Gospel Luke 12:32-40

If you are reading this on-line, the text above in blue will take you to the readings shown provided by Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library.
Jesus says, "It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."  It is God's promise from the beginning--to Abraham, to the early church and to the "little flock" of which we are a part today in assembly.  Faith, God's baptismal gift, trusts the promise of God.  Have no fear.

Dear Holy Trinity Church,
     Greetings in Jesus name and blessing upon your ministry.  Your grace extending a room for a Gold Star Mother who came to North Wildwood to raise the casket flag of her son was appreciated beyond words. 
     Thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you richly as you serve Him!
                   God Bless and keep you,
                    Rev Deb Moore 
Commemorated August 15th

Mary, Mother of Our Lord

 
The church honors Mary with the Greek title theotokos, meaning God-bearer.  Origen first used this title in the early church.  Luther upheld this same title in his writings.  The honor paid to Mary goes back to biblical times. when Mary herself sang, "From now on all generations will call me blessed" (Luke1:48).  Mary's life revealed the presence of God Incarnate, and it revealed God's presence among the humble and poor.

O GOD, look with compassion on the one in seven Americans who face hunger in this country.  Preserve their dignity as they struggle to get enough to eat.  May those looking for jobs find new opportunities to earn a living.  May those who are unable to work be supported and sustained by their communities.  Lord, in your mercy.

Congratulations! 
We have raised enough to get a cow
and are working on buying a farm!

NEW JERSEY SYNOD COW CHALLENGE 2018–2019 Did you know that one dairy cow can produce as many as three gallons of milk each day? That nutritious, calcium-packed milk from a cow helps ensure that children in a family or a community can grow up healthy and strong. Extra milk can also be used to make cheese, yogurt, butter and other dairy products to eat and sell for a steady source of income. With food and funds—not to mention fertilizer for fields—a cow is a total package for a family which would otherwise face hunger.
Between now and the 2019 Synod Assembly, each congregation in the New Jersey Synod is invited to raise $500, which is what the ELCA World Hunger Appeal spends to provide one cow through their Good Gifts program. Read on to learn more about the ELCA World Hunger and this special opportunity for your congregation to get involved! (Please click here for more information on the Bishop's Challenge)
