Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:

We all like to pretend we are all brave gamblers at heart, but the real truth is more likely that we are mostly risk averse. That’s a problem when it comes to follow Jesus. The people in this week’s gospel reading - Matthew, the woman and the synagogue leader – all are put in risky situations when Jesus comes by. There is not time to consider, there is no reason to guide them, they must simply do. And they do! And that is sufficient for God, that is righteousness. It is an act of mercy when we trust in Jesus, a new creation of the trust he has in us.

This is the theme of the Sunday night message / Bible study for the 7:00pm Worship that will be this Sunday in the

Prayer Garden.

Who wrote the Bible? Humans? God? It seems that we ascribe meaning to the text based on our answer to that question. So answering it well is how we get the most meaning out of it.

 Come and join us as we seek a simpler, more faithful,

and better way.

Faith Chests

The men’s group of First Lutheran has in the past built faith chests to give to individuals baptized at First Lutheran church to use in their faith journey. When the Covid pandemic started we were no longer able to build those chests. Several people have asked if we are going to resume building faith chests, to that end we are looking for members who would be interested in helping make faith chests again.

We have all of the equipment and components necessary and need helping hands to build, sand, stain, and attach hardware and finish the chests. We normally work 1 night a week for a couple hours, if enough interest is shown we could have 2 groups on different nights.

No previous experience building faith chests necessary, we have a few men who have experience building chests but we need more to continue with this wonderful project.

This group is very informal and is not limited to men, we would welcome ladies interested in working with wood, or helping assemble, sand, stain, etc.

If interested contact Dawn in the church office 402-426-4073 or Rick Ruhge @ rickruhge@gmail.com or 402-802-5898

Communion Update:

Thank you for helping with this accommodation for Pastor Glen: because it is difficult for Pastor to bring communion to members in the pews, if you find it physically difficult to come forward during communion, we invite you to pick up the communion elements as you come into the Sanctuary and receive them during the communion liturgy when the Pastor indicates.

Pastor Glen's contact information

Pastor Glen's email is pastorglen@firstlutheranblair.org and his cell phone number is (402) 740-6395

if you need to contact him.
