Faith Formation Ministry
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 19:46 "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers." The Lord's House is not a house of merchandize or profit - it is a House of Prayer where people freely offer up their petitions to the Lord and their produce for his purposes. Not compulsion or sharp dealing, but generosity and joy characterize the House of the Lord. "Freely you have received; freely give." That's pretty much the opposite of the world's marketplace! Tuesday Morning Bible Study There will be no Bible Study this Tuesday, August 2, due to Pastor Wise being on vacation.
