Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
YOU Are A Child of God
We all know the story. Jesus was asked
which commandment was the most
important. He answered, “The most
important one says: ‘You must love God with all your
heart, soul, mind, and strength.’ The second most
important commandment says: ‘Love others as much as
you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more
important than these.” (Based on Mark 12:29-31)
If we emphasize the “love others as much as you love
yourself” part, we are not being self-centered. You might
be thinking that you treat others BETTER than you treat
yourself, and that’s all too common. Most of us have the
bad habit of “damaging self-talk.” We are usually rather
harsh and unforgiving with ourselves in our inner
dialogue. There is much truth to the statement that we
are often our OWN worst enemies.
But that not what Jesus was saying here. Not at all.
I was reminded by a friend of mine that we are called to
love others AS we love ourselves. Jesus did not say that
we are called to love others INSTEAD of ourselves. Love
of self is not selfishness, egotism, or arrogance. Love of
self is self-care. You are a child of God, a beneficiary of
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and a baptized
member of God’s family. So I’d say the message is clear
– you are worthy, and worthy of self-care.
We need self-care because we are human and limited, not
because we are weak. We need to love ourselves to
maintain the healthy mind, body, and spirit needed to do
God’s work. Now I admit that the church makes crazy
demands on many of us. And sometimes, for the sake of
self-love, I encourage you to say NO once in a while. Say
NO to another meeting or another commitment, and then
don’t ruin your day by worrying about the thing or person
to whom you said NO. Put it in God’s hands. Better yet,
remember that YOU are in God’s hands. You are a child
of God. And you model Christ’s behavior when you love
others AS you love yourself, not INSTEAD of yourself.
Easier said than done? Yes. Impossible? Nope!
Peace!
Interim Pastor Bob Friese

LIBRARY REVIEW
“The Boy Who Came Back From
Heaven”
By Kevin and Alex Malarkey
This is a true story of a boy’s extraordinary
experiences after a terrible car crash. Alex survives the
car crash, but is paralyzed and spends two months in a
coma. When he comes out of the coma, he has an
incredible story to tell. As you see heaven and earth
through Alex’s eyes, you will get new insights on
miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of love
and prayer.

LUTHER POINT FUND RAISER: FLAMINGO
FLOCKING RETURNS!
Don’t be surprised if you see an abundance of pink
flamingo lawn ornaments in yards around
town. Flamingo flocking is a fund raiser for Luther Point
Bible Camp. If you wake up and find a flock of
flamingos in your yard, you will find a tag tied to the
flamingos that says: “To get rid of this flock of
flamingos, please call Minda Matthys at 715-220-8837
and give a $10 donation to the St. John’s Youth Fund to
send our youth to Bible Camp. To get rid of this flock of
flamingos and pick whose house the flamingos will go to
next, give a $20 donation to the St. John’s Youth
Fund. To get rid of this flock of flamingos, pick whose
house the flamingos go to next and find out who sent
them to your house, give a $25 donation to the St.
John’s Youth Fund.” If you would rather not find a flock
of flamingos in your yard, you may purchase Flamingo
Insurance for a $25 donation to the St. John’s Youth
Fund. Insurance “policies” are located on the oak
cabinet in the Narthex. Complete the form, attach your
donation and give to Minda Matthys. Please send the
flamingos only to people who live within Spring Valley.
LUTHER POINT CAMP FUND RAISING MEETING
There will be a short meeting after worship on May 10
for all campers and parents to discuss fund raisers to

A TASTE FROM THE PAST
As we are looking at celebrating St. John’s 125th
Anniversary, here is an egg bake recipe that St. John’s
Youth Group used to make many years ago. The pastor
was David Larson and the youth group leaders were Don
& Diane Gavic and Earl & Karen Gunderson.
This recipe was submitted by Nancy Cleveland who
received the recipe from Michelle Johnson.
New Horizon’s Fluffy Eggs
6 slices bread, crusts removed
½ lb. grated Cheddar cheese
1 C. diced ham
2 tsp. mustard powder
1 tsp. salt
4 C. milk
8 eggs
Grease 9 x 13 pan. Place bread in bottom of pan.
Cover with cheese and ham. Beat remaining
ingredients. Pour over cheese and ham. Refrigerate
overnight. Bake at 350o for 1 hour.
