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
