Stewardship Today: 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 13:13: This great “love passage” of the Bible explains how we show our love in our daily lives. Exercising love in all its forms is at the heart of our Christian stewardship.

Life Quote: “I have learned to be uneasy when I hear about ‘quality of life’ and ‘living on in the bodies of others.’ My wife and I are learning, too, that our commitment to the sanctity of life means a commitment to all of the seasons of life, from the unborn child to the aged . . . because life is a gift from our Creator God that only He has the right to terminate.” Rev. Robert L. Lee, President of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE

The churches subscription to the The Lutheran Witness is up for renewal.

If you would like to reimburse the church for your copy, place a check in the collection plate labeled “Lutheran Witness.” By the Way: Portals of Prayer subscription is $87 per quarter for 120 copies (70¢ each).
