Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Thanks!!

The Rummage Sale last weekend was a great success!
Many thanks to all the "stuff" donors, the crew that sorted and priced everything, the sale volunteers and especially the SHOPPERS!
Over $1500 was raised to support the Family & Youth Ministries of the congregation. Woot!

AND - we provided a great service to a handful of families in the valley. At 11:00am everything was half price, and at 11:30am everything was "by donation" - meaning that the stuff was free, but donations would gladly be accepted. There were a couple of families who needed a lot, but could give only a little. What a blessing to be able to bless them!

Thanks again!
