Life Quote: “Many see the pregnant teen as ‘promiscuous’ or as an abortion client. We see a child who needs to be cherished and supported with advice and direction.” A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE

Stewardship in Romans 8:12-17: Because of Christ we are children of God and heirs of salvation. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live as children of God and to demonstrate this in our handling of all that God has entrusted to us—such things as life, time, talents and financial resources. As God’s children we strive to use all of life and life’s resources for His purposes.

The Church Council will meet on July 23 at 7:30pm. Voters meeting will be the following Sunday July 27 following worship.
