Building Healthy Families: Listen to the news on any given evening and you will be inundated with accounts of terrible things that are happening, around the world and close to home. It’s easy to become distressed and overwhelmed. And it’s possible for a traumatic news story to trigger memories of your own trauma – experienced recently or in your personal history long ago. This week, take a few minutes to commit Jesus’ words to memory and recall them whenever you hear distressing news: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Know that we’re here for you and others you know to help overcome the hardships of life – bringing professional supportive counseling grounded in our shared worldview and Christian faith. Call us – it’s why we’re here! Learn more at www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
Stewardship Moment: In sports, people become part of a team. As Christians, we are invited by God to be on His team. The Church is like a team devoted to serving Jesus Christ. The team consists of men, women, and children from different racial and economic backgrounds. The team is the family of God. As members of God’s team, we seek “to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10). God’s love flows through us as we love all those around us by bringing them the good news of salvation, encouraging one another in the faith. As part of God’s team, we seek opportunities to recruit other people to join the team so they can enjoy the wonderful blessings that God gives to those on His team.
