On July 6, 2024, we will have a Lutheran Men Monthly breakfast. Breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m. We will have a hot breakfast, devotion, and a Bible study. Please come and feel
free to invite a friend or neighbor.
We will be hosting a distribution for Shepherd’s Heart ministry on July 8th from 8-10 a.m. Please plan to help if you can. We will get started about 7:30 a.m.
Our kids and a few of our members will be off to church camp at
Camp Eagle at Rock Springs from July 15-20. Please keep all who
are going to camp in your prayers for a safe and fun time.
Join us on Sunday evening July 28th at 5:00 p.m. for an indoor picnic. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided so please bring a salad or dessert. We will eat at 5:30 and after the meal we will play some games like dominos or Scrabble or the like. Please join in this evening of fun and escape the heat. We hope to see you there!
In August, we will be hosting the teachers and staff from Thrall ISD. Please watch for sign-up sheets for salads, desserts and other food items. We will also be getting a list of items that we could bless the teachers. These lists will be available and would appreciate your help in buying items for our teachers. Watch the bulletin and emails for more details.
As we seek to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus, do we share Jesus with those who may not look like us or act like us? Our world needs Jesus. As the beautiful song says, “Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world!” Jesus loves all people, and He sends us to help this world know His love and forgiveness.
I came across this prayer that said, “Heavenly Father, Help me remember that the jerk who cut me off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and was rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children. Bring to my mind often that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly at McDonalds is a worried 19- year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over finalexams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester. Remind me, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that I can only imagine in my worst nightmare. Cause me to reflect that the old couple, walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together. Heavenly Father, remind me each day that, of all the gifts you give me, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those I hold dear. Open my heart not just to those who are close to me, but to all humanity. Let me be slow in judgment and quick with forgiveness and patience and empathy and love. Amen.”
Can you relate to this prayer? Have you ever had those same thoughts? Sometimes we see people in our community and in our world who maybe are not like us, but our Savior wants us to reach them and teach the unconditional love and forgiveness of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our world needs Jesus and God isusing and blessing us to share Christ to this community and to our world. Yes, we can and we should share Jesus through our words and actions and also through prayer.
Remember those words of Jesus to Zacchaeus, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10 NIV) We witness in thanksgiving to Jesus for what He has done for us and His love for us. May God bless us to witness and to share Jesus with our friends and those we are comfortable with, and also with others!
In Christ,
Pastor Jeffrey D. Geske
