ADULT BIBLE STUDY:  Beginning September 10 during our regular Bible study time, we will be looking at the life of Martin Luther and the reasons behind the Reformation by looking at a video series put out by Lutheran Hour Ministries.  You do not want to miss this opportunity to learn more about what we will be celebrating in October.  Hope to see you there!” -  In Christ, Pastor Whitmore

OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL YEAR will begin on Sunday, September 10, at 10:30 on communion Sundays and 10:15 on non-communion Sundays.  Teachers/helpers are needed.  Two teachers are needed for each class so they would only teach half the time.  Extra volunteers are always appreciated in the preschool class.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:                      Matthew 16:27              
“For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay each person according to what he has done.”  St. Paul talks about rewards on the Last Day in 1 Cor. 3, and Jesus says more about this “repaying” in Matt. 19:27-30.  Bottom line:  your good works can’t buy you heaven, but in Christ your good works do matter; they’re pleasing your Heavenly Father, and they will be rewarded.  In other words: your sacrifices for the Lord’s Kingdom are not in vain, they are not unnoticed by your Father.  This should encourage you in your faithfulness.              

T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
