Building Healthy Families: Humility is hard to come by during an argument - especially when you think you are right and your husband (or wife) is wrong. Here are 9 simple but powerful words that can help when conflict comes in your marriage: I am sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me. “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger”. Proverbs 15:1. Lutheran Family Services
Stewardship Corner - As faithful stewards, we acknowledge our responsibility and the opportunity to serve and honor God with our lives and blessings. Jesus shared the secret of living the fruitful life: “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it” (Luke 9:23-24). It is only by giving ourselves in complete service to the Savior that we can find our true places in life and fill them.

The day begins with garage sales, the parade begins at 11 a.m. followed by a Steak Sandwich luncheon at the complex. Kids of the Kingdom Preschool will be serving cobbler and ice cream for dessert.
