In Ephesians 2:8, Paul writes, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your doing. It is the gift of God." As who are Lutheran, we say "We are justified (saved) by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone." We know that in spite of the fact that we are unacceptable, for Christ’s sake, God has accepted us just as we are. We know that we are saved by God’s free grace alone and God’s grace does not waver like our feelings of faith. So as God’s sent September people, let us 30, hold 2018 on to God’s grace and be God’s ministers and witnesses to all those around us every day of our lives. 19th Sunday after We, though many, are made one in Christ to serve all. 9:00Christ a.m.is the Worshipcornerstone of our faith, and through Christ, we strive to be a cornerstone10:00 of our community.a.m. Coffee & Fellowship
