August 11th we will have The Bible, a Burger, and a Beer while we review
chapters 26-50 of Genesis. Since Pastor Christopher is the Quizmaster for the
evening he and Jane will be at Overtime by 5:15 to order and eat, so join us
then if you can or come by 6:00 and listen to the questions while you enjoy a
great burger or steak. If you would like to participate on a team please talk
to Bobby or Cindell (the masterminds behind the event).

on Sunday, August 18 at 3:30 with a reception and meal to follow. The saints at

AN APOLOGETICS STUDY BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER. What is Apologetics you may ask? Apologetics comes from
the word apology, but the kind of apology as; “to defend”, such as Apology
of the Augsburg Confession (one our documents we subscribe to
adhere). Apologetics is how to defend the Faith in a Christian (Lutheran)
manner and perspective (worldview) when asked or challenged by another’s perspective.
Questions of this day and age, in science, theology, and everyday life.
Questions like; Is there a Hell? How do we know there is a God? Is the Creation
account true? What does God say about Marriage? What does God say about Gender
Identity? Do you have these questions? How would you answer someone
who asked you these questions? Available times will be Wednesday mornings
at 6:00am (Men’s Group), Wednesday Evenings at 6:30pm (anyone can attend, but
especially invited are the former Tuesday night study group and the 2019
Confirmation cohort), and/or Sunday after worship (if arrangements can be made
concerning vacancy coverage, or alternate teachers). More information
will be given in August and a sign-up sheet will be available to order
materials. – Pastor Makelin
APOLOGETICS STUDY (STARTING IN SEPTEMBER) TOPICS: How do we speak the Truth in
Love with Our Neighbor? What tools do we use when we defend the Faith? Did
Jesus really die and rise again? When will Jesus return? How did the Bible come
to be? Is the Creation account true? What do we know about evolution? Is there
evidence of the Flood? Is the God of the Old Testament the same God of the New
Testament? What is my identity? Does human life matter and when does it begin
and end? As a Christian, can I like science? Why do bad things happen? What
does God want me to do as a Christian? What does God say about marriage, gender
identity, miracles, ghosts, aliens, and many more? Wednesdays at 6:00am,
6:30pm, and possibly after services on Sunday. A sign-up sheet will be coming soon
to order materials. - Pastor Makelin
