“THESES” ARE STILL
AVAILABLE. 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” were posted on the 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 is 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 14:30
“But when he saw
the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’” The world, really, is a scary place – natural
disasters, disease, terrorism, and a hundred other things. But where do we place our hope, our trust –
our vision? Where do we look for aid and comfort? When Peter’s eyes were on the Lord, he had
confidence. When he turned to look at
his problems and took his eyes off the Lord, he fell apart. Sometimes God’s call to support the work of
His Church with our offerings makes us nervous.
But put your eyes back on your Lord, trust Him, follow His Word, and
all, really, will be well.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
