“How earnestly God commanded us to teach our children."
~Psalm 78:5-6
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, 1546
We gather in the church Fellowship Hall TV Lounge from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Thursdays. Our procedure is to watch a half-hour video lecture with ensuing discussion. Dr. Mark Berkson of Hamline University (Methodist, St. Paul, MN) provides expert lectures and a study guide concerning “Death, Dying and the Afterlife: Lessons from World Cultures”. What might seem to be a grim topic is treated with appropriate gentle humor and wisdom. The first eight lectures assess key definitions, concepts and values while covering topics ranging from “Death’s Place in Our Lives” to “American Death Rituals.” The next 12 lectures range worldwide from Christianity to Judaism, Islam and other world religions and related cultures. It is an exciting topic dealing with a fundamental reality of life we try to ignore. Join us! Contact Phil Jordan with questions.
Resumes September 10th!
The Luther Forum, an adult faith formation group, meets at 8:45 am in the Lutheran Campus Center. The Forum is intended to be a place where adults grow in knowledge and reflect on their own faith journeys. The group uses a common reading as the jumping off point for discussion. The fall focus of the Forum will be Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith, by Kathleen Norris. Norris is a poet, essayist, and memorist who writes eloquently of her faith journey. She invites her readers to engage with her in reimagining what familiar theological words might mean in a new day. The forum is open to all and persons may also participate via Zoom. Participants are responsible for obtaining the book, but if doing so presents a hardship please contact Bill King at luthercm@gmail.com. You may also contact him if you have any questions or would like to receive a Zoom invitation.
The Men's Bible Study meets on Thursday mornings at 8 am to study the Gospel reading designated by the Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday. Please contact Bill King or Mark Pierson if you have any questions.
Year 1 & 2 confirmands will meet on the third Sunday of every month at 4 pm in the LMLC Fellowship Hall (please check the calendar for dates). We’re excited that we have 12 students this Fall, from LMLC, St. Michael, Our Saviour and the Peace & Hope faith communities. Please bring your CoLabOrate workbooks and student Bibles to class. An info email with the class schedule (also available on the LMLC calendar), covenant and other items was emailed to parents in mid-July. Each month the class meets for a lesson from 4-5pm; dinner 5-5:30pm; and a second lesson from 5:30-6:30pm. For more info, please email Pastor Monica.
Our Confirmands continue to earn Service Hours by serving as Acolytes and
Communion Assistants, helping to fold worship bulletins, and other tasks. Confirmands, don’t forget to track your hours using the form in your notebook. Please contact Pastor Monica for more information.
Parents are encouraged to grab an Activity Bag for their young children. Activity Bags are filled with coloring sheets and crayons for use during worship. If you need to comfort your child, we provide a quiet room off the Sanctuary where you may listen to worship.
During Sunday worship, Pastor Monica
invites children to participate from time to time in a Children’s Sermon.
