October 7 Weekly News


THE QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING will be held this evening at 7:00pm.  **Please note that election of officers and approval of those appointed for 2019 will be among the business at hand.**  All confirmed members of our congregation, 18 years and older, are encouraged to attend. The nominations for elected and appointed positions are again included in today’s weekly news.

YOUTH GROUPS will meet this evening at 7:00pm.

OPEN HOUSE:  Trinity Lutheran High School invites students and their families to an open house today from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. All eighth grade students will receive a $75 voucher that covers registration costs at Trinity for the 2019-2020 school year. Please enter through the commons. We hope to see you there!

NEXT SUNDAY we will observe LWML Sunday and celebrate all that God has done through the mission work of the Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML).  The LWML has given a Laborers of Love Mission Grant (#14) of $100,000 to the Lutheran Braille Workers to print 20,000 English Standard Version Bible in braille or large print at more than 100 LBW Work Centers for the blind and visually impaired.  These free Bibles of 37 volumes each will be shared to give needed spiritual nourishment to the more than 11 million visually challenged in the U.S., of which 95% have never heard the saving news of Jesus.   Pray for this mission grant ministry.  Mite boxes are available in our narthex if you would like to support this ministry with your daily spare change and may be turned in to our church office at any time.

MITES FOR MISSIONS:  Based on the Biblical account of the Widow’s Mite in Mark 12, the LWML Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” – offerings above and beyond the support given to the congregation and the Synod.  Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants.  The LWML has collected over $100 million dollars since 1942.  These coins have and will continue to make a difference by providing the opportunity to spread the Gospel to the world.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:     Mark 10:6       
“But from the beginning of creation...”  In recent years, our country, along with most all the (formerly) Christian nations of Europe, has lost its way when it comes to marriage.  We have ignored the fact that it is God Who created us.  We always go off the tracks when we forget that He made us and that everything good in this world comes from His hand.  In big things and in small things, in the life of a nation or the life of an individual, things go dreadfully wrong when we ignore the Creator’s instructions for life.
TBLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
