*New this year! Third graders will be blessed with a brand new Faith Alive Bible!
Couples of the Old Testament is the Bible study that the Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study will be starting in September. In the Old Testament there are arranged marriages, fiercely loving marriages, enduring marriages, an instant marriage, a coerced marriage and a perfect marriage--until the couple blew it! In this study on nine Old Testament couples, we are going to dig deeper into these relationships highlighted in the Bible to learn important lessons about marriage, God, and ourselves. Some of the couples we will look at are Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Hosea and Gomer, along with six others. Starting on Wednesday, September 13th, you are invited to join us every Wednesday morning at 10:00 in the Gathering Room for Bible study, prayer, and the singing of hymns. Bring your favorite Bible, and bring a friend! For more information contact Mary Sund at 763-233-2417 or Linda Krantz at 763-476-0587.
HELP FOR MAUI
The following is an excerpt from an email dated 08.24.23 from Rev. Mike Lange, CNH District President regarding efforts in Maui:
Support going forward:
Support going forward:
- Emmanuel, Maui (presently in a vacancy) will be blessed by capable pastoral care through the end of September. Other pastoral workers are being arranged for, as needed. A pastoral call has been extended; pray for God’s will to be done.
- Local leaders have been trained and empowered. Clear organization for relief is planned. (LCC, supported by CNH leadership, works to sustain those leaders from a distance.)
- Trained counselors and spiritual/pastoral care providers will continue to be deployed with grant assistance from LCMS Disaster response.
- Four children, displaced from school by the fire, are being enrolled at Emmanuel, with tuition paid for this year.
- Counselors are scheduled for deployment in the next several weeks to assist in a pastoral and spiritual response and to train local volunteers.
- Plans are being made by the response team to assist school and church families, who are housing displaced people long-term, providing temporary shelter and necessary support systems.
- Sustaining support, care, and funding will be facilitated through the people of Emmanuel.
Your gifts sustain:
- Established trusted relations with multiple Points of Distribution for fire survivors around the island, supplying requested commodities.
- Gift cards that support temporary needs and provide a Gospel conversation.
- Sustained training, support, and care for Emmanuel members.
Praise God for the response of ALL his people. Ask God to grant his grace through the presence of his people and, specifically, to sustain the people of Emmanuel Lutheran Church and School on Maui.
May Jesus’ love strengthen and empower us all,
Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Maui (indicate for disaster relief)

“How will I ever understand Revelation?” For years people would ask pastor Jim Knotek his opinion of The Mark of the Beast—666, Armageddon, the Millennium and other topics in the Book of Revelation. He was convinced that Revelation is a book of historical and prophetical parallels, not a chapter-by-chapter chronological account. Chapter twelve focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ, which is in the middle of the book! How could that be if it were a linear account? And what about several events that are described more than once, paralleling one another?
This fall, Redeemer’s Men’s Life Group will begin studying Revelation, verse by verse, with a wonderful book by Pastor Knoteck called “Unlocking the Mystery of Revelation.” The book has easy-to-understand charts and graphs, along with commentary on every passage of Scripture. It’s written for non-pastors in an interesting, relevant way. The Men’s Group study begins Wednesday, September 13th, at 6:15 p.m. Optional dinner is from 5:30-6:00 p.m.
