Linda Bartlett Presents:
“The Failure of Sex Education in the Church.
Mistaken Identity, Compromised Purity”
October 12th at 2:00 pm
Trinity Lutheran Church—Fellowship Hall
Please read Linda’s extensive work to bring information to parents and their children on leading sexually pure lives as taught to us in the Bible. Linda has researched both secular and Biblical information to present the truth in love about the sexual movement in our country. Please take this opportunity to listen and respond to the findings as Linda presents them. After Linda presents her book there will be a panel of clergy along with Linda who will answer your questions.
Linda’s book is available at Amazon and you can find more information on this subject at Linda Barlett’s website: www.ouridentitymatters.com
This presentation is for all ages of our congregation. Teens, parents, grandparents and those who have responsibility to raise and influence our children should be inspired to come and hear what Linda has to present to us to preserve our children and our values for future generations.

- Naomi Circle meets on Wednesday, October 8th at 1:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Our topic will be "Living in Pain. Life Plan Disrupted" Found on page 18 of the Summer quarterly. You are always welcome to join us for Bible Study and fellowship.
- Stewardship: Matthew 21:43 “Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.” The Pharisees were not bearing fruit. Though they were faithful to the letter of the Law in keeping the Sabbath, tithing, and all the rest: they neglected the heart of God’s will. The grace of God belongs at the center. Our giving and all our other good works flow forth from receiving God’s grace and living in that grace on a daily basis.

Mercy
- “There is nothing political about preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts of those men and women crushed by an abortion decision in their past. There is nothing political about proclaiming that the blood of Christ, the blood on our altar, was shed for the sin of abortion. It is the ONLY message that can possibly bring healing to hearts broken by the sin of making a decision to have their own child killed. Indeed, it is a horrible offense to the Gospel to have this precious news and never apply it to the sin of abortion, never speak it for fear of being ‘political.’” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org
Witness
- Pastor Watt continues a study of Paul's letters to the Thessalonians today (Adult bible class hour). In these short letters, St. Paul encourages the small Thessalonian congregation to live in the Gospel and to fulfill their calling as Christians in a very pagan culture. Also we see Paul's deep pastoral care as he addresses issues in the life of the small congregation. The problems come from living in a hostile pagan culture and misunderstandings of Paul's prior teaching. Important topics covered in the letters include: The intermediate state (what happens to Christians when they die); The resurrection of the dead; The "Rapture" ; Christian vocation; and the doctrine of antichrist. Join us following worship every Sunday as we read the text and apply it to our own context.
- PROFOUND, PROVOCATIVE, PROFESSIONAL....Issues, Etc. is a radio talk show hosted by LCMS Pastor Todd Wilken and produced by Lutheran Public Radio in Collinsville, IL. This week's topics include: Christian Preaching, Decision Theology, God Calls Abram, Liberal Lutheranism, The Movie "Maze Runner" and more. You can listen to what you want when you want at www.issuesetc.org.
