Luke’s version of the Sermon on the Mount includes both blessings and woes.  In this, Jesus outlines both the Kingdom of God and the way of being and acting for those allied to the Kingdom – the ones we call saints.  In truth, all the Baptized are saints because it is God’s grace that make them (read “us” here) just that.  It is the grace of God that is the source and goal of the Christian life.

In our worship today, we remember all the members of the congregation who have passed from this life to the next since last All Saints Day.  We also remember family and dear friends with the lighting of a candle and the tolling of the bell.  Today we remember:  Neil Cornelissen, John Seimen Jr., Charlie Pimsl and Eiginna Ens.

Today as well, we celebrate the entry into the Church of Lucas Bradley Angelini, son of Julie and David Angelini.  Lucas’ Godparents are Melanie and Steve Knapp.  We are happy to celebrate with you all! 

Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Colin Hayes, Elfriede Hayes, 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.
