is the theme of the Lutheran Women in Mission's Zone Rally being held today at Life in Christ. Yours truly will offer the opening devotion. Special music will be provide and several guests speakers are scheduled. Plus, the food and fellowship is great!
Later in the afternoon I'll be doing the committal service for one of our dear saints who has gone to rest in Jesus, Loretta Hertzog. I often visited with her and she would always have a cup of coffee ready so that we could sit and chat. She will be missed by her family and by us all.
At the 5 pm Saturday service, my little group and I will provide the music so come and join us. Or be with us on Sunday at 8 and 11 am for worship. My sermon title is "No More Tears." Also, we'll begin a new Bible study, based on Max Lucado's new book, "Anxious for Nothing."
Then, at 3 pm, we will hold an installation service for Jerry Andersen and Kevin Svec to serve as Deacons at LICL. Pastor Dave Poedel will serve as preacher. A reception will be held afterward in the Christian Life Center hall.
A busy weekend for sure. I will be trying hard to do as the psalmist has instructed - "Serve the Lord with Gladness!"
