Green Light for Wood Family

Green light for the Wood Family

Pastor Matthew Wood and his family visited Pacific Hills Lutheran Church last November, lead a presentation on his planned work in Indonesia and preached the sermon "Keeping Jesus Front and Center".

Green Light!

We have been greenlighted to deploy to Indonesia. This is great news! All of your support has been to get us to our destination to work with the Indonesian Christian Lutheran Church. God has answered our prayers for safety on the road, health and wellness, and for funding. We are fervently packing and getting our home ready to sell. Our goal is to deploy as soon as possible! 

Our family has officially received the “Green Light” to deploy to Indonesia. In August we were originally told that the green light might not come until May! So this is a tremendous blessing to be able to deploy two months early.  This is possible only because the Lord has blessed us through all of you! The Lord is working through your prayers, your encouragement, and your gifts. Thank you!

What’s Happening with the Organ?

Pacific Hills Lutheran Church Organ

Pacific Hills has been blessed for nearly 50 years with the music from our organ built by the Schantz Organ Company of Orville, Ohio, in 1969. It contains a little over 2,200 pipes of various shapes and sizes, ranging anywhere from 16 feet in length to the size of a small pencil. The organist controls when each pipe plays through the keyboards and various buttons and knobs on the console (where the organist sits), which is connected to the pipe chambers by a very elaborate, and complex set of pneumatic valves and electrical connections.

News from Living H2O Board of Directors

As we look forward to 2019, Living H2O Lutheran Campus Ministry in Omaha announces new plans and staffing.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of DCE Allison Parkhurst to serve part-time as Director of Ministries. Ms. Parkhurst will lead a coalition of Directors of Christian Education from Omaha churches in helping campus ministry reach out into our congregations to offer ministry opportunities for Omaha students remaining in the Omaha metro for their college years. Additionally, Ms. Parkhurst will be discovering ways to reach into the UNO community to build relationships and share Christ with Lutheran as well as unchurched students.

Assisting her will be Mikayla Booth. Ms. Booth was our student assistant prior to her graduation this December from UNO. She will serve part-time as Administrative Assistant to the ministry. We are excited to have Ms. Booth continue with us until her pending enrollment at Concordia Theological Seminary next fall, where she intends to prepare for a deaconess ministry in the LCMS.

Sanctity of Life Month

Life Sunday and Sanctity of Life Month at Pacific Hills

The month of January is regarded as Sanctity of Life Month and January 20th will be observed as Sanctity of Life Sunday.

Essential Pregnancy Services 

This year we are once again partnering with Essential Pregnancy Services of Omaha in our effort to make a difference in the lives of at risk mothers and their unborn and newly born children. As such you are encouraged to bring diapers for children newborn to age 2 and place them in the bins in the Narthex. Diapers are in great need.

On Sunday, January 27, EPS will host their annual fundraising banquet at Embassy Suites on Westport Pkwy. Pacific Hills will once again be sponsoring two tables. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of countless families and support the sanctity of life in greater Omaha.  You may register at the link below. Where the registration says “My Group Host is” select “Bryan Drebes.” There is no charge to attend the dinner so those that register will not be asked for any credit card information.  One last friendly note, if you mark the “Yes, I would like to be a Table Host” box then you will be creating your own table instead of sitting at one of the two Pacific Hills tables. Please speak with Pastor Drebes if you would like to host your own table.

The Transfiguration

The Transfiguration by Raphael

A

bout eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

- Luke 9:28-36
