HOLY COMMUNION is offered each Sunday. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is present in his holy meal. If you believe that Jesus’ body is given for you and that his blood is shed for you, you are welcome to join us at the altar. You may also come forward to be blessed. Hands cupped open indicate an openness to receive communion; hands closed reflect a desire to receive a blessing. White grape juice is available as an alternative to wine.
VISITORS: We want to get to know you! Join us for coffee after the service. Please fill out the visitors’ card in the pew rack. Drop the lower half in the offering plate as your gift today and keep the stained glass portion for your own use.
CHRIST IN OUR HOME/ LIGHT FOR TODAY: The January-February-March 2010 devotional books have arrived. Each day features a reading from scripture (a passage that will be read on the coming Sunday), a brief reflection on the scripture passage, and a prayer. It’s a great way to prepare for Sunday. Make a New Year’s Resolution to spend more time with God’s Word and pick up a free copy in the Narthex.

THE LUTHERAN-February Issue: The feature articles discuss the new social media technologies ( Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Skype…just to name some) and how they are impacting our interactions inside as well as outside congregations, the positives and the negatives. As counterpoints, check out the articles on “Fast Eddie (pp.34-35) and an intentional community of Lutherans (pp. 28-30). (Intentional Community or “new monasticism” is a movement growing among the same generation that is eagerly embracing the social media technologies.) Other articles describe how congregations are expanding their ministry through use of space, creative worship practices, and even passing on the building. Two articles touch on the importance of story in understanding the Bible-“It tells our stories,” writes Professor Rolf Jacobson in the opening article. Another article talks about ministry to sea farers and the special challenges they face in these troubled times. Harps and hospice in Japan…news from Lutherans and other Christians across the country and around the world…a moving encounter from the churchwide assembly…letters from readers…Light Side humor and more! Don’t miss this issue. Free copies are available in the Narthex.
CENTERED LIFE-Bethany House of Studies at Bethnay Lutheran in Lindsborg, March 6th, 9am-3pm.
