Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Worship Focus:  We say, “you can’t take it with you,” but we still spend a great deal of our time and energy dealing with money and earthly possessions. Jesus told his disciples that it was more difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Jesus’  parable of the rich man and Lazarus shows us that God’s kingdom and the Word of God that leads us into that kingdom are greater treasures than money and riches. May we make the Scriptures and the kingdom of God the first things in our lives.

Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Worship Focus:  A significant aspect of our Chrisitan lives is stewardship. Stewardship is simply managing the unique blessings that God gives each of us in this life. Today’s service encourages us to be faithful stewards of the the treasures that God has entrusted to us. With thanksgiving in our hearts for the many physical and spiritual blessings God has showered on us, Christians gladly give back to the Lord who has given us everything we need for this life and who has done everything to secure our eternal life with him. May Jesus bless us and give us the courage, strength and insight to work hard at being good stewards of our physical blessings.

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Worship Focus:  “Jesus sinners does receive!” This repeating phrase from today’s Hymn of the Day summarizes the common thought in today’s Scripture readings. Jesus does not seek the self-righteous person who trusts in his or her own good works. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, to rescue repentant sinners from the guilt of their sin and to comfort them with his limitless grace won for them by his death on the cross. Those who are weighed down by guilt can rejoice that “Jesus sinners does receive!”

A Closer Look

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Worship Focus: Christ calls for complete commitment from his disciples. Through Jesus’ teaching in today’s Gospel account and through concrete examples in the First and Second Lesson in today’s service, we see that the commitment to be Jesus’ disciples call us to place him first and foremost in our lives, above anyone and anything else. May the Holy Spirit strengthen us to faithfully take up our cross and follow Jesus in our lives!
