| Worship with us, September 21, 9:30am. Join us in person or on our YouTube channel. Pastor Kathleen will preach on Luke 16:1-13 Upcoming Worship Helpers September 21, 9:30 am Greeters/ Ushers: Liz Hansen and Barb Kellogg Reader: Debi Martens Sound/ Screen/ Streaming: Wayne Martens Musician: Georgine Bellamy Counters: Lisa Vossekuil and Kim Patience Communion Server: Tim & Jacque Mohs Communion Bread: Debi Martens Acolytes/ Crucifer: Devotions from God Pause: Jesus uses the example of the family in this passage because he knows that although the family can be the source of life’s richest joys, it can also be the place we feel we are “being put to death” by conflicts, brokenness, and losses. Jesus knows that we can easily fall into the temptation of trying to make our life with our friends and our church an island of security and peace. Often, we prefer to be shielded from horrible stuff happening in the world. Jesus wants us to be aware there is only one Savior. Instead of simply hearing Jesus today say, “Give up all your possessions,” perhaps it would be insightful to also hear, “Give up ON all your possessions.” They will never save you. They will never bring you lasting joy and fulfillment.. Join us for Meeting on Monday!  The coffee pot will be on. Tea bags and hot chocolate packets also available. No strings attached – just a chance to visit with others in the comfort of the high school and junior high rooms at St. Paul’s. at 9:00 am on Monday mornings.
