AFTER SERVICE APOLOGETICS STUDY begins Sunday, September 8th (I'm
calling it Christian Fellowship Study - Pastor) in the Youth room upstairs (for
now). If you have not signed up, come anyways, we can share workbooks
until we get you one. What is Apologetics you may ask? Apologetics comes
from the word apology, not "I'm sorry" but “to defend” (such as Apology
of the Augsburg Confession). Apologetics is how to defend the Faith
in a Christian (Lutheran) manner and perspective (worldview) when asked or
challenged by another perspective.
THIS MONTH'S MISSION/MINISTRY OF THE MONTH IS LUTHERANS
FOR LIFE. Sadly Life issues are more than just abortion,
which is huge by itself, but Lutherans for Life also deals with topics
such as; Abortion Healing, Sexuality, Capital Punishment, Embryonic Adoption,
Contraceptives/Abortifacients, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, End of Life, Eugenics,
Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, Fetal Tissue Research, Human Cloning, In Vitro
Fertilization, Hospital Ethics, Marriage, Population Control, Therapeutic
Incubation and more, though the lens of our Christian Worldview and the
sanctity of Life. The greater chapter for Lutherans for Life can be
accessed online though many social media outlets, as well as www.lutheransforlife.org
or call 800-325-3040, or the local chapter at South Eastern South Dakota
Lutherans For Life (SESDLFL), Joy Ellis, P. O. 265, Menno, SD 57045.
