Good morning! We appreciate your joining our worship family, and we invite you to sign our guest book. If you are looking for an altar at which to commune, please speak to the pastor beforehand. He will be happy to provide you with the information you would want and need. Sunday family worship: 8:00 and 10:45 A.M. Choir: 9:10. Sunday school: 9:30. Bible class: 9:45 A.M. Today's Worship Today's Worship Today's Worship Today's Worship “Stand firm in the faith….be strong” (1 Cor. 16:13). Greeting and prayer: Invocation: P: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. P: Praise the Lord! C: Praise the Lord, O my soul! P: I will praise the Lord as long as I live; C: I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Benediction P: The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. C: Amen. Hymn 644 (red hymnal): Praise God, From W hom All Blessings Flow Announcements Sunday school begins today For the next few weeks the children will be studying the true-life story of Joseph. It begins today with the account of Joseph and his brothers. Though the brothers didn’t know it, God would use their treachery to bring about His plan to deliver His people and ultimately to deliver us from sin and death through Jesus. A family discussion today might include: “How can hatred and unkind thoughts lead to hateful words and actions?” On the cross Jesus saved us from the hurt and harm of our own sins and the sins of others. Our teachers this year are: Pre-K and Kindergarten: Lydia Albrecht and Rebekah Busse. Grades 1-2: Sue Eichstadt and Emma Mueller. Grades 3-5: Nathan Rodebaugh. Grades 6-8: James Arndt. How can they teach that? The Bible tells us that God created the universe out of nothing by the power of His Word in six ordinary days. “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” (Jn. 1:3). How then can some churches which claim to follow the Bible teach evolution? Wednesday’s Bible class will take up the question. Immanuel chapel podcasts available Morning chapels from Immanuel Lutheran College can now be listened to via podcast. They are available through iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Search for "Morning Chapels from ILC" and subscribe to get daily comfort from God's Word delivered straight to your phone. Need more offering envelopes? Please place a note in the Mackensen mailbox, not in an offering envelope or the offering plate.
