Weekend Update

Dear Church Family,

  As we prepare to share in the Lord's Supper together tomorrow morning, I am reflecting upon how great a Savior is ours! 

Romans 3:22-26
"We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter 
who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us 
right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented 
Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his
blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 
for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his
 righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus."

Hallelujah!

This week we celebrated Reggie Thomas and his years of service as an LCA treasurer. 
Reggie remains a highly valued member of our LCA team. Thank you, Reggie!
On a personal note, we had a family goal this weekend which was to catch a fish for Nathan. 
We landed a few! Here is a picture of our fishing adventure. 
1 John 3:1-3 "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! 
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has 
not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see 
Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."

God is good.
Happy Sabbath!!
Pastor Jason Vyhmeister
