H ope, Valby Lutherans plan Rural Life Sunday
The congregations of Hope and
Valby Lutheran Church will
celebrate Rural Life Sunday, May
16, the sixth Sunday of Easter.
This ancient festival of the
church, once known as Rogate
Sunday, was first celebrated in
the middle of the fifth century
A.D. after the devastation of
Vienne in France by earthquakes,
fire, rioting and looting. Bishop
Mamertus called the people to
observe a solemn fast and public
supplication as atonement for
their sin. The observance includ
ed a solemn procession with
litany around the bounds of the
city.
Over the years the observance
developed a three fold emphasis:
petitions for forgiveness of sins;
for protection from calamities;
Chair to benefit nursing home residents
and for bountiful crops. Rogate
Sunday comes from the Latin
word, “ rogare” meaning to
beseech.
“ The spiritual lesson of this
festival today is that God and
humanity are cooperators in the
creative processes of farming,
ranching and other areas of
agriculture,” said Pastor Stan
Hoobing, “ that tilling and care of
the soil are humanity's God-given
tasks and privilege, that human
life depends on God’s goodness
in quickening the life-giving
power in the sown seed, which
results in the return to mortals of
the bounty of the earth.”
“ And so in the celebration of
Holy Communion with prayers,
songs, scripture lessons, sermon»
and blessing of the fields wor-
