NEWS FROM THE KYLERS:  “Greetings in Christ Jesus our Lord!  I pray all is well.  I assume that by now everyone is gearing up for school to begin.  We moved into our new home in Bismarck, ND this past weekend, and I wanted to pass along our new address:  4111 Lockport St. #216, Bismarck, ND  58503.  I will be learning and serving Bethel Lutheran Church and Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, both in Bismarck.  Both of these churches are on the internet, record services, and are on Facebook if anyone would like to check them out.  Abigail and Jacob will attend Martin Luther Lutheran School in Bismarck.  This is a small school that reminds me a lot of White Creek Lutheran.  God’s blessings through our Savior, Jesus Christ!” – Jeff, Donna, Abigail, Jacob and James Kyler.

 MEMORIAL BRICKS for our sidewalk or Memory Garden may be ordered now through Labor Day.  Bricks are $100.  Contact Ernie & Donna Dettmer or Larry & Janice Claycamp if interested in placing an order.  If you would like a special clip-art included on your brick, see Becky in the office for a sheet of what is available.  Any brick orders received after Labor Day will be held until next year’s order is placed.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:                  Matthew 13:45-46
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”  Indeed, Jesus redeemed us, purchased us back from sin and death, with all that He had.  We belong to Him now.  And this is the foundation for our own generosity:  imitating the outsized generosity of Jesus.
BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
