IN CELEBRATION of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, White Creek is
joining the other Columbus Lutheran churches in hosting a German food booth at
this year’s Ethnic Expo. We are putting
together a 10 member team of White Creek volunteers to work the booth on
Friday, October 13, from 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. to grill brats, take orders,
plate food, take money, or be a “go for.”
If you would like this opportunity to be a part of the Expo action and
see lots of people, please let Jean Voelker, Janeen Blomenberg, or Becky know
by today. All proceeds from this
food booth will support the Orphan Grain Train.
To
the members of St. John’s:
Grace
and peace to you in the name of Jesus! I desire to thank all of you who were in
attendance to witness my ordination. It was a special honor to come home to the
church where I was baptized and confirmed and then be ordained and consecrated
to serve as a Pastor in the LCMS. Thank you for your continued prayers and
other gifts throughout my time of formation before and during seminary, for me and
my growing family. I ask that you keep us all in your prayers as we move to St.
Peter’s, La Grange, MO, to serve the saints there. I cannot say thanks enough
for all that you as a congregation have done for me throughout my life. “May
the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great
shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with
everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing
in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
Hebrews 13:20-21
In
Christ,
Rev.
Jacob Hercamp and Family

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Romans 5:8
“But God shows His
love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God did not wait for mankind to make the
first move. He did not wait for Adam and
Eve to come looking for Him – but He went and found them. And while we were still sinners, still
enemies of God, still set against Him, He sent His Son Jesus to suffer, die,
and rise for us. God was moved by His
own love and generosity and kindness. We
now seek to grow up into His image as loving, generous, and kind sons and
daughters of the Heavenly Father.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
