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

Annual Blessing of the Backpacks this Sunday


School is starting! School is starting! For some of our students, classes began yesterday. Others hit classrooms this coming Monday. Please remember to hold all learners and educators in prayer this week and next!
This Sunday, August 29th, we'll have our annual Blessing of the Backpacks during worship at 9:30am. All students, teachers, professors, etc., are encouraged to bring their school bags with them to worship for the blessing.
A Prayer for Schools
Eternal God, bless all schools, colleges and universities, that they may be lively places for sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom; and grant that those who teach and those who learn may find you to be the source of all truth; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen
-ELW, p. 78
