Greetings! God is with us!

Reminder: Worship time this Sunday is 10:00 a.m. We will return to our usual schedule next week.

How to find a disciple
What does a follower of Jesus look like? There may be stereotypes, but in reality Christians look lots of different ways because we come from all nations on earth and from all walks of life. The one thing that Jesus told his disciples would be the distinguishing characteristic of the Christian would be love. "By this all people will know that you are my disciples: if you love each other." We'll be in John 13:31-35

Thank you, Mrs. Winkler! Also on Sunday morning we will thank God for the ministry of our preschool director, Ann Winkler. She has been with us for twenty-five years and in the ministry for forty years. Mrs. Winkler's love for the children and dedication to Joyful Noise Preschool has been a great blessing to our congregation and community. After the service at 10:00 a.m. please stick around and enjoy lunch with us.

Lord's Supper
Also on Sunday we will celebrate the Lord's Supper. Scripture admonishes us all to examine ourselves before the join together in the Sacrament. Luther's catechism includes a guide to that spiritual self examination. You can find it in the catechism, on page 295 of the "new" blue hymnal, page 156 of the "old" red hymnal or here: https://catechism.cph.org/en/questions-answers.html

Thanks for reading!

Peace,
Pastor Pete
