October 27 Weekly News


DR. MARTIN LUTHER'S Coat of Arms is pictured on today's bulletin in observance of Reformation Sunday (Reformation Day is this Thursday, October 31).  This seal was designed by Martin Luther and has become the primary emblem of the Lutheran Church.  Comprising it are: the black cross, for faith in Christ crucified; the red heart, for faith in the Savior; the white rose, to show that faith in the Spirit is the beginning of heavenly joy to come; and the golden ring surrounding all, to signify that such bliss in heaven is endless.

 

TODAY'S ALTAR FLOWERS have been given in thanksgiving and celebration of the 55th wedding anniversary of Lloyd & Jean Meyer by their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.  May God grant you many more happy years together, Lloyd & Jean!
