Life Quote: “It is more significant that God walked on earth than that man walked on the moon . . . my own life is given purpose and perspective through God who walks on this earth in Jesus. In that sense we are a visited planet!” Astronaut James Irwin, lunar module pilot for Apollo 15, and one of the astronauts who walked on the moon.

Stewardship This Week: Philippians 2:5-11: The “riches” of this world can attract our attention away from true “riches in Christ.” Just as Jesus “emptied” Himself to become a Servant for the good of others, so we also strive to empty ourselves of that which hinders our spiritual lives and, instead, to manage our lives and resources to bring glory to God and blessings to others

Holy Land Tour Opportunity: Come and join me (a native of Israel) on a spiritual journey to the Holy land. Hear the good news, see the wonderful and glorious sights, smell the rich aroma, and get a taste of foreign delicacies. We will be departing from Minneapolis on October 2nd, 2007 for 11 days. If this is a trip you wanted to take, now is the time to take the adventure of a life time. You will come back refreshed, rejuvenated and rejoicing because you walked the walk of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The Bible will come alive and the names and places will jump at you whenever you read or hear them. The price for the 11 day trip including airfare, hotels and two meals a day is $2850.00 One of those nights you will be a guest at my parents home in Haifa. The only thing that you are responsible for is you noon meals and spending money. For further information contact: Pastor Nabil S. Nour Phil. 1:6 C/O Redeemer Lutheran Church PO Box 158 Armour,SD 57313-0158 (605) 724-2489 or (605) 724-2722.
