Detoured, But Not Derailed

The context keeps changing. Our calling has not.

George Floyd - Riots - God's Word With our worship service mailed out by Wednesday morning, my Monday and Tuesday are sometimes a race to complete a message, liturgy and cover letter (alongside other needs). I've felt the need to speak into our cultural experience as well. In the end, rather than putting together something hastily or waiting one more day, I want to share this statement from our LCMS President, Rev. Matthew Harrison. As God's people we pray together for justice and healing in our world. Statement from President Harrison here for you, Matt Behrens, Pastor   ...whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8) Introducing K.A.M.P. Calvary! We're doing something new in children's ministry this summer. Check out the flyer we sent home with students from Lea's Christian School for information on K.A.M.P. Calvary. Who will you invite to become a KAMPer?   K.A.M.P. Calvary flyer Another Thank You! Melva Bland, principal at Lea's Christian School, sent a note to the church office last week. The card she sent is hanging in the office hallway. Here is some of what she wrote: "I thank God for you daily. Blessings flow from you in ways unseen. I am blessed as the administrator of Lea's and with being at the helm, I have experienced your thoughtfulness in so many ways. Thank you for thinking of me during Teacher's Appreciation."
