HOUSE OF PRAYER
JESUS SAID, " MY HOUSE SHALL
BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER." When you enter the sanctuary
before worship, please enter quietly, as others
are preparing for worship. Before and after the service there
are opportunities for carrying on conversations in the fellowship
hall. Please refrain, however, from conversations in the
sanctuary. As the family of Christ, we cherish our opportunities
to share times of fellowship with one another. BUT THE
SANCTUARY IS GOD'S HOUSE OF PRAYER.

in honor of a birthday or an anniversary or in memory of a loved one?
We will need 50 copies of the hymnal to begin worship at our new mission
and the price per hymnal is scheduled to increase soon. If you would
like to donate one or more hymnals ($20.00 each), please enclose payment
(check payable to Concordia) and designation in an envelope
and mail to the office or place in the offering plate.
Help (STILL) Wanted!
If you have a pair of able hand or a weed-wacker...We
need YOU! As you stroll around the church grounds, you'll notice that
the weeds are making more and more of a statement, just daring us to
pull 'em! Those with able hands can stop by anytime and
yank those weeds right out. Stay as little or as much as you want. Every
bit helps! If you have a weed-wacker, please call the office to find
out what needs to be wacked!
Help Build the Kingdom!
Your investment in our mission project will help us
fuel our work in Northern Lehigh Valley. Concordia is issuing $5000.00
Promissory Notes for 5 years at 5% simple interest.
These notes, offered quarterly, will return to you $6259.00
at 5 years! Please prayfully consider this investment opportunity
in the building of His Kingdom! If you are interested or have any questions,

The Great Dinosaur Hunt!
Concordia-Bethlehem will be hosting a special
creation presentation brought to us by 21 youths and 6 adults
from Missouri and Minnesota. This program is for young and old
and we encourage you not to miss this opportunity to get answers
to some of those nagging creation questions: "Did God
really make everything in 6 days...including dinosaurs?"
"Was there room in the ark for dinosaurs?" Please
plan to join us on Today, 11:00-3:00pm.
Thank you! Our appreciation
to the following families who graciously offered to host these
youth and chaperones last night.

Stewardship Corner
As chosen and called stewards of God, we most
prepare our minds to think as stewards. The task of a steward
is simply to be a responsible manager of the owner's property
until the owner takes it back. As stewards, we are accountable
to God. "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's
sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes
of Him to Whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13)
God has placed His trust in us and enables us to be faithful
(1Corinthians 4:2). |
IF GOD HAS YOUR HEART, HE ALSO HAS
YOUR WALLET
"I am not commanding you [to give],
but I want to test the sincerity of your love by camparing
it with the earnestness of others" (2 Corinthians
8:8)

"Life
Quotes" from Lutherans for Life"
"Many see the pregant teen as 'promiscuous'
or as an abortion client. We see a child who needs to be cherished
and supported with advise and direction."
