Someone, at least two weeks ago, left their copy of The Story in the basement at church and hasn't claimed it. It is in the office for you to pick up if it is yours.

LWML convention update from Coleen Bottorff
-------- Original message --------
From: Coleen Bottorff

To: jeremy klaustermeier
Subject: LWML
Linda and I had a great trip to Kansas City and the convention this past weekend. We heard some interesting speakers and messages and enjoyed several skits. We elected several new officers - the new Missouri District president is from Perryville. We adopted a budget for the next biennium that will fund 13 mission grants.(several will benefit the seminary) We were allowed to bring home the St. Charles Zone banner that Joyce Luebke designed. You can take a look at it - It is hanging in the sanctuary for everyone to see. We will have it for a month or so and then it will go to another congregation to display.
In Christ, Coleen
Libby Pailer Progress (From Larry Pailer)
Hi everyone! Saturday night I stayed with my beloved bride. The couch could have been a foot longer but I did Ok. I had brought one of Lib's quilts and it brought a big smile from her when she saw it. We went to supper together. I brought a deck of cards and she whopped me twice in gin rummy. This hospital stay has now slowed her game at all. We walked to the patio with her walker. It is quite aways. We do not need an aide to be with her now. Careful is the operative word. All in all we had a pleasant time. For the doubtful , no Hanky Panky went on. See!!! I know what you might be thinking. The Lord has blessed us both with your prayers. Tuesday we go to the hospital to get her staples out. Hopefully we might know when she can come home. i will keep all apraised as it happens. Love to all from Lib and Larry P

Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries
By Pastor Ken Klaus, Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour

"Reborn"
June 23, 2014
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
So, let's see the hands of those readers of the Daily Devotions who are getting older.
As far as I can tell from here, that includes just about everyone. Some of the folks who didn't hold up their hands say they didn't do so because they thought I would ask them to publicly reveal their age. Others didn't do so because they believe I can't see them from the keyboard of my computer.
The truth is we are all getting older, and not necessarily better. The things we used to do easily are now harder or impossible to accomplish. The illnesses we once shrugged off are now only conquered after a prolonged battle. Then, of course, there are the folks whose immune systems have been battered by chemotherapy.
Because all of this is true, many of us might easily find ourselves musing, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could restore those weakened immune systems?"
Well, it appears that scientists at the University of Southern California say they may have discovered a way to do just that. That way is: fasting. Yup. Fasting. When they put folks on a cycle of two-to-four-day fasts, which took place over a period of six months, the results were dramatic. As near as I can tell from their big words, the bodies of these folks ended up breaking down the old immune system and beginning with an almost new one.
Please remember the Daily Devotions are not designed to offer medical advice, and they certainly shouldn't be used to start some kind of procedure without a physician's blessing. All we are reporting is this: scientists think it is possible to jump start a new immune system.
Oh, there is one other thing this devotion is saying. We are also saying there is no way for anybody to regenerate a sinful soul. Scripture is plain: the soul that sins will die. (See Ezekiel 18:20.) Try as you will, you can't change that fact.
This is why we all need a Savior.
In 2 Corinthians 5:17, St. Paul tells us when we are in Christ, we have become a new creation, the old has passed away, and the new has come. Peter agrees with Paul and amplifies that concept when he says we have been born again to a living hope. (See 1Peter 1:3-9.)
Indeed, through the resurrection of the Savior, the eternal destiny is changed for all who are given faith in the Redeemer. Once they were destined to hell, but now they are headed toward heaven. Once there was no escape from damnation, but now salvation is their lot.
The rebirth the Savior brings about is a thing too wonderful for words. It may be too wonderful for words, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to express an everlasting thankfulness for God's gracious, blood-bought gift.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, I give thanks that through Your life and resurrection I have been born again. May I live as a thankful person who is most grateful for this new lease on eternal life. In Your Name. Amen.
All too often the job of reaching others is left to others. That can be unfortunate. After all, there are times when YOU may be the best person to reach someone who is lost or wandering. If you have always wanted to know how to do such a sharing of the Savior, you may want to attend Lutheran Hour Ministries' SENT Outreach Conference, which is July 24-27 in Detroit. For more information, visit www.lhm.org/conference.
In Christ I remain His servant and yours,

JUST A NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ATTEND WORSHIP
Always remember and never forget what you RECEIVE in WORSHIP! You get to hear words directly from God. You get to have fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ, and those who are confirmed get to receive Christ's body and blood for the forgiveness of their sins. Everyone gets to publicly confess their sinfulness and hear the DIRECT words of forgiveness of Christ through the pastor.
There is nothing more important in the life of a Christian on Sunday morning than worship!
So far this Summer our worship attendance has been awful. It is understandable if you are out of town, but if you are in town there is NO EXCUSE. Just because it is Summer vacation from school and other things doesn't mean it should be Summer vacation from worship!
God never takes a break from you and you shouldn't take a break from Him and His gifts either. His gifts of His Word and His Sacraments are of utmost importance in your life and your family's life. Please make every effort to be in worship for your own sake and for the sake of your brothers and sisters in Christ!
Make plans to be in worship this Saturday night or Sunday morning especially as we induct Kelsey Overbeck!
