| Pastor Scott's Message  One of the goals of our 75th anniversary is to reach out to those who have blessed us. On Sunday September 9th and 16th, Rev. Paul Robinson returns to teach during the Bible Class hour. His topic is "The Impact of the Reformation." I hope we stuff the room with people. You will learn about God's church and the power of the Gospel over the centuries. You know Dr. Robinson as the husband of Jane, our longtime children's choir director, and father of Emily, James and William. I know him as my former professor of Historical theology at Concordia Seminary. He taught my class H-130 "The Lutheran Reformation" a history of the 16th century reformer. We read selections from Luther's writings, Luther's works, Luther's Faith, Major documents and Dr. Robinson's own book, "Martin Luther: A Life Reformed." He blessed me with his passion for Christ, Luther and history. He was more than a teacher to us; he was a pastor. To the world, Dr. Robinson is a scholar. He received his Master of Divinity and Master of Sacred Technology from Concordia Seminary (1989, 1994). He also holds a bachelor's degree from Concordia University, Chicago in River Forest, IL (1985), and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (2001). Robinson is also an editor of The Annotated Luther Volume 3: Church and Sacraments, to which he also contributed the selection "On the Councils and the Church" (Augsburg). He is author of the biography Martin Luther: A Life Reformed (Pearson Longman). In addition to writing essays and articles for other publications and various journals, Robinson has presented at conferences around the country and internationally. His Concordia Journal article, "Three Myths about the Crusades: What They Mean for Christian Witness" from the winter 2016 issue, received a second-place Award of Merit in 2016 from the Associated Church Press. Whether you have been blessed by the Robinson family, Paul Robinson's teaching or his works, come and hear him again a week from Sunday in the Family Life Room from 10:30 to 11:45am.

Leadership Nominations The Leadership Council is accepting nominations for two members to serve on the Leadership Council to replace outgoing Council members Bruce Hartung and Andy Ryan and for nominations for two members to serve as Elders to replace outgoing Elders Robert Lubben and Ron Froesel. Each position on the Leadership Council and as an Elder carries a three-year term. Please let anyone on Leadership Council or the Elders know if you would like to nominate someone (including yourself) to fill one of these positions. We hope to have nominations no later than early-September so the Leadership Council can consider them and provide recommendations in advance of our October 2018 Voters' Meeting. |

Russia declares war on Japan! The Asiatic seas controlled by our fighting Navy. We think the war is over...stateside voyage is not far away. Thanks for thinking of me...hope the next copy of Ink Links reaches me before my orders change again... Jim Mueller, U.S. Navy |
One Amazing Story from Samaritans Purse - OCC "Pastor Waisea Liwaiono hosted an Operation Christmas Child outreach in rural Fiji that had no church. He then invited the children to attend The Greatest Journey discipleship program. As the students gathered for Bible lessons, their parents grew curious and began attending too. The local witchdoctor became a believer and offered his property as a place for the new church to meet. Today 80 people attend regularly, and five additional churches have been started in surrounding villages!" This follow-up of Sunday's presentation about our mission project Operation Christmas Child is just one of hundreds of amazing results derived from the gift of the book The Greatest Journey that is added to your shoebox at the distribution centers. Imagine 11 million boxes being opened, prayed over and embellished with this gift. Thank you for your participation in our outreach! Blessings on you and the child who receives your gift. |
Notes from the Music Director Sing! Sing! Sing! Choir! Choir! Choir! Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 7:00pm in the Choir Room. I have chosen an outstanding program this fall including 6 new anthems! Come and see--come and sing! The choir sings 3 Sundays each month. If you have doubts about your singing ability please call or see me--in less than two minutes I can determine your voice range and will be happy to "blend you in" with the very dedicated regular choir members! Please read Psalms 147-150. |
Hands on Kirkwood Collection On October 6, 2018, Hands On Kirkwood will hold its 8th Annual "Free Winter Clothing Store."
