WELCOME to everyone, especially our guests.<br />

Your presence is important to us.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Paul’s is an evangelical Christian<br />

congregation, embracing historic Christian<br />

teaching on all doctrines, centered on Jesus<br />

Christ. Our desire is to bring the Gospel both<br />

to those who are searching for answers to the<br />

meaning of life <strong>and</strong> to those who desire a<br />

closer relationship with God. We here at <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Paul's</strong> have chosen to align ourselves with the<br />

teachings of the Lutheran Reformation, due<br />

to the clarity with which these help us to see<br />

the true meaning of God's Word.<br />

Specifically, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Paul's</strong> is a ministry of the<br />

Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod, one of<br />

America's truly biblical churches!<br />

• Members <strong>and</strong> guests: please fill out an<br />

attendance card <strong>and</strong> place it in the<br />

offering plate to indicate your presence<br />

today. For Holy Communion, please read<br />

our confession <strong>and</strong> indicate your<br />

agreement with our beliefs by checking<br />

the box next to the names of those<br />

communing.<br />

• Those sharing our beliefs, especially from<br />

parishes in fellowship with us, are<br />

welcome to receive.<br />

• If you desire Holy Communion but hold a<br />

confession differing from that of this<br />

congregation, please speak with a Pastor<br />

or an Elder.<br />

• Non-communing, baptized children are<br />

welcome to come to the table for a<br />

blessing.<br />

Please note: Half the inner circle of individual<br />

glasses in each tray contains water with one<br />

drop of communion wine for those hesitant to<br />

drink larger amounts of wine. Those glasses<br />

with wine are rose in color.<br />

As Pastor O'Donnell continues his deliberations for accepting his Divine Call from <strong>St</strong>. Paul’s, at his<br />

request, the Board of Elders would like to schedule an informal ‘meet <strong>and</strong> greet" with him, his<br />

family <strong>and</strong> the congregation on Sunday, August 12, at 3:00 pm, at Roosevelt Park during<br />

God has given us.<br />

Children’s Nutrition <strong>and</strong> Care-Vietnam<br />

$72,255<br />

Less than 10% of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is Christian <strong>and</strong> the government is<br />

traditionally closed to outside religious organizations. LCMS World <strong>Mission</strong> personnel<br />

have been in Vietnam since 1995 <strong>and</strong> work jointly with the Vietnamese National Institute<br />

of Nutrition <strong>and</strong> also teach management, farming, fishing, food preparation <strong>and</strong><br />

food storage skills. Because of their valued history in education they are also reaching<br />

out to the people through education ministries at the new international school. The staff<br />

has been able to develop relationships with teachers <strong>and</strong> children <strong>and</strong> through this grant<br />

share the love of Jesus with humanitarian care <strong>and</strong> education projects.<br />

STEPHEN MINISTRY - CAN YOU HEAR JESUS’ WORDS OF COMFORT?<br />

In Mathew 11:28-30, Jesus tells his followers, “Come to me, all you who are weary <strong>and</strong> burdened,<br />

<strong>and</strong> I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you <strong>and</strong> learn from me, for I am gentle <strong>and</strong><br />

humble in heart, <strong>and</strong> you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy <strong>and</strong> my burden is<br />

light.”<br />

• Do you feel weary?<br />

• Does the yoke of life seem too difficult for you to carry alone?<br />

• Are your burdens too much to bear?<br />

God has called some people within our midst to <strong>St</strong>ephen Ministry. These people are trained <strong>and</strong><br />

supported in walking with others through difficult times in their lives.<br />

Could you benefit from the care of a <strong>St</strong>ephen Minister?<br />

November 7 th & 14 th<br />

Every Christian can benefit from continued study in God’s Word. Time to Grow is our offering of<br />

classes on Wednesday nights for the whole family. Through Bible study, the Holy Spirit works to<br />

build up our faith as we continue to grow <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> God’s Holy Word. We have a meal<br />

available in the fellowship hall starting at 5:00 pm <strong>and</strong> it’s served until 6:00 pm. The cost is adults<br />

$4.00, 5-12 is $3.00 <strong>and</strong> 4 <strong>and</strong> under are free. At 6:00 pm we gather in the church for a time of<br />

devotion <strong>and</strong> singing before we are dismissed to our classes at 6:20 pm. The children then go to<br />

their own age-appropriate classrooms to study the Bible through story, crafts, games <strong>and</strong> music.<br />

The adults have a variety of classes they can choose from at the same time. Our evening ends at<br />

7:20 pm. There is a nursery available for children under 3.<br />

SIGN-UP SHEET CAN BE FOUND ON THE INSERT PAGE IN THE BULLETIN.<br />

The Armor of God<br />

Led by Sarah Esveldt ~ Teachers’ Lounge [Room #214]<br />

Did you know that you are in a battle right now while you are reading these words? It may not<br />

seem that way, but God tells us we wrestle not against flesh <strong>and</strong> blood, but against spiritual forces<br />

in our lives every day. We are in a war with Satan <strong>and</strong> his army, but God does not send us out<br />

without armor. We are more than equipped to h<strong>and</strong>le the enemy. Based on the words of<br />

Ephesians 6:10-20, this study will help you underst<strong>and</strong> the different parts of your armor <strong>and</strong> how<br />

they play a role in the battle against Satan.<br />

New Member Class<br />

Led by <strong>St</strong>eve Scharnell ~ Room #206<br />

This class is for those who are interested in becoming a member of <strong>St</strong>. Paul’s... OR those looking for<br />

a refresher course on Lutheran Doctrine.<br />

Apologetics<br />

Led by Mark Newman (religion teacher at LCLHS) ~ Room #205<br />

1 Peter 3:15 - "Always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you."<br />

Some topics we will dissect this fall:<br />

What is Truth? Does God exist? What about evolution? What about other worldviews? If God<br />

exists, why is there evil? Can the Bible really be trusted? Is Jesus really God? Did Jesus really rise<br />

from the dead?<br />

(continued)


A Series of Firsts: A <strong>St</strong>udy of Genesis 1-11<br />

Led by Pastor Paul Borgman ~ Room #204<br />

Genesis 1-11 is controversial in many ways. It is "a series of firsts": the first people, the first sin,<br />

the first murder, the first flood. In these chapters, God will set the stage for the drama we call<br />

history. It helps us to underst<strong>and</strong> who we are, why we are here, <strong>and</strong> where we are going. Think<br />

about it: that's a mighty big order!<br />

Gifts of the Spirit<br />

Led by Pastor <strong>St</strong>eve <strong>and</strong> Cathie Geske ~ Room #201<br />

What is a spiritual gift? How can I know for sure which of these gifts God has entrusted to me to<br />

use? I know I have a certain gift, but how can it be used in God's kingdom? Have any of these<br />

questions ever crossed your mind? If so, you may be interested in our class on spiritual gifts. We<br />

will traverse through the scriptures <strong>and</strong> look at the gifts God gives his people <strong>and</strong> how these gifts<br />

can be used in His church. Some of the gifts we will discuss: administration, evangelism,<br />

intercessory prayer, miracles, teaching, prophecy, tongues, wisdom <strong>and</strong> more. Come <strong>and</strong> learn<br />

what great gifts God has given you <strong>and</strong> how you can use them to His Glory!<br />

United In Christ Program<br />

Led by Wendy Petersen ~ Room #219<br />

Who’s invited?<br />

All families with kindergarten students<br />

(Your children do not have to go to <strong>St</strong>. Paul’s School in order to participate.)<br />

Why come?<br />

Adult time!<br />

Enjoy a nice homemade dinner with your family with no preparation & clean-up hassle.<br />

Have fun getting to know other families at <strong>St</strong> Paul’s with kids the same age as your own.<br />

What will we do?<br />

5:00 Dinner <strong>and</strong> activity in Room 219 for families. This program runs in conjunction with Time<br />

To Grow. The meal will be provided by members of the church. The cost is $4 per adult <strong>and</strong><br />

$3 per child. Children 4 <strong>and</strong> under are free.<br />

6:00 Opening in the church with all the other families<br />

6:20 Kids go to their perspective classes or the nursery for a structured adult-led Bible class.<br />

Adults go back to Room 219 <strong>and</strong> talk about topics suggested by group members . There<br />

will be a facilitator, but not a leader. So, come with topics you’d like to discuss:)<br />

Hope to see you on September 5 th !<br />

11 th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST<br />

1 Kings 19:1-8<br />

Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done<br />

<strong>and</strong> how he had killed all the prophets with the<br />

sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say,<br />

"May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely,<br />

if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like<br />

that of one of them." Elijah was afraid <strong>and</strong> ran for<br />

his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he<br />

left his servant there, while he himself went a day's<br />

journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree,<br />

sat down under it <strong>and</strong> prayed that he might die. "I<br />

have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life; I<br />

am no better than my ancestors." Then he lay down<br />

under the tree <strong>and</strong> fell asleep. All at once an angel<br />

touched him <strong>and</strong> said, "Get up <strong>and</strong> eat." He looked<br />

around, <strong>and</strong> there by his head was a cake of bread<br />

baked over hot coals, <strong>and</strong> a jar of water. He ate <strong>and</strong><br />

drank <strong>and</strong> then lay down again. The angel of the<br />

LORD came back a second time <strong>and</strong> touched him<br />

<strong>and</strong> said, "Get up <strong>and</strong> eat, for the journey is too<br />

much for you." So he got up <strong>and</strong> ate <strong>and</strong> drank.<br />

<strong>St</strong>rengthened by that food, he traveled forty days<br />

<strong>and</strong> forty nights until he reached Horeb, the<br />

mountain of God.<br />

Ephesians 4:32-5:2<br />

Be kind <strong>and</strong> compassionate to one another,<br />

forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave<br />

you. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved<br />

children <strong>and</strong> live a life of love, just as Christ loved us<br />

<strong>and</strong> gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering <strong>and</strong><br />

sacrifice to God.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. John 6:35-51<br />

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who<br />

comes to me will never go hungry, <strong>and</strong> he who<br />

believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told<br />

you, you have seen me <strong>and</strong> still you do not believe.<br />

All that the Father gives me will come to me, <strong>and</strong><br />

whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I<br />

have come down from heaven not to do my will but<br />

to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the<br />

will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all<br />

that he has given me, but raise them up at the last<br />

day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks<br />

to the Son <strong>and</strong> believes in him shall have eternal<br />

life, <strong>and</strong> I will raise him up at the last day." At this<br />

the Jews began to grumble about him because he<br />

said, "I am the bread that came down from<br />

heaven." They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of<br />

Joseph, whose father <strong>and</strong> mother we know? How<br />

can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"<br />

"<strong>St</strong>op grumbling among yourselves," Jesus<br />

answered. "No one can come to me unless the<br />

Father who sent me draws him, <strong>and</strong> I will raise him<br />

up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets:<br />

'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who<br />

listens to the Father <strong>and</strong> learns from him comes to<br />

me. No one has seen the Father except the one<br />

who is from God; only he has seen the Father. I tell<br />

you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I<br />

am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the<br />

manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the<br />

bread that comes down from heaven, which a man<br />

may eat <strong>and</strong> not die. I am the living bread that<br />

came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this<br />

bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh,<br />

which I will give for the life of the world."<br />
