Of all the gifts for which we thank God, above all is the
gift of Himself to us, His erring but redeemed children! “Whom have I in
Heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25).
Our purpose is to reach out to families and individuals of all
backgrounds and bring
them into healing and transforming relationships with the Lord Jesus and with others in His Church
through the sharing of God’s Word and Sacraments.

of pastoral care, please notify Maria in the church office. If it is an emergency, please call my mobile
phone (in printed copy of chimes).
Please don’t hesitate to call me at any hour if it is important; I keep
the phone with me at all times. If the
matter is important enough to think about calling a pastor, by all means call
me. Please do not think you will
disturb me or I will think the matter unimportant. Thanks!”

STEWARDSHIP CORNER. John K. Galbraith wrote, “Money ranks with love as man’s
greatest joy. And it ranks with death as
his greatest source of anxiety.” Money
has the potential to control our thoughts and our decision- making
process. The apostle Paul expressed some
keen insight when he wrote, “The love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy
