and wine, but His very body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sin. In joyful obedience to the clear teaching of our Lord Jesus those are invited to His table who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us. They show forth His death until He comes. Because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold a confession differing from that of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and so are unable to receive the Sacrament are invited to meditate on God's Word in the distribution hymns and pray for the day when divisions will have ceased.

St. Paul hosted children and their families during the Outdoor Easter Egg Hunt on March 27. This event would not have been possible without the involvement of the congregation. There was overwhelming support, through volunteers who donated candy, filled eggs, worked at the event, and helped with set-up/tear down. Thank you for this amazing generosity. It was a blessing to be able to offer this event to church, school, and community families.

Women of the congregation are welcome to pick up the spring LWML Quarterly magazine in the back of church.

John 20:19 -- “Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’” The peace we have in Jesus is what makes a life of good works possible. Since we know that it is Jesus who saved us - not our works -  we are now free to do good works. Good works shouldn’t be done out of self-interest but for the right reasons – out of thanksgiving toward God and love for our neighbors.

Joy flourishes among volunteers at Michigan’s branch of Orphan Grain Train. With you we celebrate Christ’s resurrection victory and pray for you a blessed Easter. It is Jesus who also has given vitality to this Christian humanitarian mission. This Easter week marks the two-year anniversary of continuous operations at Orphan Grain Train–Michigan. We thank and praise God for enlivening your partnership in making international shipments to Kyrgyzstan, Panama, and with another fully ready this spring to people in need of a word well spoken, a bandage well applied, and a child well fed. Each shipment of aid and relief is accompanied with the message of Jesus’ resurrection and life.

On Sunday, April 11th, St. Lorenz’s monthly German worship service will be held at 11:00 am in the Church - 1030 W. Tuscola Rd., Frankenmuth. Continuing the celebration of our risen Lord, we are thankful for His giving of Himself for our salvation. A common thread in the Scriptures is Christians sharing beyond themselves. Such sharing builds supportive and enabling relationships which brings mutual joy. The service features German liturgy and an English sermon by Pastor Bill Hoesman entitled “Complete Joy” based on 1 John 1:4. Jordan Maurer will sing a solo „Ich habe g’nug, mein Jesus lebet noch“ (I am Content) and the congregation will join in singing favorite hymns: „Jesus, meine Zuversicht“ (Jesus Christ My Sure Defense), „Erstanden, erstanden ist Jesus Christ!“ (He’s Risen, He’s Risen), and „Jesus lebt, mit ihm auch ich“ (Jesus Lives! The Victory’s Won!).

The service will also be broadcast on Charter cable channel 191, on the St. Lorenz app., and livestreamed (and stored) on the St. Lorenz website at http://stlorenz.org/stream. At ‘Traditional Services” (on the left side), select the German service. Broadcast can also be accessed on your Smart TV (Roku, Apple TV, etc.) by typing in “St. Lorenz Church and School” and adding the channel. Prior German worship services can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/showcase/stlorenz-german. The next German worship service will be May 9th, 2021. Join us as we praise our risen Lord - Er ist erstanden, Halleluja!
