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 Brock or Pastor Dreyer. Individual cups are available as you approach the altar for those desiring them.

 

In our prayers      Kathy Palacios, Kathy Hormann, Ann McDougal, Connie Embler, Les Zelt, Ruth Linnemeier,  Evelyn Oetting, Louise Dreyer, Jim Dreyer, Ivan Lepper, Marie Bradtmueller, Carol Gresley and Betty Schroeder.  

Shut-ins:    Evelyn Aumann, Tom Aumann, Fred Berning, Jean Bultemeier, Geraldine Buuck, Donna Conrad, Daniel Everett, Marie Hobrock, Deanie Holle,  Margaret Scherer, Velma Zelt

THE FIRST READING  +   GENESIS 18:1-14

THE EPISTLE  +   Colossians 1:21-29

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.  For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

THE HOLY GOSPEL  +    LUKE 10:38-42 

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."

 

Bulletin Cover Art:

The artwork adorning your bulletin cover this morning, inspired by today's Gospel reading from Luke 10:38-42, was crafted by Ben Schueler,  4 years-old, during St. John's 2010 Vacation Bible School.  Throughout the rest of this church year, the creative gifts of our Lord's young Christians will bless our worship through these Scripturally-based illustrations, reminding us all of Jesus' words in Mark 10:14-15: "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.  Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."  We give thanks and praise to God in Christ for enriching our worship life through His servant, Ben.
