A calendar has been placed in the entryway of the church
to reserve a date to place flowers on the altar. If you
would like to donate toward flowers, the Ladies’ Aid
Altar Committee will purchase the flowers and place them
on the altar for you. Only live flowers are placed on
the altar. (Flowers will not be placed on the altar
during the seasons of Advent and Lent). If you have
questions please contact LaVonne Nitzel, JoAnn Renner or
Diane Kahle.

From Pastor Toensing
My
bible reading recently has taken me through the book of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah was a prophet sent by the Lord to proclaim God’s Word. His
ministry covered the beginning portions of the Exile when some of
the people had been taken captive to Babylon. In chapter 29 we find
Jeremiah writing a letter to the exiles. It is included in the
writings that record his works. And, in the name of the Lord,
Jeremiah gives them this advice in Jeremiah 29:7: “But seek the
welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to
the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your
welfare.”
Even though they were in exile, captive, away from home, lost, etc., still, the Lord, full of mercy, sought their wellbeing. The Lord still wanted them to prosper and do well. The Lord still wanted them to receive His blessings— even while captive in a foreign land. (continued..)
