    SENIOR ADULT BIBLE STUDY Gospel of John 

    In our study of John’s gospel, we will take a journey through the life of Jesus. John offers perhaps the clearest reason why the Holy Spirit has given us these inspired writings: “…these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31).  We’ll apply our Savior’s teachings to our own lives throughout the study. The class will be taught by Staff Minister Hering in the Church Office Classroom on Tuesdays at 10:30 am, beginning January 8th and continuing through March 19th.

    JOSEPH, CARPENTER OF STEEL

    Adult Sunday Morning Study at 9:15am, December  9, 16 & 30.  Childcare provided. What stands out most about Joseph is how common and ordinary he was. You might say he was just an “average Joe,” like most of us. Who expects his or her name to be written in history books, or to have buildings, streets or cities named after them? Joseph never dreamed what God was up to in his time and in his life, until the angel spoke to him about amazing things.  When he discovered his betrothed was pregnant, everything changed and instead of ending in disharmony and divorce, he found this child to be the source of his greatest joy.

    Winter Cleaning: School and Church

    An Our Savior Lutheran Church & School undecorating/cleaning/work day has been scheduled for Saturday, January 5th starting at 8:30am.  We are looking for help from both church and school families.  Please consider joining us for some fun, fellowship, and cleaning!

  • 2019 Bible Reading Plan

    2019 Bible Reading Plan

    Dear Friends in Christ,

    Our Lutheran heritage celebrates Luther’s emphasis on “By Scripture Alone”.  For too long the common person had had too little opportunity for individual exposure to the Word.  Luther was dedicated to put the Word into the hands of the people and to instruct them in the truths of Scripture. Couple that with Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press and the availability of the Word began to be more common. Today the explosion of Scripture availability is proof of God’s intent to have all men to be saved and to bring the saving gospel into all the world.

    Last year your Spiritual Growth Committee encouraged you to read The Daily Bible, a unique chronological arrangement of the Scriptures.  For those of you that followed the readings we pray that you have been blessed by reading.  If anyone might be interested in doing the reading this year read more online or contact the church office and get the short introduction booklets that provide focus on each day’s readings.

    Today we have multiple ways in which we can be in the Word.  Using your own Bible and doing some research you can find multiple reading plans.  Online resources and a variety of Bible translations are readily available. (more…)

  • November 25th Prayers

    November 25th Prayers

    Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah … and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment. (Judges 4:4-5)

    “You want me to do what?” could have been Deborah’s response when Barak, commander of the army, stated, “If you will go with me [into battle], I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go” (Judges 4:8b). After all, it was Barak, not Deborah, God told to go into battle!

    Deborah had many reasons not to go with Barak. She was a judge; she was needed by the people. She wasn’t a warrior; women didn’t go to war. She was a wife; her household came first. But she used none of these as excuses. She went with the troops, encouraging them, and God gave them victory over the enemy.

    God chose Deborah to support Barak and his troops. God also gives us opportunities to support and encourage others. It may be in a card, a letter, or a phone call. It may be at a food bank or at a health center. It may be praying with someone.

    And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works … encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24, 25b).

    Christian Aid and Relief – Thank you, heavenly Father, for the work of WELS Christian Aid and Relief to provide assistance to victims of disasters and humanitarian aid to those in need. We praise you that these loving actions have opened doors to ministry all over the world. Help us to always see the opportunities you give us to “build bridges for the gospel” through loving actions that come from our faith in you. Amen. (more…)
