DEVOTION: (FROM PASTOR) Calling the twelve to Him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness...... Matthew 10:1-15
As I read this from my daily Bible this morning it reminded me of Halloween and kids going out to trick or treat. The only difference is that kids go from house to house to get candy, while the disciples went from house to house and town to town to give forgiveness, life, salvation, and healing.
I love worship. I had three different and wonderful worship services this weekend. Yet, there comes a time when we need to get out, to leave and proclaim all of God's goodness and grace to the rest of the world.
How did you wake up this morning? Did you want to stay in bed? Did you want to leisurely get up drink your coffee, read the paper and lounge around? I sure did. It would have been nice to take my time, to linger around, and to just hide away in the bed for a day.
But God doesn't call any of us to that. He sends us out! He gives us power, maybe not power to drive out demons and heal every disease and sickness, but power to proclaim His good news.
As much as we would love to just rest and relax in God's grace, and as much as there is a time for that, the time is not to get moving! It is time to share the Gospel! It is time to invite people to church and to Sunday school! It is time to go out so that the blessing syou received in worship yesterday may flow through you so that you may be a blessing to others!
Prayer: Lord God, help me to be a bold blessing to others today! Amen.

A NEW ADULT BIBLE STUDY STARTED YESTERDAY!!!
Even though you missed the beginning you can still get in on it! We haven't really begun the study but only introduced things!
IT IS FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF BIBLE KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE!!
It is called "Lutheranism 101". It is an in depth study of the Lutheran church and our teachings, but it is not just for Bible scholars. It is for EVERYONE!
If you know of someone who wants to know more about the Lutheran faith, for whatever reason, this is a great study for them.
If you know someone interested in joining our church, this is the perfect study for them.
If you were confirmed years ago and have forgotten a lot of what you learned, this is the study for you!
If you know it all, and remember it all and want to help by sharing your knowledge with others, this is a good Bible study for you.
All in all it is a GREAT Bible study for anyone and everyone. Invite your unchurched friends! Come by yourself. Drop your kids off at Sunday school and come on over!
Please reply with any questions you may have or just to tell me you are coming!
