We return again this week to the topic of prayer with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in the Temple.  Anyone can pray; the difference is often the attitude one brings to prayer.  Do we pray out of pride or humility?  Do we pray out of the lies we tell ourselves or out of the truth we know?
  
Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, Frieda Neukamm, George Simonis, Ed Stanat and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Offering Envelopes - Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations.  If you need more envelopes, there are some in the Fellowship Hall.
