Mercy

“The Church cannot just be against abortion, it must be FOR LIFE! Sharing the truth of the immeasurable value God gives to life not only exposes the heresy of abortion it also prevents Christians from falling prey to this heresy. For those who have been seduced by the heresy of abortion, the truth offers The Way back—Jesus Christ and His grace.” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org

Want Some Help to Make a Stronger Marriage? Lutheran Family Service can help. Visit http://helpingmarriageswork.com/ for tools and contact information to help you with the hard task of keeping your marriage on the right track.

Building Healthy Families: As you and your children or grandchildren prepare for Halloween this week, take time to reflect on the masks you put on during the week. How do you think others view you? How do you want them to view you? More importantly, how does Jesus view you? (Look up 1 Samuel 16:7 and Colossians 2:13-14) Resist the temptation to compare yourself with others and don't allow feelings of insecurity to rob you of your identity in Christ. God knows who you really are. He loves you and created you for a purpose. Perhaps you would like to shed your false identity. For help sorting this out, call LFS. We can help you make Halloween a fun annual event instead of a daily identity struggle. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa (515) 251-4900; 7177 Hickman Road, Suite 3; Des Moines, IA 50322
