The Divine Service for November 20, 2022. We are mid-way through a Stewardship Series entitled “Money Matters” that dives into how Christians respond to our Lord’s earthly blessings.

“Hey, Big Spender!” – 2 Corinthians 9:1-7

When it comes to money, what kind of spender are you? Impulsive? Stingy? Generous? When it comes to what our Lord has given to and for us, His Word shows us that He is generous and wants us to be the same. We can be when we are equipped by the generosity of Christ through the Gospel!

The Divine Service for the Last Sunday of the Church Year (Nov 21, 2021). This Sunday is also the final Sunday in the stewardship series of “Growing as Stewards in Faith, Love, and Hope.” Equipped with the Word and promises of God, we are prepared for our Lord’s return. But while we wait, we make the best use of our time, talent, and treasure so that others are also equipped with faith, love, and hope in Christ Jesus.

Nov 14 – 25th Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost (Nov 14, 2021). We are in the second week of the three-week Stewardship series of “Growing in Faith, Love, and Hope.” The theme for this week is the second item of love. When God pours His love into our hearts, our faith and love grow and prompts us to serve our neighbor with God’s love and care and mercy. We do this because Jesus was prompted by love into action to save us from sin and selfishness to live a fuller, better life in Him!

Nov 7 – All Saints’ Day (Observed)

The Divine Service for the Feast of All Saints’ Day. We observe this special holy day that is assigned to the Church’s calendar for November 1 where we remember those who by faith knew the Lord and honored Him with their lives. No one is perfect, of course. Those we remember in the service (those members who died in the past year) would be the first to admit that. But when we remember those that ran the race of faith, we can remember their example and strive to follow in their footsteps that we, too, might finish the race and receive the crown of righteousness that Jesus has already won for us on the cross.
