MARCH 2020—Green Pastures Page 1
F r o m t h e P a s t o r By Pastor David K. Groth
“ P u t o n t h e S p o t ” A few months ago, when I saw my
doctor for a regular check-up, he expressed concern. “We have to
find a way to take X pounds off of you, and I’m not sure how we’re
going to do that.” Then followed a long silence as he considered my
chart. Eventually, he broke the silence. “If I were to poke around
your pantry right now, would I find potato chips in it?” I smiled
and answered, “No.” “And if I were to look in your freezer, would I
find ice cream?” Again, I smiled and said “nope.” Then, followed
another pause. He furrowed his brow. “What did you eat for lunch
today?!” By tone it wasn’t so much a question as an indictment, and
he had me dead to rights. I told him the truth. “I was short on
time and groceries in the fridge so I went to Kwik Trip and got a
breakfast burrito and a cheeseburger.” He put me on the spot that
day. Now, please allow me to put you on the spot. When was the last
time you invited someone to Good Shepherd?! When was the last time
you offered to pick someone up and bring them here?! Feeling
convicted yet? When was the last time you witnessed to an
individual that Jesus died for him/her, and with Jesus there is
forgiveness and salvation?! “You are the light of the world” Jesus
once told his followers. “No one lights a lamp and puts it under a
basket”, he said. That would be foolish. No, “he puts it on a stand
so it can give light to everyone in the house.” He said this not to
the religious elite of the day, but to the crowds of ordinary men
and women and children who were following him around Galilee. He
said it (and is saying it) to people like you and me. The devil,
the world, and our own sinful flesh desperately wants us to keep
the faith quiet, personal, and intensely private. But Jesus will
have none of it. “You are the light of the world.” Let your light
shine! Let it do what he created it to do. Apparently, Jesus
believes the world can be a place of deep darkness and in need of
your light. So, in all your relationships, in all your
involvements, in all your professional and leisurely activities,
find a way to let your light shine. The doc didn’t have much Gospel
for me that day. I know he cares for me, but it was mostly law
coming from his mouth. He leaned in and let me have it.

Similarly, I don’t have much Gospel for you today. Just know
that it comes with love and concern for you and for the Lord’s
church. “You are the light of the world.” Be out with it. There is
no such thing as a personal and private Christian faith. Hide it
under a bushel? No! Let your light shine!

F r o m t h e P r i n c i p a l By Amy Gromowski
“ B . L . A . S . T . ”
B i b l e L e a r n i n g An d S o n g T i m e
We are faced with a new challenge this year at Good Shepherd
Lutheran School. Let
me give you a brief history. Over the past 20 years I’ve been in
education I have seen a
dramatic change of clientele in the parents of students enrolled
in Lutheran schools. Twenty
years ago most students and their families were active members
of the school’s congrega-
tion. Ten years ago about 50% of the families in the school were
active in the congregation,
another 25% were members but not active at church, and the
remaining 25% were from the
community—mostly members of other congregations without schools.
About five years ago,
we saw a shift of population in our school parents. Almost all
had been raised in a church
but the number of inactive parents, although still members of a
congregation, now outnum-
bered the active parents. This year we are facing a new scenario
previously unknown to us:
We have a new generation of parents that was NOT raised in the
church and lacks even the
most basic knowledge of Bible teachings. While it’s saddening to
see this decline of society,
our staff quickly realized what an amazing opportunity we had to
share the Good News of
Jesus and his plan of salvation.
First, we needed to find out the problems. Why weren’t these
parents interested in
church? Here are a few reasons we collected:
“I don’t understand what everyone is saying in the books
(liturgy) and what it
means. I feel stupid not knowing what’s going on.”
“It’s confusing with the papers and the books.”
“I don’t have good enough clothes to wear for church.”
“Churches are intimidating. It makes me uncomfortable to be in
there.”
“It’s boring. I don’t understand any of it.”
-
MARCH 2020—Green Pastures Page 3
I am not telling you these things to undermine our worship
practices, space, or
traditions, but rather to ask you to think about these things in
the context of someone who
has never experienced “church.” Once we got past the idea of how
parents should want to
be in church, we started to understand how unchurched parents
were feeling and realized
we needed to find a way to meet these people where they were
at.
After much prayer and brainstorming, the staff has embarked on a
new avenue
specifically geared toward ministry by instructing this next
parental generation. Every Friday
afternoon at 2:15pm we open the doors of the fellowship hall for
a brief time of parent/
grandparent socialization. The students join the parents at
2:30pm for our Bible Learning
And Song Time (B.L.A.S.T.) For the next half of an hour we do an
activity (skits/ interviews
with Bible characters/ etc.) that teaches basic Bible teachings
(this last week was the fall of
Adam and Eve), prayer, and singing contemporary Christian
songs.
With the school as the primary mission of our congregation we
take our roles as
missionaries to the community very seriously. B.L.A.S.T. is
another extension of our Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church ministry that we are using to share the
love of Jesus with those
God has put in our path.
Check us out at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4CbU3yOltE&t=755s. We
would
love to have you join us in person or online!
In His Service,
Amy Gromowski, Principal

P a r i s h N u r s e H e a l t h N o t e
By Bonnie Mihal
“ C o l d a n d F l u S e a s o n I s N o t O v e r ”
There are more cold and flu cases in WI now than all season.
Both are spread from person to person by droplets of moisture when
an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks or touches surfaces after
coughing, sneezing or blowing their nose. This person is infectious
from one day before having symptoms to 3-7 days after.
What can we do? Certainly flu shots are very beneficial and are
still being given. Unfortunately there is no immunization for the
common cold which can spread very quickly at home, school or
work.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has several
recommendations. Number one is flu vaccine. Number two is everyday
prevention to stop the spread of germs. Avoid close contact with
those that are sick. Stay home from school or work if you are ill
until 24 hours after you are without fever. Cover your nose and
mouth when you cough or sneeze. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or
mouth since that’s how you spread germs. Children should be taught
to keep fingers and pencils and toys out of their mouths. (For
younger children avoid toys that can’t be washed and wash those
that are washable.) Clean tables, desks and bedside stands that
could be contaminated.
Often, we forget about afghans, blankets and pillows etc. that
are around the house. Limit the ill child to one blanket and use a
bed pillow versus a sofa pillow so the pillow case can be washed.
Use Kleenex and place a disposal bag near where the ill person is
so the tissues can be disposed of properly. (Soiled tissues cannot
be recycled.) Don’t share wash cloths or towels. Be a good example
for your children to practice infection control. Don’t forget to
clean keyboards, door knobs and phones.
Hand washing is important for everyone. Use soap and warm water
and rub all hand and finger surfaces for at least 20 seconds. Hand
sanitizer is OK if soap and water are not available. It should be
at least 60% alcohol.
Prevention can also include plenty of outside fresh air and
plenty of sleep. Avoid excessive stress which decreases your
immunity. Laughter can actually increase your body defenses
also.
Some foods are beneficial:
• chicken soup will free up congested airways and it also
provides anti-oxidants and protein to fight the illness
• garlic provides natural decongestant and strengthens
immunity
• dark chocolate suppresses cough- 2 ounces gives as much cough
relief as OTC medications
• orange juice boosts the immune system in fighting germs
• bananas encourage mucous production in the stomach to decrease
GI distress
• yogurt contains healthy bacteria that can increase to fight
off flu
• tea is an antioxidant that reduces inflammation. It also
lubricates mucous mem-branes and frees congested airways.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the au-thorities, against the cosmic powers over
this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand firm.”

“ G O D C RE AT E S A W O R L D AN D A K I N G DOM ” Save the
Date! Get ready to punch your ticket for the “Rocky Railway” as we
discover how trusting in Jesus pulls us through life’s ups &
downs. VBS will be June 8-12. We are looking for
Leaders and Decorators! Huge thank you to Abigail Grosnick for
volunteering to be the VBS leader this year! We are still looking
for a co-leader. There are several on-going adult bible studies
that we would like to feature this month. Take a look at these
excellent opportunities to expand your faith and enjoy great
fellowship! • Sunday morning class between services, led by Ron
Willie: Finishing last lessons of a video study of the
topic of evolution. Next topic will focus on the Gospel Books of
the New Testament. • Monday evening (except 2nd Monday of each
month), Women's Bible Study. Led by Charlotte Groth,
meets at Good Shepherd School, topic: Bible Recap, Chronological
Order, currently in the book of Genesis. • Tuesday evening (1st and
3rd Tuesday evenings), meets at Pastor and Mrs Thompson's home,
studying
Truth Project—very thought provoking video series. • Thursday,
bible study meets at the residence of Dorothy Degnitz on the 1st
and 3rd Thursdays of each
month. Topics focus on various Bible Study Guides. • Saturday
Men’s Bible Breakfast, led by Ron Willie. During the month of
March, your children’s Sunday School classes will be discussing the
following Bible lessons: March 1 – A Mercy-Full Message: In this
week’s lesson, “A Mercy-Full Message,” Jesus tells the famous
parable of the Good Samaritan, who risks his own life to help a
Jewish man whose peril was ignored by his own countrymen. In
telling the parable, Jesus answers the question “Who is my
neighbor?” for His followers as He challenges us to “go, and do
likewise” (Luke 10:37). As a family, you could discuss ideas to
help those in need in your community. March 8 - A Prayer Lesson: “A
Prayer Lesson” is the title of this week’s Bible lesson. With
Jesus’ disciples, we, too, implore, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke
11:1). Jesus teaches His disciples—and all humankind—the prayer
used throughout the Church to this day. Jesus follows His
instruction with a parable illustrating how our heavenly Father
unfailingly hears all our prayers. As a family, challenge one
another to recite the Lord’s Prayer from memory. March 15 - A
Shepherd Loves: This week’s Bible lesson is “A Shepherd Loves.”
Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd as He promises to lead and
guide His sheep. Jesus willingly laid down His life for His sheep,
even those who often ignore the voice of the Shepherd. His flock
includes “other sheep” (John 10:16), Gentiles not descended from
Abraham. David’s familiar Twenty-third Psalm describes the work of
our Good Shepherd. Discuss, “When do we often hear Psalm 23
spoken?” March 22 – A Tree View: In this week’s lesson, “A Tree
View,” students learn about Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector, who
anxiously awaits the arrival of Jesus. Short of stature, Zacchaeus
climbs a tree to see the Savior. Despite criticism, Jesus invites
Himself to the tax collector’s home. Motivated by Christ’s
compassion, Zacchaeus confesses his sin and promises to make
restitution. Families could discuss, “How does Jesus motivate you
to make a difference in your world?” March 29 – A Crushing Truth:
This week’s lesson is “A Crushing Truth.” The events of Christ’s
crucifixion unfold in a series of brutal and bloody vignettes:
questioned before Pilate, mocked and abused by the Roman guard,
nailed to the cross. Jesus hangs between life and death—abandoned
by His Father—yielding up His life at the moment He chooses.
Multiple witnesses see where Christ is laid in a borrowed tomb.
Discuss how you can remember the crucifixion of Christ. Please talk
with your children each Sunday and listen to them as they tell you
about the lessons they’ve learned in Sunday School. Sincerely, The
Board of Parish Education Tanya Demetropoulos, Laura Dobbratz,
Becky Raether, Jan Schadt, Jan Neitzel, Heather Steinhart
