Stewardship Principle No. 5 Accept a Challenge
"...the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
2 Corinthians 9:6

Accept a challenge means recognizing the dynamic nature of our faith. As our faith grows, so will our blessings and our resonsibilities.
The Word This Sunday
November 17, 2019
23rd Sunday After Pentecost
The end is near. There is no doubt about it. The warnings are dire. The tone of today’s texts is ominous. But the baptized know how to live in the “meantimes.” The baptized are strengthened for the living of these days in word and sacrament. The baptized rally around the invitation of the apostle: “Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.”

A day of blistering heat for the arrogant; a day of healing sun for the righteous

In righteousness will the Lord judge the world.  (Ps. 98:9)

Do not be idle, but do what is right for the sake of Christ

Jesus speaks of wars, endurance, betrayal, and suffering for his sake
On Sunday, November 24, 2019, immediately following our 10 am worship at Schaeffer Memorial Chapel, everyone is invited to a potluck lunch with newly installed Bishop Kevin Strickland. The lunch will take place at St. Luke Lutheran Church starting at 11:30 am, with a Q&A session starting around noon. St. Luke is providing ham and rolls; all who attend are requested to bring a dish (last name starting with A-N please bring side dishes, last name starting with O-Z please bring dessert.). The Epiphany Council will meet with Bishop Strickland after the Q & A on Sunday afternoon.
Lunch with Bishop Strickland!
