Mount Olive offers
Holy Week services
Mount Olive Lutheran

worship service at 10.30 a.m.,
commemorating the day when
the crowds welcomed Jesus
into Jerusalem waving branch-
es of palms.
On Maundy Thursday, April
1, the congregation will hold a
traditional Seder meal. "It was
in the context of such a meal,"
says Pastor James Markus,
"that Jesus instituted com-
munion, the meal that is
sacred to Christians. Maundy
Thursday is so named from a
Latin word meaning
'mandate.' On that day, Jesus
gave his disciples a new man-
date to love one another as he
had loved them."
Reservations are requested
for the Seder dinner, which is
free. They can be made by call-
ing 426-6353.

The show will feature abstract

Mason County. Admission to the
show will cost $2.
Designed to give members of
the public a chance to view ab-
stract and impressionistic works
by local artists, Art Foolery '99
will also feature several younger
artists who will show their works
for the first time, said Howard
Leggett who, with Lisa Howe, is
promoting the event.
The April Fool's Day event is
the second art show the pair of
Shelton residents has produced.
Last December, their Winter Art
Affair drew some 250 people and
was declared a success by Leg-
gett. This time, they're expecting
400 to 700 people to turn out.
Art lovers will be able to view
works done in several media, in-
eluding glass, ceramics, metal,
prints and paintings. Leggett and
Howe hope their periodic events
will provide recurring art aware-
ness in the region and bring ar-
tists together to socialize and
promote friendship.
Wine and appetizers will be
available at the art show. In addi-
tion, downtown restaurants such
as Hattie Rose Cafe, Xinh's and

Why to serve during Y2K
By PASTOR DAVID HUTCHINSON
Northside Baptist Church
Power. Authority. Dominion.
These words conjure up images of political
players and military titans. Whether we're talk-
ing about a tyrannical dictator or a modern poli-
tician, we all understand the allure of power.
Like moths attracted to a flame, few who flirt
with the wonders of power escape it unscathed.
The traps of pride and compromise await all who
dare approach it.
Jesus had a distinct perspective on power. He
did not need the kudos of an appreciative crowd
or the half-hearted backslapping of his peers. He
was not interested in the adoration of the public
or the respect of kings. In Mark 10, Jesus' disci-
ples begin to argue about their future place in
His kingdom. As they jockey for positions of au-
thority, Jesus gives His followers a lecture on
power that we would do well to remember. His
topic? "How to be a Power Broker in Society."
Jesus called them together and said, "You
know that those who are regarded as rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials
exercise authority over them. Not so with you. In.
stead, whoever wants to become great among
you... (Mark 10:42-43)
I'm sure Jesus' words hung in the air at this
moment. Here you have God almighty about to
give away the secret to success, power and great-
ness. His followers, like many others in society,
probably despised the political rulers of their day
and welcomed a way to challenge, and perhaps
usurp, their authority with a new and better
way. And so, silently they stood, waiting to hear
how they too might become great.
"Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, and whoever
wants to be first must be a slave of all. For even
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
(Mark 10:43-45)
What a unique and seemingly ridiculous set of
instructions on how to gain power. This was the
way to greatness, stature and authority? Ser-
vice?
Such is the way of Christ's kingdom. It is just
as real as any political entity we might encount-
er, yet is not political in nature. It is more power-
ful than any army we might gather, yet it is not
engaged in military struggle.
Jesus Himself is right now King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. There is no power greater than
His kingdom. All authority, in heaven AND ON
EARTH, belongs to Him. (Matthew 28:18). And
how did He gain such power, authority and do-
minion? By becoming a slave. By serving us to
the point of death. The very one who could have
come and larded His authority over us died as a
slave so that we might have eternal litb through
His servant blood.
There are times when we face social unrest,
political upheaval and technological uncertainty
as we seek to build Christ's Kingdom. Do we
dare do anything less than serve?
'Generation Jesus'
event this weekend
Young people aged 13 to 25 will
gather this weekend for a Gener-
ation Jesus Conference to be held
Friday and Saturday, March 26
and 27, at the Shelton High
School Auditorium.
The event is sponsored by a
number of Mason County church-
es. Organizers say it "will include

Dean Palmer
Shelton photographer Dean
Palmer will exhibit photos from
the 1950s at Oakland Bay Bakery
downtown on Railroad Avenue for
a month.
A meet-the-artist reception is
scheduled for 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. to-
morrow, March 26.
Palmer, now retired, operated
Dean's Studio two doors away
from the site of the exhibition.
Members of the community are
welcome to share memories of the
days evoked by Palmer's early
photographs and visit with him,
said Lisa Howe, organizer of the
exhibit.
Kriss Johnson will host a guest
artist each month with an open-
ing event, said Howe, who has
been involved in organizing local
art events.
a live band, human videos, give-
aways and a dynamic message."
Doors will open at 7 p.m. Fri-
day, March 26, with the program
running through 10 p.m.
The conference hours Satur-
day, March 27, are from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m., with a lunch break from
noon to 1:30 p.m., according to its
planners.
Speakers Judah Smith and
Richard Thomas, who have been
speaking to thousands of youths,
"will inspire those in attendance
with a life-changing word about
the destiny of this generation,"
says one of the organizers of the
event.
Judah, she noted, is a teen
himself. A member of a Kirkland
area ministry group, he has trav-
eled extensively with Richard
Thomas taking the Generation
Jesus Conference throughout the
Northwest and ministering to
youth in other countries as well.
Mike Olds, youth pastor of
Gateway Christian Fellowship,
says the idea for the conference in
Shelton came over two years ago.
"I was attending meetings in
Marysville, where 500 youth
gather weekly," he explained. "I
began to think, 'Why couldn't we
gather the kids in Mason County
and experience the same enthu-
siasm to see this generation's
lives changed, freed from the
drug-, alcohol- and violence-in-
fluenced culture they are sub-
merged in today?'"
His idea, he indicates, has re-
ceived support locally and from
neighboring counties.
One teen who will participate
in the conference told aids of
wanting friends to see that "the
stuff she used to be into" is not as
great as what she's experienced
with God, the youth pastor noted.
No admission will be charged
at the event, although a free-will
offering will be taken to help cov-
er expenses. Additional informa-
tion is available by calling aids at
427-9092.

as real as any political entity we might encount-
er, yet is not political in nature. It is more power-
ful than any army we might gather, yet it is not
engaged in military struggle.
Jesus Himself is right now King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. There is no power greater than
His kingdom. All authority, in heaven AND ON
EARTH, belongs to Him. (Matthew 28:18). And
how did He gain such power, authority and do-
minion? By becoming a slave. By serving us to
the point of death. The very one who could have
come and larded His authority over us died as a
slave so that we might have eternal litb through
His servant blood.
There are times when we face social unrest,
political upheaval and technological uncertainty
as we seek to build Christ's Kingdom. Do we
dare do anything less than serve?
'Generation Jesus'
event this weekend
Young people aged 13 to 25 will
gather this weekend for a Gener-
ation Jesus Conference to be held
Friday and Saturday, March 26
and 27, at the Shelton High
School Auditorium.
The event is sponsored by a
number of Mason County church-
es. Organizers say it "will include

Dean Palmer
Shelton photographer Dean
Palmer will exhibit photos from
the 1950s at Oakland Bay Bakery
downtown on Railroad Avenue for
a month.
A meet-the-artist reception is
scheduled for 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. to-
morrow, March 26.
Palmer, now retired, operated
Dean's Studio two doors away
from the site of the exhibition.
Members of the community are
welcome to share memories of the
days evoked by Palmer's early
photographs and visit with him,
said Lisa Howe, organizer of the
exhibit.
Kriss Johnson will host a guest
artist each month with an open-
ing event, said Howe, who has
been involved in organizing local
art events.
a live band, human videos, give-
aways and a dynamic message."
Doors will open at 7 p.m. Fri-
day, March 26, with the program
running through 10 p.m.
The conference hours Satur-
day, March 27, are from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m., with a lunch break from
noon to 1:30 p.m., according to its
planners.
Speakers Judah Smith and
Richard Thomas, who have been
speaking to thousands of youths,
"will inspire those in attendance
with a life-changing word about
the destiny of this generation,"
says one of the organizers of the
event.
Judah, she noted, is a teen
himself. A member of a Kirkland
area ministry group, he has trav-
eled extensively with Richard
Thomas taking the Generation
Jesus Conference throughout the
Northwest and ministering to
youth in other countries as well.
Mike Olds, youth pastor of
Gateway Christian Fellowship,
says the idea for the conference in
Shelton came over two years ago.
"I was attending meetings in
Marysville, where 500 youth
gather weekly," he explained. "I
began to think, 'Why couldn't we
gather the kids in Mason County
and experience the same enthu-
siasm to see this generation's
lives changed, freed from the
drug-, alcohol- and violence-in-
fluenced culture they are sub-
merged in today?'"
His idea, he indicates, has re-
ceived support locally and from
neighboring counties.
One teen who will participate
in the conference told aids of
wanting friends to see that "the
stuff she used to be into" is not as
great as what she's experienced
with God, the youth pastor noted.
No admission will be charged
at the event, although a free-will
offering will be taken to help cov-
er expenses. Additional informa-
tion is available by calling aids at
