Church Picnic Help

Hey folks!!
 
Our church picnic is coming up on September 8 at noon at Mim Dunn's house!!!  She has a wonderful property with a lake and a trail in through the woods, and just beautiful scenery.  I am excited to be out there with you all!
 
That being said, we need help with a few things:
 
1. Workers:  (The biggest need)  People and trucks to haul chairs and tables from church to her place and back to church after the picnic is done.  (it will require at least two, probably three pick ups, and four or five people who are able to carry tables and chairs.  The more the better and the quicker it will get done.  YOUNGER BACKS and KNEES ARE MUCH APPRECIATED!!
 
2.  Canopies:  We also need canopies to cover at least a few of our tables and chairs.   Any size will do but the bigger the better.  Depending on size we will need five or six of them. 
 
3.  Grillers:  We need two or three people to be responsible for the grilling and taking care of the grill. 
 
 
Most of these things are day before and day of things so it won't require a whole lot of time. 
 
Please reply to this email or call/text me at 359-1061 to let me know of your willingness to help!!

DEVOTION: The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.....  But we have the mind of Christ.  1 Corinthians 2: 14 and 16b
 
There are a lot of things in this world I don't understand.  I don't understand how to work a Smartphone well enough to be able to use even half of the apps on it.  I don't understand how a teenager's mind works even though I was a teenager once.  I don't understand why the Vikings haven't ever won a Super Bowl and how I still get my hopes up every year. 
 
One thing I do understand though is that Jesus died on the cross as a propitiation (payment or satisfaction) for my sins.  I understand it, not with my own mind, but with the mind of Christ.  My own mind (brain) is sinful and it cannot comprehend Spiritual things, but with the mind of Christ I can comprehend what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me in Word and Sacraments. 
 
You can too!  If you have the Holy Spirit in you and you believe in Christ by His power, you too can understand all that God has revealed to you!  Live in the peace that you have the mind of Christ and a soul that has been redeemed by Him forever! 
 
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, thank you for giving me your mind!  Amen.

PRAYERS FOR OUR SERVICEMEN

I have been compiling a list of servicemen who are members of St John's so that we can pray for them.  Below is a list of them and where they are currently stationed.  Please note that their stationing changes quickly, so this may not even be up to date, but it is the last known whereabouts that I have of these guys. 
 
Danny Dreyer-  Army- 2nd Lieutenant- Ranger, GERMANY
 
Sam Hargrove- Army- 2 Lieutenant- Ft Rucker, Alabama, will be going through helicopter flight school and other training
 
David Mincemeyer- Army- Army Specialist- Ft. Carson, CO
 
Jon Rahn- Navy- Hawaii, not sure of his rank at this time
 
David Tate- Air Force- 2nd Lieutenant- Jacksonville, Florida
 
Alex Walters- Navy- E4- Guam
 
Ryan Woolf- Air Force- Airman 1st Class- Buckley Air Force Base, near Denver, CO
 
 
If there are more out there that I just don't know about, please let me know, and I will include him/her on the list.
 
Also, if you would like your family member or friend included in this list, please reply to this email with all the information!
 
 
Pray for these guys.  Some of these guys are in harm's way right now, others are training to put themselves in harm's way.  All of them have volunteered to serve and protect their country (which is you).
