ALTAR FLOWERS
The beautiful flowers on our altar today are
given to the Glory of God by the Altar Guild.
LIFE THOUGHTS – Many observe Sanctity of
Human Life Sunday today. Isaiah 62:1-5 offers
opportunity to speak to those crushed by an abortion
decision in their past. It gives us names those
burdened by such sin need to hear applied to
them—“crown of beauty,” “royal diadem,” not
“forsaken,” not “desolate, “my delight,” “married.” In
short, regardless of our sin, in Christ God will
“rejoice over you.” Prayer: May those whose
repentant hearts feel so unworthy hear the worthy
names God gives them in Jesus. Amen. Life
Thoughts are based on the appointed readings from Lutheran Service
Book.
LIFE QUOTES - “The choice of life flows from
trusting in our God who gave us life. This in turn
flows from faith in God who has given us new life in
Jesus. You may not be able to trust a god who says,
‘Choose Life or else.’ But you can most certainly
trust in a God who says, ‘I chose to give My life for
you.’” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former executive director of Lutherans
For Life – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP - John 2:3 “When the wine ran out,
the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no
wine.”” Behold the faith of Mary: she sees a problem
and simply lays it before her Son and Lord, “They
have no wine.” She does not offer a proposed
solution, she does not demand, she simply states
her need and waits for the Lord's response. She
trusts that the Lord is a giver and she knows that He
always provides. May such a faith be ours! Stewardship
