Main Street Living – Sept. 1^st – Kid’s Crossing encourages us to ask God for guidance and forgiveness as King David did.  The featured speaker is Rev. Bret Bierman from Trinity Lutheran Church in Mansfield and St. Paul Lutheran Church in Stratford.  His sermon theme will be “The Full Armor of God.”  The program is interpreted for the hearing impaired.

NEXT SUNDAY IS RALLY DAY POTLUCK:  The Board of Ed would like to invite the congregation to a Rally Day Potluck. We will be preparing Brauts and Hot dogs and are asking the congregation to bring a side dish or dessert. We are planning for a great SS year and are hoping to see you all there.

ROTH - THOMAS WEDDING – On Saturday, Sept. 7^th, Elliot Thomas and Christa Roth will enter the holy estate of matrimony according to God’s Word.  They desire our prayers so that they may begin their marriage in God’s Name and with His blessing.  We thank our Lord for creating the institution of marriage and ask God to bless this couple with peace and love.  May they be faithful in service to our Lord and reflect His love by showing love to and for each other.

INSTALLATION OF TEACHERS – Our Sunday School and Midweek School teachers will be installed during next week’s worship service.

THANK YOU, REV. SESTAK, for leading us in worship today!  We sincerely appreciate your Christian service to our Lord, to His Church and to our congregation!
