About the Cover: Our life as the children of God is a pure and beautiful gift. Christ has loved us by dying on the cross for our sins, putting our interests above His own. Because of Christ, we also are free to put the interests of others before our own. In turn, the Lord has placed the beautiful gifts of love and service into our hands so we can share them with our neighbors. © 2023 CPH Cover Image: © Shutterstock

WELCOME VISITORS - We are honored to have you worship with us today! Please wear a mask if you wish. RESTROOMS are off the lounge to the right (south side) of the main entrance. When leaving the pews, they will be on your left. The tower stairs (to your right while leaving the pews) lead down to the basement where there are another pair of restrooms. Feel free to use the LOUNGE if you or your children need a break. Since the Sacrament of Communion is administered to those instructed and examined in the Faith as Confessional Lutherans understand it, you will receive a verbal blessing unless you speak with Pastor beforehand.
Families with young children are always welcome to worship with us. Feel free to take a quiet bag with coloring pages and crayons to your seat, found hanging in the coat closet.
Choir – Meets immediately after worship today for rehearsal. ALL voices are needed. When you show up, you will NEVER be asked to sing alone. You can just show up and watch. Please contact Wally Winters at (313) 318-6514 if you have any questions.
Adult Information Class meets Thursday, 7pm to 8:30p to acquaint students with Luther’s catechism and an overall outline of Christian teaching. They will enable one to affirm the Lutheran understanding of the faith and receive the sacraments as a church member. Call Pastor Zeile for info, questions, etc. (313-802-1146)
Bible Study meets at 10:30am in the basement – please join us following worship! This week, Pastor Zeile leads us in Romans 9. Coffee and a light continental style breakfast will be served.

Stewardship Thought Luke 14:11 – “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” The kingdom of God is always upside down and backwards like this. We must die in order to live. We must be humbled so we can be exalted. It’s like this with giving as well. When we give away, then we receive much more than we bargained for: peace of mind, contentment, joy.
