AS I WRITE this article on February 10th, the Coronavirus epidemic continues to capture the headlines, the recent wide fires in Australia are still somewhat fresh in our minds, and the nightly news is a constant reminder that we are indeed living in a fallen, broken world. In the last two weeks, I’ve attended the funerals of two younger friends who have been struggling with health problems for years. And on March 5th, I too will be undergoing surgery for prostate cancer, for which your prayers will be greatly appreciated. Indeed, as we read in Romans 8:22: “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.” “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 15:57 (-Ken Koehler, Volunteer Coordinator for Main Street Living North)
Special programming for the Easter Season begins on Palm Sunday, April 5. Palm Sunday will be a one hour tour of the Holy Land. The documentary “The Holy Land-The Eternal Rock Tour” will air for the entire hour replacing the This is the Life segment and the local worship service. The documentary shows the locations where many Biblical events occurred. Easter Sunday, Rev. Dr. Dale Meyer will deliver a special Easter message. Rev. Meyer is President of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. Mark your calendars for these two special services. If you are attending services at the time the program airs, you can see these presentations on the website, www.mainstreetliving.com, until Friday of the week following the broadcast.
