Regarding participation in the Blessed Sacrament of Christ’s True Body and Blood: Because oneness at the altar presupposes oneness in faith and doctrine, we expect that all who commune at the Lord’s altar are members in good standing of an LCMS congregation. We ask that all who commune register on a communion card. All visitors should state their home LCMS congregation. First time visitors please speak to Pastor Dreyer. Individual cups for those desiring them are available as you approach the altar.

readings for today    Genesis 50:15-21, Romans 12:14-21 and Luke 6:36-42

today’s topic  Last week we heard about human dignity and what we value in our interaction with others as a Christian. “Judge not and ye shall not be judged” is what we hear today from Luke. Are we not to make judgments in life? What would life be like if we didn't make any judgments? What is the Bible really saying when it says that we are not to make any judgments? When one speaks of judgments we are also speaking about justice. What is the sort of justice do we see in the world today or what kind of justice does God have for us? Are we to forgive all people? Should we no longer believe in prisons and forgive everyone for their crimes as a Christian?

In our prayers  Brooke Conrad (surgery), Fred Berning (New Haven Care and Rehabilitation), Tari Emenhiser, Eileen Zwick, Bob Peters, Herb Mailand (Woodcrest), Gert Deister (Woodview), Xavior Palacios, Marie Hobrock, Sherrill Peters (sister-in-law of Bob and Jeanette Peters) and Betty Schroeder (sister-in-law of Jean Uffelman and Jeanette Peters.
