DEVOTION: Psalm 131 (ESV)

131 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
    my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
    too great and too marvelous for me.
²But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child is my soul within me.

³O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.

We can imagine David writing this with all manner of struggle that was going on in his life.

1. He had the guilt and shame of adultery and murder.

2. He was in charge of a nation that was constantly at war.

Those two things would be enough to crush anyone. Yet, David found his calm in the Lord in the middle of all of this. Like a young toddler (weaned child) who is always calmed when his mom is around, so David is calmed when he remembers that the Lord has not left him or forsaken him.

If you were ever separated from your mom or dad in a crowd when you were a little child you may remember how horrifying that was. Nothing but terror is going through your mind at that time. Then as soon as you could see your mom again, calm like nothing else you could ever experience would come over you.

That's what David experienced when he relied on the Lord for his strength, power, and peace.

There may be a lot of things that are causing you distress these days, making your mind spin out of control, and filling your thoughts with terror and distress. At these times remember that the Lord is right by your side, that He lives in you, and will remain forever! This, and this alone, in an ever increasing out of control world, will give you peace!

Prayer: Lord, when my world is out of control, control me and give me peace. Amen.

RESULTS OF VOTERS MEETING YESTERDAY

Reports of boards and committees were given:

Official Votes

1. The building master plan was approved. The next step is for the president to appoint a building committee and a finance committee.

2. Money from Ken Wagner estate will go into the building fund.

Other Discussion:

Much discussion was had on the future of Kelsey and the DCE program in general. Concern was given that there was simply not enough money in the budget to support her and all the other things that are needed. Others were concerned that if we don't support her and our youth that we will lose the youth. Several spoke to the point that the members of the congregation need to step up and do what is necessary to grow their church, including going home and praying, thinking about where they can make sacrifices and giving more in their offerings. This will be taken into consideration when putting the budget together and approving it.

CHOIR PRACTICE BEGINS ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31 AT 7PM!!

Anyone high school age or older is welcome!!! They need more singers. Please consider it and at least show up to the first practice to check it out! Call Barb Dreyer at 359-1906 for questions or concerns!

_________________________________________________________________________________

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KELSEY AND OUR DCE PROGRAM

The DCE fund was to be a three year fund which was to transition to the general budget at the end of three years. Unfortunately neither the DCE fund nor the general budget have kept pace with what is needed.

In November we will be at the end of the three years. The DCE Fund has dwindled down to near nothing and will be just about gone in December, and the regular offerings have not increased enough to increase the regular budget.

To make it clear, there is not enough money in the budget to pay Kelsey. (We cannot use special gifts, trusts or memorials or money designated for the building fund to pay Kelsey. We have never used those types off funds for salaries.)

So where does this money come from? IT COMES FROM THE MEMBERS OF ST.JOHN'S WHO GIVE THEIR OFFERINGS. It is up to you AS MEMBERS OF ST.JOHN'S to give as you are able IN YOUR WEEKLY OFFERINGS so that our budget can go up enough to be able to support her.

DEVOTION: Luke 13:22-30 (ESV)
"The Narrow Door"
²²He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. ²³And someone said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them, ²⁴"Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. ²⁵When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.' ²⁶Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' ²⁷But he will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!' ²⁸In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. ²⁹And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. ³⁰And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

There is only one way to enter and that is through the narrow door. That narrow door is Jesus. Do you think there is another way? Get over yourself! Do your "sensibilities" say that there is no absolute truth? Forget your sensibilities. Is it really sensible that what you think is more right than what Jesus says? Is it really sensible for you to take the word of someone who is only using their own human, fallible brain, over and above the words of the Bible which have been proven accurate, historical, and trustworthy over and over again?

Quit trying to make it your own religion. Christianity is not man's religion! We cannot change it, fix it, or manipulate it into what we want it to be. It is God's, and we can only submit to it. The words of Scripture are God's Words! If he says, "Strive to enter through the narrow door." We better do some striving to find the key for that door, and be striving to enter through it. Jesus is the key and He is the door! We strive to enter through Him simply by trusting in Him and believing in Him!

Do you want to be one of the ones who is standing outside the door and banging on it, screaming "Let me in" on the day of judgment? Do you want Jesus to say " I don't know where you come from."   Then trust in Jesus! Stop relying on what you think and start relying on what Jesus says and what He has done! Man up, swallow your pride, confess your sins, and ask God for true and real forgiveness.

Prayer: Lord, help me to get over myself and trust in your alone. Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ:

What did Ezekiel do to "enact" the coming exile to Babylon? (Hint: It's in Ezekiel 12:1-16)

⁷And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.

TODAY'S QUIZ: Who was king during Ezekiel's prophecy?

______________________________________________________________________________

NEWS!!!!

QUARTERLY VOTERS MEETING THIS SUNDAY AT 9:45!!

Agenda:

1. reports from staff, officers, boards and committees

2. report from Member awareness committee (Kevin Luebke, Steve McDowell, Sandy Robine)

They will tell us about upcoming things that they will be doing based upon what they talked about.

3. building planning committee master plan presentation

The long-awaited master plan was presented to the building planning committee last night. After some discussion it was approved unanimously by them. It will be presented to the voters assembly next Sunday for approval.

The master plan involves three "bite size" projects. The first of those projects( a new fellowship hall, expanded narthex, offices and kitchen) built on to the front of the church, is much more affordable and will be accomplished with the money that has already been collected over the past eight years. It is very important to understand that this is only a master plan. Square footage and other details will be determined by the building committee and finance committee based on what we can afford. Once all of those details get worked out and finalized those committees will again come back to the voters for approval.

Once the plan is approved, a building committee (different than the building planning committee) and a finance committee will be appointed by President McDowell. If you have experience on building committees or building finance committees, or have a desire for this project to finally come to fruition, we'd love it if you would volunteer to be on the committee that best fits your talents and abilities.

Please make every effort to attend and see the new master plan.

ON A SEPARATE BUT RELATED NOTE: To answer a question that has been asked several times, "Why we don't use the building money for something else like salaries and raises?" The short answer is that the money that has been amassed over the past eight years for the building fund cannot be used for anything else. It is literally against the law.

4. Council recommendation for Ken Wagner Funds ($39,813.56)

Here's how it works:
