SERMONS and ART OF LAURA GENTRY. Preached at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Lansing, Iowa. Sunday, March 21, 2010. REDOING OUR RELIGIOUS RESUMES. A Sermon for the Fifth Sunday in Lent. Our church is in trouble! Good old Paul to the rescue! Bulking up your religious resume has no benefit, he tells the Christians at Phillipi. Getting puffed up and thinking you are somehow better than this person or that only leads to conflict. All my ancestors were Christians. I’ve been a Christian all my life. They were ...

SERMONS and ART OF LAURA GENTRY. Preached at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Lansing, Iowa. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. TOTALLY FIRE: A SERMON FOR ASH WEDNESDAY. Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This evening we begin the season of Lent. But just what is Lent? I know you should know because we do the Lenten thing every year, but is is kind of hard to explain, isn’t it? I have a hard time convincing people of this, but Lent isn’t. The whole 40 day trad...

SERMONS and ART OF LAURA GENTRY. Preached at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Lansing, Iowa. Sunday, March 18, 2012. GRUMBLERS, NO MORE. A sermon for the 4th Sunday in Lent (Year B). Today is already the fourth Sunday in Lent. And it actually has a name. It is called Laetare. This term comes from the Latin word “rejoice.” So we are right smack dab in the middle of the somber season of Lent and yet the word that describes this day is rejoice. Does that make any sense to you? Oh yes, they always grumble no ...

http://laughingwithlaura.blogspot.com/2015/03/laughfest-early-bird-rate.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. I just had the most amazing weekend. The planning committee came to my house and we laughed and did some intensive planning for the upcoming LaughFest of the Midwest. May 15-17, 2015. We are thrilled with the variety of life-affirming, joy-boosting, silliness-enhancing, laughter-freeing opportunities this event will afford. And though the past two LaughFests have been great, we are confident that this one will be the best ever! First is the Lynda Tourloukis will be leading a works...

SERMONS and ART OF LAURA GENTRY. Preached at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Lansing, Iowa. Sunday, February 28, 2010. GATHERED UNDER GOD'S WINGS. A Sermon for the Second Sunday in Lent. By Pastor Laura Gentry. In this morning’s gospel text, we have one of the strangest juxtapositions of animal imagery. That’s right: we have talk of a fox and a hen within two verses of one another. You remember the old children’s story of the crafty sly fox and the little red hen? What is he trying to teach us? What in t...
