“It’s a thrilling ride when you try to go where God is leading,” says Principal John Jacob of Bethel Lutheran School in Morton, Ill. Bethel stepped out in faith to start a new Lutheran high school with only eight families and two teachers. Today, the program is flourishing. In this issue, you’ll find several such stories about Lutherans who have been presented with unusual and exciting opportunities to share the Gospel, from a new Lutheran church plant in Rome to a home for children with albinism in Tanzania to a church reaching out to its Hispanic community in Texas.

Don’t Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart
Offers real-world advice on how to relate to those who are suffering. The reader will learn what to say and do – and what NOT to say or do – when people are hurting. The book is a valuable resource for those who work in a caregiving field, as well as for volunteers or anyone who wants to relate to people who are suffering in ways that ease their pain, instead of adding to their burden.

Both books are available for loan in Zion’s library, located in our large conference room downstairs, or for purchase at: www.stephenministries.org

Good Friday Slide Show

John 19:17-27 
So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” 

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, 

“They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” 

So the soldiers did these things, but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
