M: Ah! It hurts! W: What does?! M: Not knowing what to do with everything. W: Um… please elaborate. I have no idea what you're talking about. M: You see, I went to see a psychiatrist. I felt like I'm going crazy! W: About what?! You need to be more specific than that! M: I said it felt crazy. Then again, maybe it was supposed to make you feel like that. W: I can't believe I have to ask this again. What is IT? M: The thing that hurts! There's something inside me, right smack in the middle that just aches sometimes. W: Your chest? You have chest pain? Um… what do you call it: Heartburn? M: It sounds like it, but not quite! Yes, yes… something about my heart, and a burning sensation. Am I dying? W: What? Why did you go to a psychiatrist instead of a cardiologist then? M: Because she said I have to talk it out, or else I just might suffer from a heart attack! W: And did you talk it out? What did she say? M: She gave me a medical prescription. W: What did she prescribe for you? M: She said she prescribes the person who makes me feel this way. W: WHO did that to you? Let's get him or her!! M: Well, that would be… YOU. (Written by Bea Jianne Roque) やさしい英語会話 (303) How to Get the Girl (In the library) 　　 M: (shouts) Hey, you! I need you! W: (harsh whisper) Hey, keep it down a bit! This is NOT the place to get all ballistic. I'm trying to study here! M: Sorry. Just got carried away. I've been hooked on this crazy book, and I had to say that line out loud to feel fine. It's like… when you really want it to end already, but no, you can't let it go just yet? Actually, I'm still halfway done, but it's all so crazy. I think I don't have enough energy to continue reading. W: But you have the strength to shout? Inside the library? M: I needed it. I told you! Almost had a cardiac arrest, if I didn't do it. Besides, it's a good thing you're the only one who heard. W: We're the only people in the room! M: Exactly! Which is why I yelled. To get your attention. W: I told you: I'm studying right now. Maybe some other time. M: But this is the only time I can get you alone! That makes all the difference. W: I... I don't understand. M: I've been seeing you here for the past two months and I know you read plenty of books around here. And, obviously, you remember me, because we had eye contact just last Monday. Then I managed to smile a little on Tuesday, but you didn't notice. Wednesday, I waved from my corner over there; still not effective. Thursday, I tried walking past your usual desk, and you're quite… oblivious. From Friday till the weekend I was trying to think of what to do. I figured reading this could get you to notice. W: I, uh, was merely trying to be polite. And you haven't really read the book. I may be "oblivious" but I can tell one thing: You've been reading the book upside down. Haha! M: Ah! I blew it. Um, Can I…try again next week? (Written by Bea Jianne Roque) やさしい英語会話 (314) Life Is Tough for Girls, Too W: I don't know what's wrong with me these days. M: What happened? W: This morning I told myself I'm going to try and be happy and not let anything *get me down. A few minutes later, I fell! M: What? How? Where did you fall? W: Right across from *the Student Plaza when I was about to go left. Ha ha. To think: I was on the way to the gym! M: Were you hurt? Any *bruises? W: Yeah. I think I was *bleeding internally. M: That's terrible! Are you OK now? Does it hurt? W: A bit. M: You didn't go to the gym after that, right? I mean you went to the health office to get it treated, yes? W: Of course I went to the gym! Who do you think I am? *Skipping my gym routine because of a little pain? Pfft. I even ran on the *treadmill for an hour! M: Hey, you said you were bleeding internally. That's something more serious than a bruise, I *reckon?! W: Well, nothing to worry about. Surprisingly, gym is medicine. I'm fine now. M: I've never heard of such a thing. Hey, can we make this clear? You fell? And WHAT actually did you *hurt? W: My heart, friend! I saw the guy I *had a crush on for months. He was with another girl! They both looked all *clingy and sweet together! I just couldn't take it, so I went exercising! M: Ah! Why did we have this conversation? (Written by Bea Jianne Roque) やさしい英語会話 (327) Changing Sexes (In the beginning, each person is in a different place.) M: Where… where am I...? Wait.

What’s that messed-up make-up on your face? You also didn’t put on a bra? You’re ruining my body! Oh no!!! W: I’ve never done any make-up in my entire life. Ah! The class bell’s going to ring soon. Akari, don’t forget to submit my fluid dynamics report. M: Hey, I don’t even know what fluid dynamics is! I’m so sorry! By the way, I have a seminar about Shakespearean sonnets, so be ready for that! W: Oh, no! I don’t know ANYTHING about Shakespeare, or literature! Why did it turn out like this… Why did our bodies get swapped!!? M, W: Oh god!! Someone please save us!! (Written by Kyoung Jo)

We’re here to shepherd Christ’s flock and seek the lost sheep by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with all. Come, let us worship!For your convenience, in the back corner of the sanctuary there is a room for any parents with children in need of a quiet place. The restrooms are located on the lower level. Please ask if you have any further questions or concerns. Lord Jesus, you took on our humanity and fought temptation. You were victorious! All praise to you for your perfect obedience! And miracle of miracles . . . you have credited this perfection to me. Thank you! AMEN.Christ’s Kingdom Grow through the Means of Grace:Christ’s kingdom exists only with the Word and Sacraments. Therefore, it is necessary to baptize little children, that the promise of salvation may be applied to them, according to Christ’s command to baptize all nations (Matthew 28:19). Just as in this passage salvation is offered to all, so Baptism is offered to all, to men, women, children, infants. It clearly follows, therefore, that infants are to be baptized, because salvation is offered with Baptism. Second, it is clear that God approves of the Baptism of little children. God’s approval of the Baptism of little children is shown by this: He gives the Holy Spirit to those baptized [Acts 2:38–39].Apology to the Augsburg Confession, Article 9 (Concordia p. 153)Because He Knew: He Would Died – He Would LiveWhy did Jesus keep moving toward the cross? Surely, he should have known this was coming. Surely, he could have avoided the pain, the suffering, the death. But that’s the point, Jesus knew all along he was going to die. That was the eternal plan of the Father, that the holy Son of God would suffer and die for a world of sinners. However, Jesus also knew that death would not be the end. The payment for sin would be accepted and he would rise to life again and defeat death itself, for us.How does the Temptation of Jesus solidify our Christian hope today?OPENING HYMN: 224 – God Himself is PresentLITURGY: Holy Baptism, CW p. 12Please rise.PRAYER OF THE DAY:M: Lord our strength, the battle of good and evil rages within and around us, and our ancient foe tempts us with his deceits and empty promises. Keep us steadfast in your Word, and when we fall, raise us up again and restore us through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.The WordFIRST READING: Genesis 22:1-18What do you love so much that it would be impossible to willingly and gladly give up if the Lord required it? The time of Lent is a call to serious struggle against sin, including the idolatry of loving anyone or anything more than God:Some time later God tested Abraham. He called to him, “Abraham!” Abraham answered, “I am here.” 2God said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains there, the one to which I direct you.” 3Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. Abraham split the wood for the burnt offering. Then he set out to go to the place that God had told him about. 4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go on over there. We will worship, and then we will come back to you.” 6Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and loaded it on Isaac his son. He took the firepot and the knife in his hand. The two of them went on together. ( . . . continued . . . )7Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father?” He said, “I am here, my son.” He said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them went on together. 9They came to the place that God had told him about. Abraham built the altar there. He arranged the wood, tied up Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. 10Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11The Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” Abraham said, “I am here.” 12He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy. Do not do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13Abraham looked around and saw that behind him there was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide.” So it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” 15The Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16and said, “I have sworn by myself, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your descendants greatly, like the stars of the sky and like the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the city gates of their enemies. 18In your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” PSALM: CWS 3 (Bulletin p. 6)SECOND READING: Romans 8:31-39Lent proves the love of God: God gave his own Son for us all. With this truth planted into our hearts, God gives us perseverance in all things: 31What then will we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also graciously give us all things along with him? 33Who will bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies! 34Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus, who died and, more than that, was raised to life, is the one who is at God’s right hand and who is also interceding for us! 35What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36Just as it is written: For your sake we are being put to death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor rulers, neither things present nor things to come, nor powerful forces, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. THEME VERSE: Matthew 4:10It is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” Thanks be to God.GOSPEL READING: Mark 1:12-15In his grace, God leads Gentiles to worship Christ:12The Spirit immediately sent Jesus out into the wilderness. 13He was in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels were serving him. 14After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. 15“The time is fulfilled,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near! Repent, and believe in the gospel.” This is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.Praise be to you, O Christ!HYMN OF THE DAY: 201 – A Mighty Fortress is Our GodSERMON based on Mark 1: Only a Victorious Christ could Preach the GospelCONFESSION OF FAITH: Luther’s Explanation of Holy Baptism, from the Small Catechism (1529)M: What is Baptism?C: Baptism is not just plain water, but it is water used by God's command and connected with God's Word.M: Which is that Word of God?C: Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Matthew, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”M: What does Baptism do for us?C: Baptism works forgiveness of sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.M: What are these words and promises of God?C: Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”M: How can water do such great things?C: It is certainly not the water that does such things, but God's Word which is in and with the water, and faith which trusts this Word used with the water. For without God's Word the water is just plain water and not baptism. But with this Word it is baptism, that is, a gracious water of life and a washing of rebirth by the Holy Spirit.M: Where is this written?C: Saint Paul says in Titus, chapter three, “God saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying.” ( . . . continued . . . )M: What does baptizing with water mean?C: Baptism means that the old Adam in us should be drowned by daily contrition and repentance, and that all its evil deeds and desires be put to death. It also means that a new person should daily arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever.M: Where is this written?C: Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter six, “We were buried with Christ through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”OFFERINGPRAYER OF THE CHURCH & LORD’S PRAYER: p. 32The sacramentFor our Holy Communion practice, please see the purple sheet in the pew racks.COMMUNION LITURGY: p. 33DISTRIBUTION HYMN: 737 – God’s Own Child, I Gladly Say ItSONG OF THANKS: CW 316 (Purple sheet or hymnal)CLOSING HYMN: 752 – In Christ AloneNOTESAll are invited to celebrate Gideon’s baptism at noon at the Pizza Ranch.See the sign-up at the back of church for next week’s congregational bowling.Midweek Lenten worship continues with a 6 PM meal & 7 PM worship.

Membership is about belonging to Christ, growing in faith, and sharing the joy of salvation together. We enjoy life together with a merciful God through faith, growing together as lifelong learners of Jesus, spending time together with one another in Christian friendship and support, and going out together into our communities and circles of friends to make a meaningful difference.Our new member process aims at nurturing those relationships, which includes but is not limited to an agreement together on the truths of the Bible. Unity of belief is the building block for life together with Christ, growing in faith together, and sharing in the joy of salvation together.Those who want to join Shepherd of the Lakes coming from other WELS or ELS churches will be familiar with our beliefs. Others experienced in another church, or who have little or no religious background at all, become members through participation in a Bible information class taught by Pastor Hagen. Many of our members have taken this class numerous times, as a reminder and refresher on the different teachings in God’s Word.Togetherness in beliefs then leads to a new member process that nurtures togetherness in relationships with God, church and community.Speak to Pastor Hagen if you’re interested. There is no charge. Even if you’re just curious, come check it out!

Ah…music?M: No, we haven’t any music homework, but the science teacher is giving us a test on Friday, so we have to study for that.W: Oh no. I’m so bad at science. I hate it. Thanks, Jack.M: Don’t mention it. See you tomorrow.8-9M: Still feeling ill?W: Yes. That medicine hasn’t helped. Not a good start to our vacat ion, I’m afraid.M: Do you have any idea what caused it?W: Well, I thought it might be last night’s dinner.M: But I’m fine. Could it be the heat? It’s enough to make anyone ill.W: I know. But we’ve been here a week now. Anyway, I’ve been careful in the sun and I’ve been drinking bottles of water.M: Then we’d better stay in the hotel today.10-12M: Well, do you have anything planned for the Saturday?W: Eh, I’m kind of busy. Why do you ask?M: I was wondering if we could get together and do something, like going to a concert or taking a walk by the lake.W: I’d love to, but I’m really busy this weekend.M: That’s too bad.W: I have promised to help with the cleaning of the house at 10:30 in the morning. And then, I have an appointment with the dentist at 12:30pm.M: How about after the dentist’s appointment?W: Then, I have to meet Jim at 4:30pm to help him with the science project due on Monday morning.M: OK, then, maybe some other time.13-15Well, we are now looking at ways to make shopping less tiring. You know, a day at the shops wears people o ut. And we considered a number of ideas. Carrying shopping around is very tiring, and we looked at ways to avoid that. We thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers, but we came up against problems of space. There just isn’t enough room. We also thought about those moving walk ways, like the ones you see at the airports. We decided it against then though, because they require a major redesign of the whole center. What we have actually come up with is a new technology where you but what you want and then just leave it on the shelf. That way, you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day. When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything you’ve bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.第三节16-20W: Good morning, Sir. Can you help me?M: What’s wrong?W: My daughter is missing. I can’t find her anywhere.M: OK, calm down. I’m going to help you to find her. How long ago did she go missing?W: About one hour ago. At 4 o’clock, perhaps. I’ve been looking for her for almost an hour now.M: And where did you last see her?W: We were just shopping in the vegetable section. I turned around and she was gone.M: What’s her name?W: Melissa. M-E-L-I-S-S-A. She’s only five. She doesn’t speak Spanish.M: OK. What does she look like?W: She has dark brown hair. She’s thin and small for her age.M: OK. What is she wearing today?W: Blue shorts and a pink T-shir t. She has a hat on too, I think.M: Don’t worry. Ev erything is going to be OK.W: What should I do?M: Stay right at the front of the store in case she is looking for you. We will start looking for her now.

You're Mai? W: Yes… M: I'm Bob, Jane's brother. Nice to meet you! W: Nice to meet you, Bob. M: Unfortunately, Jane couldn't come today. Is it OK if I take you to the city? W: Oh, thanks. I did hear Jane's busy today. I thought I'd have to walk around the city by myself. But I don't want to trouble you. M: No worries. It's my pleasure. We'll take the train there. Oh, here it comes! W: Um… I don't have a ticket yet. M: We can get it in the train. Come on! (In the train) M: Let's sit over there…Two tickets please…Thanks. W: How long does it take to Wellington? M: About 30 minutes. You can see Wellington Harbour on your left. W: Oh, it's so beautiful! M: It looks good on sunny days. If you're lucky, you can see dolphins swimming in the sea sometimes! W: Really? M: Yeah. The nature here is really awesome. W: I heard there are whale-watching sites? M: Yeah. You can often see whales off South Island. Are you planning to go there? W: If I have a chance, I'd love to. Actually, I'm thinking of going to South Island next week. M: How long are you staying in New Zealand? W: I'll be here for 2 weeks. And it's my 4th day now. M: Where did you go before coming here? W: I arrived at Auckland Airport, and I went sightseeing around there. Then I rented a car for just 2 days and came down here. I was surprised that the motorway is free in New Zealand. We have to pay for it back in Japan. M: Is that so? Well, we probably pay more taxes than you do in Japan! How long did it take to get here from Auckland? W: Well…I stopped at a bunch of places on the way, so it took me about 12 hours. But it was a fun drive. M: Where did you stop? W: I stopped at Hamilton, Taupo, and some other small towns. I saw a big lake in Taupo and I went to a spa there. We have something like that, called onsens, in Japan. M: Yeah, Taupo is famous for spas. Did you see Huka Falls? W: No. Is it famous? M: Yeah. It's a really big waterfall. Did you try bungee jumping in Taupo? W: No... Is there a bungee jumping site in Taupo? M: Yeah. It's not that high, I guess…There are some crazier ones on South Island-- higher than the Taupo one. So you can try one of those when you go there. W: OK, I will…Are we at Wellington yet? M: We're almost there…You can see the stadium over there. W: Oh, yeah. Is that a rugby stadium? M: Yes. I think there's a game on tonight…The Hurricanes and the Blues. W: What are the Hurricanes? M: The Hurricanes are a rugby team based in Wellington. There's a league called Super14. There are 14 teams from 3 countries: New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. W: All Blacks is one of the top teams in rugby, so the league games would be very exciting. Do you think I can still get a ticket? M: …I was going to surprise you but…OK, I've got a ticket for you! Let's go to the game tonight! W: Really? Thank you very much. I can't wait! M: Oh, we're getting off now. It's Wellington Station. W: This station is beautiful. It's like the one in Harry Potter! M: Ha ha. It must be different from the stations in Japan. This way…I'll show you Wellington City. W: Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, right? It looks different from Auckland. M: Yes. Auckland is the biggest city, but Wellington is the capital. I'll show you the government buildings later. W: Where are we going? M: We're going to the National Museum, called Te Papa. W: Is it that building over there? M: Yes. And it's free to enter. W: Wow, you're lucky to live here! There are so many free things!

Let us begin Brewster  podcast.   How are you?  This is Yuichiro. And today's commentator is Motoki Sakurai. Hi, this is Motoki. Motoki, What kind of topic have you chosen this week? Well. it has been about three months since the march 11th earthquake occurred. Some reconstructing programs have already started. Also a lot of volunteer workers have been to Tohoku to help Tohoku people. Even now we need more effort. There are our Japanese people's thoughts. However, how about other countries? I would like to know ideas what people from abroad think of. Tanks sir. So today's topic is about The March 11th earthquake. Not only Japanese people have experienced such a huge disaster. Then let us consider what the people from overseas feel. We have interviewed people who come from out of Japan and we could get other points of view. First, Motoki who did you asked? I asked a guy whose name is David. O.K. Let's get start it. M: Hi, I'm going to ask you about the earthquake on March 11th. Have you ever experienced disaster like earthquake on March 11th? D: No, not at all. life experience some very strong hurricanes and big snow               storms but nothing, nothing the stronger and powerful as March 11th                   earthquake. M: What was your reaction to March 11th? D: When I was at home in my recording studio, and my initial felling like, is           my house gonna be OK?? And I just went outside calmly and chatted with           the neighbors. We all just stood around waiting for the end. M: Do your family, for example your parents, brothers or cousins live in                    Japan? D: No, I don't have any family in Japan. M: Where do they live, and could you contact them soon after the earthquake? D: Most of my friends and family live back in east coast Canada and once                 internet came back on a few hours later I was able to contact everybody               through facebook or skype, so I had no problem to contact with people. M: This is the last question. What did you think about the reaction of the                    Japanese people around you at the moment and after the earthquake? D: At the moment of the earthquake, I went outside, and my neighbors were             outside, everybody was, you know, laughing, and kind of like what this is a       big earthquake. But we all kind of knew that somewhere something bad               happened, but we didn't know what until a few hours later when we can             watch TV. And also everyone because power ____ everybody helped each         other, we had radio on, we shared information. After that, response to the         actual disaster area was, you know, it was overwhelming just to watch on           TV and _______. Generally, Japanese people really help and take care of         each other I think, you know, did the best, stay calm, you know, so quite             good I think. But, a mixture of emotions most like what people are really             hanging on there and fighting hard and  well a lot of people died, you                 know so, both of good and bad.  It's good? Positive feeling about Japanese         people in general. Hmm.. That was my interview, so Yuichiro how about you? Who did you ask? I've asked Peter who works at ELP. O.K. Let's listen to it. Y: Hi. Thank you for coming. P: Sure. Y: First of all, I would like to know about you. P: O.K. Y: So, May I have your name? P: My name is Peter. Y: And, Where are you from? P: I’m from the west coast of the United States. Y: Ah, so how long have you been in Japan? P: I’ve been in Japan since 1985, so 26 years now. Y: So long! P: Yes. Y: What’s your job? P: I’m a teacher here in ELP. Y: Today I would like to interview about the March 11th earthquake. So what did you think of the reaction of Japanese people around you at the moment of the earthquake or after two weeks or three weeks?

W: Hey, did you hear about Katie? M: What about her? I saw her this morning. She seems fine. W: Matt broke up with her yesterday evening! M: Matt? I thought she was dating Steve? W: Oh, no. She was dating Steve a few months ago, but they're just friends now. M: Oh. Poor Katie. W: No, it was all her fault! I heard she kissed another guy at the club the other night, and Matt was nearby at the time, and he saw it all! I can't believe she did that… M: People do all kinds of things when they're drunk, you know. He broke up with her just for that? W: Not just that. Apparently, she always goes out with her friends instead of him, and he can't stand that she's such good friends with Steve. And she's always texting people when they're watching movies, and— M: Where are you getting all this information from? W: Oh, I heard it from Melissa. M: … Where did Melissa hear it? W: From Mark, I think. M: And why would Mark know anything…? W: He was the guy she kissed at the club! M: Do you think sometimes, maybe, you could stop… well… gossiping, so much? W: I don't gossip! I heard all this on good authority! M: From Melissa, who got it from Mark, who may or may not know anything about Katie's relationship with her boyfriend. W: Well… M: I know for a fact they haven't even broken up, because I saw them both in the hallway this morning. And from what they were doing, I'd say they are still a couple! W: What? Seriously? You mean he forgave her for kissing Mark at the club?! M: Wow, you really still believe all you hear, don't you? Well, you can keep believing your made-up stories, and I'm going to judge people on what I see for myself! (Written by Anna Hill)
