June 5-6 - Mark 3:20-35 Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit 28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoev-er blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” Mark 3:28-30

June 12-13 - Mark 4:26-34 The Parable of the Seed Growing 26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” Mark 4:26-29

June 19-20 - Mark 4:35-41 Jesus Calms a Storm 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were break-ing into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” Mark 4:37-41

June 26-27 - Mark 5:21-43 Jesus Heals a Woman And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his gar-ments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had hap-pened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” Mark 5:24-34

The Gospel for June

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30 And he said, “With what can we com-

pare the kingdom of God, or what parable

shall we use for it? 31 It is like a grain

of mustard seed, which, when sown on

the ground, is the smallest of all the

seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and be-

comes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large

branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its

shade.”

Mark 4:30-32

33 With many such par ables he spoke the

word to them, as they were able to hear

it. 34 He did not speak to them without a par able, but privately to

his own disciples he explained every-

thing.

A WORD FROM PASTOR LICHT PAGE 3 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

Once again the winter months have given way to springtime and soon we’ll be feeling the heat of sum-mer. Plants that have appeared dead all winter have sprung back to life and we busy ourselves with yardwork and gardening. It’s our annual reminder of how we were once dead in our trespasses and sins but have now been made alive in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:5).

Like a branch separated from its vine, we were dead with no life in us. But then came a miraculous springtime rain that not only soaked us but grafted us into the One who is the True Vine—Jesus. We call that miraculous rain Baptism, and by it we were saved from being cast on to the burn pile of eternal damnation.

Remaining in Christ we continue to grow and sprout like the plants of Spring. In Christ, our Vine, we receive the sap of life—His Word and His Sacraments. His Gospel message of sins forgiven flows through us, producing fruit as we share that forgiveness with others. His own body and blood keep us united with Him and with our fellow branches who have also been grafted into the Vine. And living the baptismal life of daily contrition and repentance, we remain ever mindful of our in-grafting through bap-tism.

There’s a point at which every branch has its attachment to the Vine. Break off that connection and the branch withers and dies. The point of our attachment to the Vine is the place where Christ has promised to be present to nurture and feed the branches. That point is none other than the Church. It’s where His lifeblood flows into us through Word and Sacrament.

It seems particularly easy to think less of this point of attachment during the summer months. Our pres-ence with our fellow branches, soaking up life from the Vine lessens with our summertime activities and travels. And this past year, with our need to keep distanced from one another for health concerns, has led some of us to value our point of attachment to the Vine even less. It’s never a healthy condition for a branch to begin loosening its connection to the Vine.

Thankfully, our resurrected Lord, the Vine, takes no time off from nurturing His branches. During every season of the year, and through every season of life, He continues His life-giving work for us. The Church, the point of attachment to the Vine, remains for us—no matter the weather, no matter the cir-cumstances we face—be that poverty or riches, fear of pandemic or joy of life—through it all He is pre-sent and active to sustain us and keep us, not just alive, but bearing fruit, and not just fruit but much fruit. And so we sing:

Let the Vineyards be fruitful Lord, And fill to the brim our cup of blessing. Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown, That we may be fed with the bread of life. Gather the hopes and the dreams of all; Unite them with the prayers we offer now. Grace our table with Your presence, And give us a foretaste of the feast to come. (LSB 955)

Men’s Ministry

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod LCMS Stewardship Ministry Newsletter Article – June 2021

“There are three conversions necessary to every man: the head, the heart, and the purse.” Attribut-ed to Luther, though yet to be located in his vast writings, this statement echoes what Jesus taught about hearts and treasures. He said, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be al-so.” (Matthew 6:21; Luke 12:34) But which conversion comes first? I submit that the order is this: first the head, then the purse, then the heart. Let’s explore this topic. Our Lord Jesus Christ dwelt among us to save us. He took on our flesh, fulfilled the demands of the law in our place, became sin for us, and suffered torture and death on our behalf. He did this in order that we would be free from sin, death, and hell. He gives us what He accomplished through Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper. And so, He doesn’t just do it for us but gives it to us. He makes what He did ours by making us His. Thus, we are called by His name: Christians. We have a new life in Him. Through the preaching of Law and Gospel, God grants us repentance, a changing of our minds. It is a conversion of the mind. We are called to turn away from our sins and turn toward Him for for-giveness, life, and salvation. For when God calls us away from something, He is, at the same time, calling us to something. And thus, He calls us to a new life, with new deeds. This is the conversion of the purse. Jesus said that “it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24) “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” No-tice that our hearts follow our treasures, not the other way around. As Christians, God calls us to invest our treasures in His Kingdom to ensure that the gospel is preached and the sacraments are administered. He calls us to share all good things with the one who teaches us the doctrines of Christ. He calls us to be generous in giving to the church, for it is more blessed to give than to re-ceive. So where is your treasure? If it is not invested in the kingdom of God, then the only response is repentance – a conversion of the heart – and to begin doing just that. And as our Lord promised, where your treasure is there your heart will be also. This is not to say that you earn your way into heaven. It is simply to say that as Christians, those who have been made to be temples of the Holy Spirit, who have been given a new life in Christ, who are dead to sin and now alive in Him, we are actually to live – think (conversion of the mind), do (conversion of the purse), and be (conversion of the heart) – a new life in Him. And when you fail, know that God in Christ loves and forgives you and still calls you away from that and to Him-self.

LITTLE BLESSINGS DAYCARE

The center has made it through the year with no huge issues with covid-19. We have learned a lot through our covid experience, and we will have a new normal from now on at the center. DHS and the health department has dropped the use of masks for the staff and children. We will not make anyone wear masks but will still offer masks if anyone is more comfort-able wearing them. All staff members have been offered the vaccine through the health department. The center continues to do the extra cleaning of the toys and equipment and furniture in the classrooms everyday and will continue until DHS and the health department says we can go back to normal cleaning.. We will continue to do our part of protecting all staff members and children. If anyone would ever like to read the information DHS passes on to us, please stop and we will give out a copy. We are having a summer school age program this year. If anyone needs care, please contact us. We still have a few openings. The center is looking at hiring a few new staff members. If anyone knows of someone in the childcare field, or is willing to learn about the childcare field, please have them con-tact us. The teach program through the state of Iowa is offering free college degrees for daycare staff to continue their education in childcare. If interested, please contact the center for more information.

“HELPFUL SIN?” “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV) In the devotion for “Mugs & Muffins”, Pastor Licht asked when sin was helpful, something to consider, that it can bring a change of heart and mind, to do God’s will and to his glory. Further passages included II Cor. 5:17-21, that Christ became sin for us, suffered for us and arose for us, his chosen children. We are reconciled to God through Christ, thus we are forgiven by our Lord, we can forgive others, and that sin gets rid of sin when placed on Jesus. (Rev. 7:13-14)

Parking Lot Pews & More

Parking Lot Pews: For those who still need to remain extra vigilant during the pan-demic, you will be able to listen to our 10:30 Sunday services from the parking lot. The audio of the service will be transmitted on FM frequency 98.3 for you to tune in on your car radio.

For communion distribution (1st, 3rd & 5th Sundays of the month) we request that those desiring to receive the sacrament move their cars after the sermon to park in a line along the sidewalk, facing toward Northwest Blvd. (see diagram). The ele-

ments of the Lord’s Supper will be distributed in individual, prefilled and sealed containers. A seal is peeled back by the communi-cant to receive Christ’s body and another seal is peeled back to re-ceive His blood. The empty packages will be collected for reverent cleaning and disposal.

BRUCE HARFORD IS TURNING 90! Let’s help him celebrate with a card par-ty! Judy will provide cupcakes on June 13th after the 8am service and you can leave a card for him then, or send to: 26 Northwest Crossing Davenport, IA 52806. Thank you for helping make his day a special one!

Pew Attendant Wanted! As we have returned to normal attendance taking at our worship services, we find ourselves in need of someone to keep us stocked in sharp pencils and attendance cards in the pews. This can be done any time through the week on your own schedule. Any-one interested in serving in this way, please call the church office.

Mark Your Calendars. Dr. Kevin Anderson is coming July 14.

Kevin is an expert on the soft biological tissue being found in Dinosaur bones. He explains the many types now identified and what it means to our understand-ing of dinosaurs. He has also researched the many explanations that evolution-ists have tried to explain this away - saying that somehow biological tissue could last 65+ million years while buried in dirt. A fascinating topic for all.

The new federal administration has reimposed government policies at odds with historic Judeo-Christian positions regarding abortion, marriage, sex, and gender. More pressing than political matters is the wide spread confusion in American culture regarding sex, marriage and gender which greatly complicates Christian life and witness. This Seminar prepares Christians to advo-cate confidently, purposefully and positively for the biblical vision of human sexuality within their families and in the public square not merely on religious freedom grounds, but as a matter of common sense, compassion and human flourishing. See the flier on the kiosk bulletin board for more information.

June - Dates to Remember


"YOU ARE THE WAY; THROUGH YOU ALONE"

You are the way; through You alone

Can we the Father find;

In You, O Christ, has God revealed

His heart and will and mind.

You are the truth; Your Word alone

True wisdom can impart;

You only can inform the mind

And purify the heart.

You are the life; the empty tomb

Proclaims Your conqu’ring arm,

And those who put their trust in You

Not death nor hell shall harm.

You are the way, the truth, the life;

Grant us that way to know,

That truth to keep, that life to win

Whose joys eternal flow.
