NATIONAL LUTHERANS SCHOOLS WEEK 2019! “Running the Race, Eyes Fixed on Jesus” This week is about celebrating Lutheran Schools throughout the world-including our own, Martin Luther School!!! Tasty Fundraiser Alert!!! You’ll want to mark Wednesday, January 30th to plan to eat at Buffalo Wings and Rings! 20% of the purchases go to Martin Luther School, so come hungry.
AT SHEPHERD OF THE VALLEY LUTHERAN CHURCH we celebrate the Lord’s Supper in the confidence that we receive, along with the bread and wine, our Savior’s true body and blood “through and in which we obtain the forgiveness of sins.” Besides individually receiving Christ’s free gift of forgiveness in this sacrament, all those who commune make a confession of the faith that we believe and teach in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. To commune at this altar is to accept the doctrinal position of this congregation. Because of that common confession, we invite those who are members at sister Missouri Synod Churches to join us at the Lord’s Table. If you would like more information on our understanding of the Lord’s Supper, please visit with Pastor Wolfgram.
WE ARE SUPPORTING “CHRIST’S CARE FOR CHILDREN” in Kenya during the first quarter of 2019. Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya is a child sponsorship program, initiated by the LCMS Office of International Mission. It is directly linked to the Project 24 sites in Kenya. It is through care and compassion for these children that they receive safe housing, food, education and spiritual care. Each site is strategically located near an Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya church and school so that the children can receive academic as well as spiritual teaching and care. Micheal Henke will present information about Christ’s Care For Children – Kenya during the Education Hour on Sunday February 3.
PLEASE JOIN BISMARCK/MANDAN RIGHT TO LIFE at our annual March for Life on the capitol steps this coming Sunday, Jan 27, at 2 PM. Come pray with us to end abortion. A reception will follow at the ND Heritage Center. Thank you!
