    WELCOME! We are glad you are worshiping with us today! It is our desire to have a welcoming and safe worship
    atmosphere. Please silence your cell phone.

    STEPHEN MINISTRY - Every day you see people who are hurting - those who have lost a job, lost a loved one,
    going through divorce...Stephen Ministers are God’s Ministry and can help you through a difficult time. Contact Jim
    Fehringer if you or someone you know could be helped by this ministry.

    HOLY COMMUNION is celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month in the confidence of receiving from the
    Lord of the Church all He promises when he gives His body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine for the
    forgiveness of sins. If you commune with us, we ask that you be in confessional agreement with the Lutheran
    Church - Missouri Synod and that the following be your belief:
·         I believe that I am a sinful human being without hope of eternal life except for God’s mercy in Christ.
·         I believe that Jesus is God’s Son, my personal Savior and together with the bread and wine I receive the true
          Body and Blood of Christ.
·         I dedicate myself anew to the Lord through regular worship, the study of His Word, faithful witness, fervent
          prayer and loving service.
    [Non-alcoholic drink is offered in the middle section of each tray. Notify the pastor l if you desire a gluten-free
    communion wafer.

    HEARING DEVICES - available on west wall next to the steps to the balcony.
    NURSERY - lower level of the north church basement.

SERMON

NICENE CREED ……………….. LSB #158

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and
invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the
Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for
us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day he rose again according to the
Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And he will come again
with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And
I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of
sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the
secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want:
(Philippians 4:12). Paul learned that contentment comes only from relying on God, trusting that His strength will be
sufficient for all things. Knowing that God loves us and will provide, gives us confidence to depend on Him. In
contrast, a worldly focus leads us to place our hope on earthly things that ultimately provide no lasting happiness or
future.
