Let Us Pray (from The Treasury of Daily Prayer)
O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?--(Psalm 15:1)
Almighty God, You invite us to trust in You for our salvation. Deal with us not in the severity of Your judgment but by the greatness of Your mercy; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Altar Guild Volunteers Needed
Thank you! to all who have volunteered to help with the Altar Guild. There is still need for one more volunteer for Holy Communion setup and cleanup. One to two people can set the altar on Saturdays or early Sunday mornings, and another person or couple is needed to clean up after Sunday’s late services. The volunteer schedule rotates monthly, and training is available. Volunteers are also needed for other services (Christmas, Holy Week, Easter, etc.) throughout the church year.
If you are interested in serving on the Altar Guild, please contact Marilyn Daughhetee (marilyn5162@att.net) or the church office (314-993-1834).

As November brings the end of the church year, Mr. Reske’s focus will be on the hymns of the end times.

Stewardship Thought
“With angels, archangels, and with all the company of heaven …” (Service of the Sacrament, Proper Preface). When we gather around the altar of the Lord in His House, we pray and praise God with “all the company of heaven.” Those we have lost in the Lord are not truly lost to us – they have simply entered their rest with the Lord. As we gather to worship our Lord, we gather along with them. On the Last Day, everything that God has given into the care of our stewardship will fade away – everything except our brothers and sisters in Christ. Caring for one another in love and grace is our highest calling.

Witness & Outreach Thought
Mark 12:38-44: The widow’s offering, though it was considered by many to be next to nothing, was precious in the sight of God because it was given sacrificially with confidence that God would provide for her needs. All that we do and give because we are the children of God, though it may seem insignificant to people of this world, is precious to God. Our witness to the Good News of Jesus is also precious to God!
