HEY MEN—on October 21st we will begin the Men’s Bible classes again. Our study will focus on the book of Romans. Martin Luther said this about the book of Romans—“This epistle is the real chief part of the New Testament, and the very purest Gospel, which deserves that a Christian not only know it word for word, but also deal with it daily as with the daily bread for the soul...” Well, we won’t learn it word for word, but we will study it intently to see what God is telling us about Grace, love, Jesus, forgiveness, and a host of other important topics. This first class will start at 9:30-ish and will continue for probably 12-15 weeks, which will take us thru the entire winter months. Come and get your donuts, and a cup of coffee! FORGET ABOUT HUNTING DEER—TAKE TIME TO HUNT THRU THE SCRIPTURE FOR REAL MEAT!! PLEASE JOIN US ON OCTOBER 21st—all you need to bring is your Bible. God bless you guys in this study!! Dave Lehenbauer
DAILY BREAD PRAYERS The following prayers will written by members of the confirmation class as they studied the Lord’s Prayer’s petition on “Give us this day our daily bread”:
Prayer 1
Dear God, thank you for all our great friends that help us in all our hard times. Thank you for the church where we learn about you. Thank you for our parents who take care of us no matter what. Thank you for all our siblings who are so helpful, Amen.
Prayer 2
Thank you for my dog, even though she can be mean sometimes, she is cute. Thank you for my cat, he's the best fuzzball in the west. Thank you for my warm and safe shelter and home, Thank you for my dad that is helpful and cool. I am also thankful for the environment that you have given us to hunt in. Amen.
LIFE QUOTES “Look at your infancy and give thought to whether you remember that you were in your mother’s womb, that you lay in a cradle, that you sucked your mother’s breasts, cried, ate pap, grew, etc. Yet we are certainly alive even during the first year, when the fetus is carried in the mother’s womb.” Martin Luther (LW 5:75) –If you wish to support this ministry, you can do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org
