God once invited Abraham to “Look up at the heavens and count the stars — if indeed you can count them.”  Then God promised, “So shall your offspring be.” (Gen. 15:5) Christians are the spiritual offspring of Abraham, as numerous as the uncountable stars in the heavens.  Through the prophet Daniel, God promised that those who lead others to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)  Jesus urges us to “let your light shine before people, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)  Jesus calls us to shine like stars!

Worship with us this Sunday, November 10th, as we come together, empowered to “Shine Like Stars!” We will have one service Sunday, November 17th, and throughout the year at 10:00 a.m.  Our liturgy will be Setting 1 in the Lutheran Service Book.  The Lord’s Supper will be celebrated in our worship.  If you are visiting with us, please talk to Pastor before the service if you wish to receive Christ’s body and blood.  Sunday School for children through 6th grade will start in worship and go to learn and grow hearing Jesus’ love in ways that they can especially understand.  Following our worship together there will be a Voters’ Assembly to consider lighting for a restored parking lot at Holy Faith.  Welcome to the family because we are all about building:
