The Fatherhood of God
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
On May 8th we celebrated Mother’s Day and on June 19th we will celebrate Father’s Day. Both are equally important, and that is how it should be, for it is the way God created us. Genesis 2:24 discusses this regarding marriage: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Every one of us has had a father and a mother and hopefully lived under their love and protection, but there comes a time when we must start our own family. Studies have shown that children thrive best when they have the balanced influence of both a father and a mother. This is true especially in the church, where it is proven that when both parents attend on a regular basis, the children will follow in their footsteps, as the Scripture states in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The fourth commandment says we are to honor our father and our mother and that includes matters of faith.
Honoring God as our Father and Creator is part of our confession of faith, as we say in the Apostles Creed, “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.” We could speak here about all the wonders of creation. The sky, the earth, the mountains and the valleys, the rivers, and the oceans; the sun, the moon, the stars. What providence of God in all these things! Everything on earth, the birds, the animals, the fish, and humans, all live and exist because of His creative, almighty, fatherly care. It is just as someone once told me: when we see a painting, we know there is a painter; just so, when we see the creation, we know there is a Creator. Through the blessing of almighty God, we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).
On June 12th we celebrate the festival of the Holy Trinity. The words of Christ in Matthew 28 reveal to us the sublime mystery of God: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” In the Gospel of John, especially chapters 14-17, Christ speaks of the intricate nature of the inner workings of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a marvel to behold. Who can plumb the depths of it? Most people know the popular verse from John 3:16, which is a great place to start: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jesus is the revelation of the Father’s love toward His creation. He also reveals to us the work of the Holy Spirit. In John 14:15-17, Christ says: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth.” Here in one verse our Lord gives insight to understand the nature of all three persons of the Trinity.
Indeed, Christ Himself taught us to pray: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name…” (Matthew 6:9). Because of this we normally address our prayers to God our heavenly Father. We pray in the Spirit through the Son to the Father. Most collects of the church are prayed to God the Father, “through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever, Amen.” The Small Catechism explains why we address God as our heavenly Father: “With these words God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father and that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their dear father.”
When we think of our earthly fathers, we think of their love for us, how they worked hard to provide a house and home for us, how they protected us from harm, how they guided us in the way we should go, patiently teaching us with wisdom and fortitude. All these aspects and more belong to God our heavenly Father.
One of the beauties of the Fatherhood of God is that we are His children. Through faith in Christ, we become His sons and daughters. This we confess with Holy Baptism, as stated in the epistle of 1 John 3:2 concerning the coming of Christ: “Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.” And again, Titus 3:5-7 says, “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” And finally, the great passage from Galatians 4:6, “God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Blessings to you all!

God doesn’t love us because of our worth, we are of worth because God loves us.
— Martin Luther

Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father’s heart actually walks through the world with new eyes - Martin Luther

Needed Encouragement through the Ministry of Lutheran Family Service
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” So writes the Apostle Paul to the Christians in Thessalonians (I Thess. 5:11). What does such encouragement look like? God’s people take care of each other. They listen. They pray. They share the Good News of forgiveness and salvation through Christ alone.
Since 2018, The South Dakota District—LCMS has provided care for our congregations and church workers in a new way for us: through the ministry of Lutheran Family Service (LFS), whose mission it is “to equip individuals and communities with Christ-centered, life-changing tools, resources, and hope to meet the challenges they are facing.” Individual and family counseling and presentations on strengthening families and marriages and on many other topics are among the resources LFS has provided.
Another resource, on-line telehealth sessions, have been particularly helpful the past two years. Using this technology, counselors at the LFS main office in Fort Dodge, Iowa, have been available to support and guide pastors, pastors’ wives, and others in The South Dakota District, especially during the many months when the coronavirus made its way into our midst and disrupted life in our families, congregations, and schools.
Noting the tremendous blessing LFS has been to so many people in South Dakota, the delegates at the December 2021 South Dakota District Convention voted overwhelming -- by a 91% majority -- to continue and deepen the ministry agreement between our District and LFS for the new triennium (2022-2025).
The ongoing agreement will result in the establishment of an LFS office in Sioux Falls and, we hope, in other locations in the state. Counselors will be on-site in the Sioux Falls office to assist not only church workers, but also congregational members with their emotional and mental health.
Telehealth will be available to individuals throughout the state of South Dakota. Adoption services will also be available.
I’m sure you understand that to offer such care for one another does come at a financial cost to our church District. For 2022, that cost is $75,000.
The resolution calls for the District itself to contribute toward the cost of the ministry agreement with LFS for 2022. The District will contribute its share through special gifts we’ve received to do the Lord’s work here in South Dakota.
What about congregations? What is asked of them? In the second-last “resolved” of the Convention resolution, congregations are called on to contribute “above-and-beyond” gifts to bring emotional and mental health resources to our District through the ministry of LFS. Above and beyond what? Your congregation’s current pledge for District and Synod mission work. We already support missionaries in this above-and-beyond way through the Together in Mission (TIM) program. And now we are asking your congregation and the other 104 congregations of The South Dakota District to go above and beyond once more, by prayerfully considering a gift for our ministry agreement with LFS. In mid-March, your congregation’s chairman and your pastor received information about how this additional financial gift can be given for 2022.
Your congregation is already doing so much in support of the work of God’s Kingdom through the support you give for Synod and District mission work. Thank you! We praise God for your partnership in the Gospel, and we thank you for whatever you are willing to contribute in this new work we are doing together through the ministry of Lutheran Family Service—a ministry God is using to offer Christ-centered, life-changing hope amid the challenges of life.
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Scott Sailer

Introducing Mental Health Minute, a new feature in our newsletter. MHM will include today an explanation of Lutheran Family Services. Lutheran Family Services of Iowa is now expanding into South Dakota and our congregation can take advantage of its services. President Sailer and the District are supporting this LCMS run ministry.
The LFS website describes their work: “For more than a century, Lutheran Family Service has been there for people in their time of need providing a variety of services including unplanned pregnancy support, marriage counseling, mental health counseling, adoption services, church worker wellness, and youth and elderly outreach. Lutheran Family Services also offers a number of congregational outreach programs designed to equip people with what they need to successfully manage life challenges before they become a crisis.
Our mission is simple: We walk with people who are experiencing hard times and are there for them just as God has been there for us.
Our values are clear: Grace, Life, Family, Compassion, Accountability and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came into this world to redeem us. Jesus is the cornerstone of our ministry and the focus of all that we do in serving people.”
Something to Meditate On:
One of the best ways to increase your mental health is by contemplating Jesus’s ability to heal all of our imperfections and infirmities. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. Psalm 103:3 reminds us that the Lord “heals all your diseases” and this includes all infirmities of the mind. This is not to say that mental illness is a sign of spiritual weakness. The Lord helps us in our weaknesses of all types that He may strengthen us and as the Psalm continues, “redeems your life from the pit.” Other Psalms that focus on wellness:
Psalm 30:5 “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 16:1 “Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.”
Psalm 18:28 “You, O Lord keep my lamp burning, my God turns my darkness into light.

Something to Cheer About!
Stephanie Swanson has had a busy year and it is just about to get busier! Not only did her two competitive cheer teams (Junior 9-13 and Senior 13-17) earn 1st place national titles but she just received the GOOD NEWS that she will be the Cheer Coach at Chamberlain High School next year. Congratulations Stephanie!

Susan Swanson’s Retirement Party Was a Huge Success!
A Letter from Susan:
I would like to thank the Church council for the retirement reception they hosted for me. My family and I appreciated it very much. Thank you to Pastor Hinckley, Pastor Mischnick and everyone else for all the kind words that brought smiles and tears. To Marsha for all the work she did organizing everything. For the lovely flowers, food, cards and beautiful gift I received. And to the congregation for all their kindness and support through all the years. I truly have been blessed to be able to serve our Lord and the Zion church for almost 20 years.
God’s Blessings, Susan

Thank you all for a great year with the Zion Youth Group! I appreciate all the help the parents have provided and the engagement with the youth themselves. This was certainly a learning experience for me and I hope that it was a good and gospel-enriching year for the youth!
We covered many different topics throughout the school year. During Sunday School we covered a lot of the Old Testament, looking specially at the different covenants and how they were anticipating the coming Messiah. We started with Genesis and went up through the Minor Prophets. Each lesson showed how Christ was promised in each and every book.
During the youth group nights, I was not following a curriculum but rather asked at the beginning of the year what were some questions/bible stories they wanted covered during the year. They had a lot of good questions and topics. We had many good sessions focusing on who Jesus is and the importance of the Gospel. We had a session on mental health and one on doubts. The last one we had was on prayer and we had some practical application praying for each other.
Both Sunday school and youth group brought good discussions. I am praying next year will be as gospel centered as this year was. I look forward to what questions/topics the students might want to look into next year!
Also, we are planning on having a mid-summer event for the youth. July 17th we are planning on having an evening event for the youth. More details will come later this summer.
Thank you all again for your patience and support through my first year of youth group! If you have any questions or if any of the youth need anything this summer, please contact me! I am praying for them all!
Thank you, Jessica
