connecting individuals to Jesus
Our Primary Prayer focus for this week is on Christ’s people on earth:
For the Holy Spirit to be at work enriching faith through our Barnabas Ministry. Giving us hearts that are growing in the joy of giving generously to the mission of STL. For children to be raised in the nurture and encouragement of the Gospel. For new individuals to become members of the STL Prayer Chain.
What is there about grandchildren that brings such unbridled joy when they come to visit? My young granddaughter is full of so much energy, spunk, and definitive ideas, it is amazing to watch. I love spending time with her.

Dr. Rob Casper from the district office will be here to go over our survey information and answer any questions we might have. All are encouraged to attend.
For many people it is GRATITUDE to God as he provides for their every need. Some people are motivated by their COMMITMENT to the mission and ministry of STL – they see what God is doing here and wish to do all they can to support it.
This fall’s Detroit Lutheran Singers concert, “All Nature Sings” celebrates God’s hand in all of nature.

You may even decide raking leaves is a thing of beauty.
