This Sunday, we hear Jesus beautiful promise, “I am the bread of life!” In a hungering world, we give thanks for the nourishment of God’s grace, forgiveness, and love that Jesus brought for all humanity. Our souls and lives are filled to overflowing each Sunday when we are fed with Christ’s own body & blood – given and shed FOR YOU! May the hope of Jesus, God’s bread of life, sustain you every day. Come celebrate God’s hope this Sunday in whatever format works best for you – and invite someone to join you!
At LS, we continue our Summer Hope focus, with special 5-minute pre-worship Prayer Times to be still & know that God is God, amidst all life’s storms. At 8:10 & 10:25, it is also possible to have the pastor come offer special prayer with you in the pews, should there be a particular burden on your heart. At 8:15, worship is in the sanctuary. At 10:30, worship how you choose – in the sanctuary, from the parking lot, on the lawn, or online. For those who are out-of-town or vacationing, continue to spread the word about our 10:30 livestream on Facebook & YouTube!
Our youth were so amazing at our Lutheran Graceworks servant week – passing out water on downtown streets, ministering with the homeless, painting & cleaning at various servant agencies, sorting clothing for children, delivering care baskets to first responders, distributing meals on wheels, writing cards & letters for isolated seniors and veterans, caring for each other & wearing masks throughout it all, worshipping God and spending time in prayer every day. They were simply awesome! This weekend, another group of 15 departed for our end-of-summer Youth Retreat at Lutherock. Please keep them in your prayers for a safe and meaningful experience as they prepare to be brightly shining beacons of hope for the school year ahead….
