DID YOU NOTICE the wooden door
in the narthex? One aspect of our
October 29th celebration of the 500th
Anniversary of The Reformation will be to assemble backpacks for an
Orphan Grain Train special project: School Kits. In order to have the supplies needed for the
school kits, you are asked to consider donating school supplies (on sale now)
and/or the cost of mailing them. In
keeping with our Reformation theme, 95 “theses” have been posted on that wooden
door in the narthex. Each “theses” has
school supplies listed on the back. If
you take a “theses” please return the school supplies on your “theses” by
October 1. A box will be available in
the narthex for these supplies.
“WELL, IT’S BEEN
500 YEARS! On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted 95
theses for debate on the church door of the castle church n Wittenberg,
Germany. Little did he know the impact
that simple act would have. 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

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Matthew 14:17-18
“They said to him,
‘We have only five loaves here and two fish.’
And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’”
When the disciples held on to the five loaves and two fish – that’s
exactly what they had. But when they
handed them over to the Lord, the multitudes are fed. Apart from Jesus all we do and all we have is
nothing – but in Jesus all we do and have is blessed to be used by the Lord for
His gracious work.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
