A Message from Pastor Sell

The Divine Service or The Communion Service

What does that mean? Part 3 Thank you Jesus?

Finally, the pastor chants, or speaks, “Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God,” and the congregation responds, “It is good (meaning gracious and just) and right so to do.” When our Lord instituted the Sacrament of the Altar He gave thanks over bread and wine (1 Corinthians 11:23-25).

P: Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God

C: It is right to give Him thanks and Praise

Another name for the Sacrament that comes from the early Church is “Eucharist.” The term “Eucharist” is based on the Greek verb that means “to give thanks.” The pastor invites the congregation to give thanks to God for the salvation that Jesus Christ has won for us, and for Christ’s body and blood in the Sacrament through which Jesus delivers the benefits of His cross to us. In the reply to the pastor, the congregation agrees that giving thanks to the Lord our God is the only right and fitting thing to do since Christ comes among us in his body and blood for the very purpose, to deliver forgiveness to us.

Blessings in Christ,

Pr. Mark Sell

ESTATE PLANNING

Our Savior's Endowment is a way to extend your service to your children and grandchildren through the Kingdom of God. Think about helping Christ's church and Our Savior's future.

Have you considered placing OSL in your will or trust?

Did you know that you could give a percentage of your estate to OSL?

Did you know that you could give a percentage of your life insurance to OSL?

Memorials

Did you know that "memorial gifts" and "thanksgiving gifts" apart from our Sunday giving is separated out and designated to fix up and beautify the inside of our church?

It is customary for believers to give an additional gift as a memorial gift when someone they know and love from the body of Christ enters their eternal reward to be with Jesus. Sometimes people will give a "Thanksgiving" gift for an anniversary, a birthday, a grandchild's baptism, wedding, or confirmation or just because of how the Lord blessed them this past week.

These gifts are set aside an can only be used for those things that beautify and fix up our church and are always announced to the church.

Thanks to the many "memorial" gifts we receive for funerals along with special "thanksgiving" gifts the funds for these churchly needs is already gathered. In other words, they are already paid for!

THANKS BE TO GOD as He always provides for what His people need.

STORE CARDS

This is an ongoing program. We have a few envelopes on the table in the narthex for anyone who would like to order. All the profit goes toward the building fund principle. Cards are ordered on Mondays and available for pickup on Thursdays. For a complete list of cards that can be ordered visit ShopWithScrip | 700+ of your favorite brands

Bring us your used ink cartridges! Small printer ink cartridges, like the ones for home printers, are collected at the church. You can bring them to the office or place them in the collection container in the narthex, on the coat rack shelf. The church receives a small donation for each cartridge we collect!
