THE POPE…. The Word conjures up many
different thoughts. Some say he’s the
bishop of Rome and nowhere else. Others
say that he is the true earthly head of the Christian Church. Still others say that he is the
antichrist. What do we with one voice
believe and confess about the office of Pope?
Come to Bible study today when we will begin looking into what our
confessions say about this office.
SUNDAY SCHOOL grades 1-8 will begin
practice for the Christmas program in church today. Preschool – Kindergarten will meet in the
kindergarten room to practice their songs.

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Matt. 25:30
“And cast the
worthless servant into the outer darkness.” Why did the worthless servant act the way he
did? Because of what he believed about
the Master. He didn’t trust or love the
Master – and so his actions did not demonstrate love and trust, but rather hate
and mistrust. It’s the same with us, but
in reverse: since we know our Lord God to be faithful and kind, we desire to
serve Him and render faithful service with what He has given us. T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
