On this 17th Sunday after Pentecost we started our service with the Bible readings. They are as follows: Amos 8:4-7 Psalm 113 and the New Testament 1 Timothy 2: 1-7.
Our lector was Hulda Tipton.
Pastor Wayne Strohschein’s sermon was on the Gospel Luke 16:1–13 and Amos 8:4-7,
“How do we put our Sunday world with our Monday world?” Sunday world should flow into Monday world. Paul speaks of our prayers for all to enjoy better lives by faith and thanksgiving. As you read Amos you look at today’s world and see all the greed and power from politicians and others and it’s much like it was in the Amos’ time. All the more reason for us to bring Sunday’s world into Monday’s world.
In this season of Pentecost, God has come near to us and we have to make choices. And we must listen
to God when he speaks to us.
We had our parish meeting after church service, to vote on the question to leave or stay with the ELCA and the vote was unanimous to leave the ELCA, and we also voted to go with the North American Lutheran Church which was also unanimous. There was a representative from the Missouri Synod visiting our church and was there to oversee the voting on these two questions as this was written in the constitution.
There was a potluck luncheon after the service today and it was delicious as always.
Monday at 5 p.m. the Sunshine Singers will meet at the church.
