Scripture Readings for October 30, 2016

Reformation Sunday:

Jeremiah 31:31‐34

The renewed covenant will not be breakable, but like the

old covenant it will expect the people to live upright

lives. To know the Lord means that one will defend the cause of the poor and

needy (Jer. 22:16). The renewed covenant is possible

only because the Lord will forgive iniquity and not

remember sin. Our hope lies in a God who forgets.

Romans 3:19‐28

Paul’s words stand at the heart of the preaching of

Mar n Luther and the other Reforma on leaders. No

human beings make themselves right with God through works of the law.

We are brought into a right rela onship with God

through the divine ac vity centered in Christ’s death.

This act is a gi of grace that liberates us from sin

and empowers our faith in Jesus Christ.

John 8:31‐36

Jesus speaks of truth and freedom as spiritual reali es

known through his word. He reveals the truth that sets

people free from sin.

Sermon Title: Mar n & Ka e Luther by Pastor Dave Daugs

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Ma hew 25:35

God richly provides for daily bread — the earth can produce enough food for

everyone. Yet, many of our sisters and brothers s ll go hungry.

By providing immediate relief to those who are hungry, we meet basic needs and recognize the universal human right to food. But ending hunger is about more than food. By connec ng people with the resources they need to produce food and gain access to clean water, educa on, health care and sources of income,

long‐term, sustainable change can be accomplished.

We start with rela onships marked by conversa on and listening. We believe people know their own communi es best. It is our congrega ons and

our global companion churches that first iden fy the local needs and related solu ons to help make a difference. Then, we partner with communi es

to help make those solu ons a reality.

Working through ELCA congrega ons, global companion churches, The Lutheran World Federa on and other partners like Bread for the World,

Church World Service, Lutheran Immigra on and Refugee Service and Lutheran World Relief, the ELCA reaches more places more effec vely than we could ever do alone. In addi on to funding relief and development projects that assist our

sisters and brothers in need, we engage members of the ELCA in educa on and advocacy to help change the systems that perpetuate poverty.

Visit h ps://community.elca.org/elca‐good‐gi s/show‐all

Through this comprehensive approach, we work to address hunger from all angles — both domes cally and globally.

To Our Dear Emmanuel Lutheran Family, We want to thank you for giving us the gi of a ending Camp Lutherhaven. This was such an amazing experience, and we would like to share with you our favorite parts of being at camp. (The following comes from le ers wri en by the kids).

“Thank you for le ng us come. It was so fun. The food was so good. I love swimming in the lake. And it was special to have Pastor there. I loved the trampoline it was so fun.” ‐Kaylee Wood “I liked, no loved the food. I also like the cabins. They were nice and cozy. I love to make new friends and do lots of ac vi es with them. My favorite however was the challenge courses.” ‐Grace Allen “My favorite things at camp were: art, swimming, s’mores, and sleeping in bund beds. I love Camp Lutherhaven!” ‐Amelia Barker “My favorite things were having breakfast, going to the lake, playing games.” ‐Abby Cox

Thanks again Emmanuel Lutheran for suppor ng this wondrous ministry. As a former Lutherhaven camper, parent of current Lutherhaven campers, and youth leader of even more Lutherhaven campers, the gi of sending someone to camp is truly priceless. Thank you, Lisa Allen

(To be con nued, next week, with more camp memories from our Emmanuel Youth!)
