DID YOU KNOW that Martin Luther was one of the first Lutheran hymn writers? He knew that hymns were an important way to teach the Christian faith to the average person. So convinced was he that he wrote at least 36 hymns; we have 24 of them in our current hymnal. His hymns can be divided into 5 major categories. One of these is hymns that are based on the Psalms. As a monk, Luther prayed the entire psalter (all 150 Psalms) – not once per year or per month – but every week! He knew the Psalms forward and backward. He also knew that the Psalms were the hymns of ancient Israel. These were the hymns that Jesus Himself sang! What an obvious choice on which to model your hymn writing! Of Luther’s hymns, 7 are based on Psalms

SHORT-TERM MISSION OPPORTUNITIES – God has opened many doors for LCMS members to serve as missionaries and teachers. Several critical positions remain unfilled. In addition, there are more than 200 other 1-week to 2-year opportunities available to make the love of Christ known in Word and deed by serving within the LCMS World Missions organization. Perhaps one of these opportunities to share your God-given gifts is for you! Please see the Pastor for more information.
HELP SUPPLY VBS – If you are willing to donate supplies for our VBS program this year, please check the sign–up sheet on the bulletin board for what we need. Thank you.
THANK YOU! to all who remembered me on my 80th birthday with cards, verbal wishes and who joined me for cake during coffee hour. It made my day so very special. I truly feel blessed and may God continue to bless each of you as well. (s) Norbert Geidel
