Weekly Announcements
Fall/Winter Worship Hours:
Traditional Worship is at 8:00 a.m. and Worship Express at 9:15 a.m.
Worship Express this year may look familiar; we will be following a similar format to what we used for Family Express prior to Covid. Songs will be “kid” friendly and shorter and one lesson will be read responsively with different groups of the congregation taking the parts of the different characters. There will be more visuals on the big screen, a Children’s Word and a shorter sermon. We are looking forward to having our families back at worship!
Sunday, October 6: Worship with Holy Communion/Quilt Sunday
In today’s gospel lesson Jesus is “the refuge and strength” for women and children. He comes down hard on divorce simply because it was so easy for men to divorce their wives. These women had nowhere to do. Their husbands were condemning them to a life of poverty. And then Jesus’ disciples were once again shooing the children away. Jesus was too important to waste his time with them. They just don’t get it.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, October 13: Worship/ Pig Feed and Harvest Fest
3rd graders will receive their Bibles at 9:15 am Worship Express
In today’s gospel lesson Jesus encounters a rich man what he must do to inherit internal life. The man is a good man, but Jesus can see that he loves his wealth more than God. He tells him, “Sell all you own and give it to the poor.” The man goes away heavy hearted, for he realizes that his money means more to him than God.
Guest Preacher: Pastor Margo Martens
Special Music: Chancel Choir
Sunday, October 20: Worship with Holy Communion
Jesus’ disciples on fighting over the same old thing. Now they are asking Jesus who will receive seats of honor when he is declared King. Jesus tells them what he has already told them numerous times, his followers “rule” through self-giving service.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, October 27: Worship/Reformation Sunday
We hear once again that to be the church yesterday, today and tomorrow we need to be open to change. We have to always be asking ourselves, “How do we live out the love of Christ in this time and this place?”
Guest Preacher: Katie Luther (Pastor Paula) will once again be joining us to share her wisdom.
