One Family Bible Class As the kids take a vacation from Sunday School, it gives us adults an opportunity to tackle a timely issue. Join us in the Family Life Center over the next 4 weeks as we study "The Intersection of Church and State." This is an award winning, video based Bible study produced by Lutheran Hour Ministries. With issues of religious freedom becoming more and more prevalent it is important to understand what God's Word has to say about the Church and the state. Join us. Stewardship Sentence  Luke 16:8 "For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light." The sons of this world know that they should use their wealth wisely to provide for their future. Shouldn't we "sons of light" know that the wealth God has allowed us to manage should be managed for God's purposes in roles He has given us to play in Church, home, and society? Don't we have more to live for, more to work for, and more to give toward? Tuesday Morning Bible Study There will be no Bible Study for the next two Tuesdays (July 26, August 2) due to Pastor Wise being on vacation.
