THE LUTHERAN HOUR Today on KURM (790 AM) at 12:30 P.M. & The Bott Radio Network at 8 A.M. on 89.3 F.M. “Pigeonholed” Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus—Just when you think you are getting to know Jesus, He says something which can confuse. Today the world remains confused about God’s Son, our Savior. That’s because Jesus refuses to be pigeonholed by the world’s desires or expectations. He’s God’s Son, Who has come to save humankind. Anything else, or different than this, is simply unacceptable.
(John 6:42)

OUTREACH MINISTRY TEAM The Outreach Ministry Team is conducting a survey during both services today. We plan to take a more focused approach in 2019 and want to make sure that focus is on things that you care about! Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and hand it to an usher at the end of the service. If you’d like more time to complete the survey, please place it in the Outreach box in the workroom at your convenience. Thank you for your time! Your Outreach Ministry Team --
Dave Lehenbauer & Casey Bolte.
HELP NEEDED We recently lost several of our late service Greeters. If you can help out with saying “Good Morning” to fellow members of the congregation, please contact the office.
PRAYER PALS Cameron is looking for several outstanding volunteers to be Prayer Pals for 2018-2019. Prayer Pals sit and talk with their students, go through their High and Lows, discuss what they are learning and pray with them. It takes about 15-20 minutes each month and is a huge impact on the lives of our young men and women. If you are interested please speak with Cameron.
CONFIRMATION SMALL GROUP GUIDES Cameron is looking for Small Group Guides for confirmation this fall. It is their role to lead a small group of students in a discussion on each weeks topic. If you are interested, please speak to Cameron for more details.
LIFE THOUGHTS IN CHURCH. The antidote to despair is not autonomy (1 Kings 19::4). God only gives (or reserves!) daily bread to draw hearts into the bakery and unto the Bread-Maker (John 6:35, 44). He has designed human beings for community (1 Kings 19:7), and our opponent has no countermeasure for compassion. When we don’t apathetically abandon those facing life-or-death situations but instead embrace and assist, we receive them as treasures from heaven. Giver of Life, strengthen us to strengthen others with Your ways. Amen. (Pentecost XII)
GREETERS, READERS, VIDEO OPERATORS, OFFICE HELPERS, COUNTERS We are looking ahead to fourth quarter scheduling. If you have vacations or other obligations planned during October, November, and December, please let us know. We will not schedule you at times you specify. Thanks for looking ahead and for all you do.
LIFE QUOTES “When the end of life is near, may we be willing to speak up for those who are the most vulnerable here as well. States across this nation are considering legalizing assisted suicide. We have a voice. We need to use it! Do not let the voice of the evil one be the most vocal. Be voices For Life!” Virginia Flo, Lutherans For Life Regional Director of Minnesota. If you wish to support this ministry, you may do so through their web site: www.lutheransforlife.org
