Monday, June 15: God’s blessings on the middle of your month! It was great to worship our Lord along with many of you at the Volksfest Service yesterday, and to hear an excellent message from Pastor Schmiel. Thanks to those who sang in the choir and played in the band, and to our accompanist Julie Thermos- your service was greatly appreciated!
A passage to think about: Lamentations 3:26 (NIV)- “It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” When we pray to God for help, we generally want God’s rescue from our troubles to come quickly. But he doesn’t always work that way. He hears our prayers right away; in fact, he knows our need before we even ask him, and plans how to help us in just the right way at just the right time. But the time he knows is right is often down the road- and meanwhile he lets us exercise our faith by still trusting him, still praying to him and still praising him and living for him, even while we wait for his right time to deliver us. God, give us so to trust in you!
People to pray for:
-As Jesus told us to do, pray to the Lord to send out more workers into his harvest field of souls. The need for more pastors in our Synod (and in many other church bodies) is great! Pray that God will give his encouragement to the members of Christ, Zumbrota, since Pastor Mark Reichert, whom they had called, has chosen to keep serving the congregation in Beaver Dam, where he is. Ask God to give our brothers and sisters at Christ patience, to send them the right man at his right time to be their next pastor, and to be with Pastor Sternberg as he serves them in their vacancy at this time, since Pastor Engel will be going to Duluth.
-Keep praying for Dave Burfeind for continued improvement so he may come home again soon.
-Keep praying for Elroy Strusz, that God will continue his improvement and let him find the care he needs so he can come home from Benedictine Nursing home in Hastings, where he is now.
-Pray for God’s comfort for the family of Eileen Stechmann, member at Christ, Zumbrota, former Schoolteacher at St. John/s, Goodhue, and part of our little flock that gathers regularly to hear God’s word at the services we hold at Goodhue Senior Living. She passed away on June 6. Her funeral will be tomorrow at Christ, at 11 a.m. Visitation will be tonight at Mahn’s in Zumbrota, and an hour before the service tomorrow.
Coming up:
-Family VBS is coming this week Tuesday through Thursday evenings- June 16-18. (Optional Supper at 5 p.m.; VBS itself from 6:00 -7:30 p.m.; stick around to visit and kids to play afterwards if you’d like. (On Friday, instead of supper at 5, there will be a picnic potluck right after VBS at 7:30 p.m.) It’s not too late to invite your friends and neighbors of all ages to join us! Even if you can’t make all the days, you are welcome to come on any of the days when it works for you.
-Wednesday Worship is at 7 p.m. at Grace this week. The sermon this week focuses on God’s will for fathers, and what legacy they will leave their children.
-Thursday Midweek Bible Class meets this Thursday at St. Peter’s at 10:30 a.m. I am up to teach on “A look at the other lessons” coming up in church this next Sunday besides the sermon text.
Looking ahead:
-Men’s Bible Breakfast is this Saturday. It is being hosted by the men of Christ, Zumbrota. It will be held downstairs at their church building in town (not out at the new Ministry Center). I am up to teach on God’s will and plan for Grandfathers.
-Saturday Worship Service at St. John’s takes place at 4 p.m.
-Sunday Worship will follow our regular Summer Schedule, with service at 8:30 a.m. at Grace, and 10:15 a.m. at St. Peter’s. Remember that this Sunday is Father’s Day.
May our Lord Jesus give you his peace, patience, and perseverance in the faith in him this week and every week!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

Saturday, June 13: The Lord’s blessings on your day and the rest of the weekend! Thanks to him for the rain last night and the beautiful day he’s giving us today. How good to know that these things are a gift from him who loves us, not just random luck!
A passage to think about: Mark 16:15 (NIV) – “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” At District Convention I heard of a beautiful way God is bringing good out of a terrible situation to help spread the gospel of Christ and salvation in his name. We have a sister church in Ukraine- the Ukrainian Lutheran Church, that we have been working with for some time. The country has been suffering terribly because of the Russian invasion and the war that continues. Yet in the midst of this, the Ukrainian Lutheran Church has been growing significantly! And God has given us a little part in that. We and our brothers and sisters in the WELS have been sending aid to help the needy people there, and the churches of the Ukrainian Lutheran Church have been distributing this aid, along with the help they themselves can provide. God has used this to bring many souls in contact with the churches, and to see the Christian love shown to them and others. Doubtless God is also using the hardships of war to teach people to see their need for eternal life and set their hearts on heaven, rather than focusing just on earthly life. Thanks to our God who works in all things for the good of those whom he has called!
People to pray for:
-Dave Burfeind, in the hospital again at St. Mary’s fighting an infection that has come back and impacted him greatly- that God keep him safe in the faith in Jesus all his days unto eternal life, and relief from the sickness that plagues him now.
-Elroy Strusz, at Benedictine Nursing home in Hastings, that God keep his spirits up in Christ, and strengthen his body so he can get home again.
-Pastor Mark Reichert of Beaver Dam as he deliberates on the call to Christ, Zumbrota, and our brothers and sisters in Christ at that congregation, that they not get discouraged because of the long vacancy, but keep on with the work of nurturing souls and reaching out with the gospel, and trust God to send the right pastor at the right time to be their next full time shepherd.
-Pray for God’s blessings on our Volksfest activities today at St. Peter’s, and on the Volksfest Service on Sunday, and Pastor Schmiel’s message, that souls may be brought closer to Christ.
Coming up:
-Volksfest Burrito Breakfast is downstairs at St. Peter’s this morning from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., while quilts by area quilting groups are on display upstairs; Car show is planned outside on the SP grounds from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free will offerings at the burrito breakfast to support the Goodhue Community Help Network. If you are in town, stop by!
-Joint Volksfest Worship Service is this Sunday at Goodhue Gym 1 at 9 a.m. Guest Preacher is Rev. Stephen Schmiel- Minnesota District Mission Board Chairman. There will not be regular worship services at the separate locations of our Goodhue WELS congregations; the Volksfest Service is our Sunday Service this week. Please come to the Volksfest Service if you are in town, if at all possible!
If you bring your offering in envelopes, that will go back to your congregation; loose plate will support the work of the Community Help Network; there will also be a container for donations to the Zumbrota Food Shelf that you can bring.
(Those singing in the Volksfest Choir please try to get there at 8:15 a.m. for practice; band members as well, by 8:25, if possible.)
-Volksfest Parade at 1 p.m .Sunday includes a float sponsored by the St. John’s CEA with kids handing out treats and informational and VBS flyers.
Looking ahead:
-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. (Optional Supper at 5 p.m.; VBS itself from 6:00 -7:30 p.m.; stick around to visit and kids to play afterwards if you’d like.) Invite your friends of all ages to join us!
The peace of God in Christ Jesus be with you! Hope to see many of you today and tomorrow!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

Thursday, June 11: God’s blessings on your weekend! Thanks to him for sparing us from severe storms yesterday, and for some needed moisture that he is bringing us today. It was a joy to visit with many brothers in Christ at District Convention on Tuesday and Wednesday, and to hear of the work God is carrying out through our church body- especially the many places where he is letting us spread the gospel of Christ in world missions. One example: The “Academia Cristo” Spanish language online Bible information classes have resulted in many groups who have been gathered in various places in Latin America now gathering into “house church” groups- including one where many children (I forget the number but I think it was around 30) were baptized in one afternoon meeting.
At the Convention, delegates from our area made the decision to end the “Chapel of the Air” Radio broadcasts, since they are less used and necessary than in the past, now that people can watch or listen to online services, and less pastors are available for the preaching. Broadcasts will continue through August.
A passage to think about: Matthew 24:14 (NIV) – “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” This is the great reason God is letting our world continue- so the good news of Jesus and salvation can be preached to more people, and more souls brought to faith in Christ, before Christ’s second coming brings Judgment Day and the end of this present world. Who in the world might God let you share that gospel with this week? Who in another part of the world might be reached, that you can be praying for, and helping send missionaries to, even though you don’t know who they are?
People to pray for:
-Pastor Dennis Klatt of New Hope, MN, who has been reelected as President of our Minnesota District of the WELS, that God will give him strength, wisdom, humility and love to carry on the work God has given him, for the good of the congregations and called workers of our district- including working with congregations that are in need of pastors and Christian Schoolteachers, to help them with the calling process.
-Pastor Peter Sternberg of St. John’s, Red Wing, who was elected to serve as Circuit Pastor for our Goodhue Circuit of WELS congregations in our area, since our outgoing Circuit Pastor, Todd Engel of Red Wing, has accepted a call to serve our congregation in Duluth- pray that God will give Pastor Sternberg strength, wisdom and love for souls to carry out his office well, for the good of the congregations and called workers in our circuit. The responsibilities of a circuit pastor include being a spiritual shepherd for the other pastors and called workers serving in the circuit, helping see to it that congregations with a pastoral vacancy have vacancy pastors to serve them, and assisting with call meetings, and being someone to whom congregations can go if they have problems with their pastors or called workers that they need advice or help to resolve.
-St. Peter’s member Karen Puppe- that God will bless her adjustment to staying at the Lake City Care Center, where she is now a resident.
-Pray also that God will bless the activities and joint worship service that our congregations are holding for Volksfest this weekend!
Coming up:
-Midweek Bible Class at St. Peter’s at 10:30 a.m. (Pastor Robbert is up to teach).
-Band practice for those playing for our Volksfest Service will be today at Grace at 5:30 p.m. (another session is being planned tomorrow for some who can’t make it today.)
-Church Council Meetings are tonight at Grace- Grace Council meets at 6:30 p.m. and St. Peter’s Council meets at 7:30 p.m.
-Volksfest Burrito Breakfast is downstairs at St. Peter’s this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., while quilts by area quilting groups are on display upstairs; Car show is planned outside on the SP grounds from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free will offerings at the burrito breakfast to to support the Goodhue Community Help Network.
-Joint Volksfest Worship Service is this Sunday at Goodhue Gym 1 at 9 a.m. Guest Preacher is Rev. Stephen Schmiel- Minnesota District Mission Board Chairman.
(Those singing in the Volksfest Choir please try to get there at 8:15 a.m. for practice; band members as well.)
-Volksfest Parade at 1 p.m .Sunday includes a float sponsored by the St. John’s CEA with kids handing out treats and informational and VBS flyers.
Looking ahead:
-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. (Optional Supper at 5 p.m.; VBS itself from 6:00 -7:30 p.m.; stick around to visit and kids to play afterwards if you’d like.) Invite your friends of all ages to join us!
The joy of the Lord fill your heart and overflow in your life this weekend!

Monday, June 8: The Lord’s blessings on your new week! It was good to worship our Lord together and spend time together with many of you yesterday morning! It was good to get some rain last evening for our drying soil- it’s always good to have God’s mercy and forgiveness to us in Christ rain down into our drying hearts through his Word that we hear and his Supper that we receive.
A passage to think about: 1 Peter 3:1 (NIV)- “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” The “pure spiritual milk” this verse is talking about is God’s word. Babies want milk, not because someone says they have to drink it, but because it tastes good and they are thirsty for it. For that reason, babies nurse and drink their mother’s milk, not once a week, or just once a day, but multiple times every day- they want to! And they will cry if they don’t get that milk regularly. And that milk makes them grow. Taste from the Word that tells you about God’s forgiveness of your sins, and Christ’s love for you, and the heavenly kingdom God prepared for you, and how he is with you right now; and through that may God give you a craving for more of his word, like a growing baby craves its mother’s milk!
People to pray for:
-Pray for God’s blessings on Pastoral Assistant Ben Raasch, as he continues his studies with his online courses, and as he serves God’s people here. (He will be leading the devotion at Goodhue Senior Living tomorrow, and preaching and leading the Wednesday Evening service this week, while I am in New Ulm for District Convention.
-Pray for God’s blessings on the District Convention for our Minnesota District of the WELS that is taking place in New Ulm at the Martin Luther College Campus on Tuesday and Wednesday. The main things that affect us will be electing (or re-electing) district President, Vice-Presidents and Secretary; and meetings of our Circuit and representatives to elect a new Circuit Pastor to replace Pastor Engel, to decide whether we continue the Chapel of the Air radio broadcast or not, and perhaps also discuss how to continue serving the vacancy at Christ, Zumbrota, if the man they currently called should decline, since Pastor Engel has also been serving as the vacancy pastor there.
-Pray for continued improvement for Elroy Strusz, currently doing rehab at Benedictine Nursing Home in Hastings, so he can return home before long.
Coming up:
-Service at Goodhue Senior Living tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.
-Wednesday Worship at Grace at 7 p.m.
-Thursday Bible Class at St. Peter’s at 10:30 a.m. (Pastor Robbert)
-Church Council Meetings Thursday evening at Grace- 6:30 p.m. for Grace Councill 7:30 p.m. for SP Council.
Looking ahead:
-Volksfest is coming up- Burrito Breakfast, car show and quilting at SP on Saturday, May 13; and Joint Worship Service Sunday at Goodhue Gym 1 at 9 a.m. (Guest Preacher Stephen Schmiel- Minnesota District Mission Board Chairman)
-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. (Optional Supper at 5 p.m.; VBS itself from 6-7:30 p.m.; stick around to visit and kids to play afterwards if you’d like.) Invite your friends of all ages to join us!
God’s grace and peace in Christ fill your heart and your week!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

Friday, June 5: God’s blessings on your weekend! It was good to worship our Lord together with a number of your Wednesday evening, and spend time in the word with some of you in Bible Class yesterday morning. Some neat news: We now have 18 youth and 4 chaperones signed up to go to the Youth Rally in late July. (I am one of those chaperones, and I am much looking forward to it!)
A passage to think about: Psalm 24:1 (NIV)- “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it; the world and all who live in it.” Think of how much this one truth means: For your very existence, you have the Lord to thank; for all the good things you enjoy in this world, you have the Lord to thank; whatever God lets you possess in this world belongs to him- you are just the manager of it for a while, and to be a good manager means to use it in the way he wants you to; all that belongs to your neighbor also belongs to God, so if you cheat your neighbor out of his possessions, you are not just sinning against your neighbor, your are defying God, who chose to let your neighbor be the manager of that part of God’s possessions; your own body is not yours to do with it whatever your sinful flesh feels like at the moment- it belongs to God, and it is precious to him, and he wants you to use it in the good ways in which he guides you by his word and leads you by his Holy Spirit, who lives in you. How good it is that the same LORD to whom all things belong is the one who loved you so that he sent his Son to pay for all your sins against him to whom all things belong, so you might be more than his possession, but his dear child, forever!
People to pray for:
-Thank God for letting Dave Burfeind improve enough in health to make it home again, and pray for God to continue to watch over him there.
-Thank God for letting Elroy Strusz improve enough to make it out of the hospital and to a stint for rehab at Benedictine Nursing Home in Hastings, and pray for his continued recuperation.
-Keep praying for Minde Rude in her battle against pancreatic cancer that is also in her liver.
-Keep praying for God’s guidance for Pastor Mark Reichert with the call to Christ, Zumbrota.
-Keep praying for all others who are sick and suffering.
Coming up:
-Women’s Bible Study at St. John’s tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.
-Choir Practice for the joint Volksfest Choir tomorrow at Grace at 9:30 a.m. (We could use more singers; please come and join us if interested, and encourage others to come!) We will plan for an additional practice before the service on the morning of Volksfest Service.
-This Sunday we have Worship Service at 8:30 a.m. at Grace, and at 10:15 a.m. at St. Peter’s. We will have communion at both locations, since we will not have communion at the Volksfest Service the following week.
Looking ahead:
-Since Pastor Weigand will be coming back from District Convention in New Ulm this coming Wednesday Evening, Pastoral Assistant Ben Raasch will conduct the Wednesday evening service.
-Council Meetings are next week Thursday, at Grace, with Grace Council Meeting at 6:30 p.m. and St. Peter’s Council Meeting at 7:30 p.m. (Those times were mistakenly switched around in the June Calendar.)
-Volksfest is coming up- Burrito Breakfast, car show and quilting at SP on Saturday, May 13; and Joint Worship Service Sunday at Goodhue Gym 1 at 9 a.m. (Guest Preacher Stephen Schmiel- Minnesota District Mission Board Chairman)
-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. Invite your friends of all ages to join us!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ fill your hearts with peace today and every day!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

Wednesday, June 3: God’s blessings on the middle of your week! I hope you’ve been able to get out and enjoy the beautiful days God has been giving us, and that you will today. A quick correction to the calendar- for the Council Meetings on Thursday, June 11 at Grace- Grace will meet first, at 6:30 p.m., St. Peter’s Council will meet at 7 p.m. (I had it turned around in the calendar.)
A passage to think about: Luke 8:4,11 (NIV)- “A farmer went out to sow his seed. … This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.” This is an excerpt from Jesus’ parable of the Sower and the Seed. When you share the word of God with others, you are sowing seeds. Just like the seeds a farmer or gardener sows in the ground, not everyone of them comes up, and you may not see the results of the sowing in plants coming up where you sowed seed until some time after the seed went into the ground, so not every person with whom you share the word of God will receive it with a believing heart; and where the word does change a persons heart, so that they come to faith in Christ, or are strengthened in faith, or their faith bears fruit in good works- you won’t necessarily see the results right away. Don’t let that stop you from sowing seeds! Keep sowing, and leave the results to God.
People to pray for:
-Thank God for bringing Jessi Robbert safely through a successful knee replacement surgery, and pray for a good recuperation.
-Thank God for giving Dave Burfeind considerable improvement and pray that this will continue; and pray for continued improvement for Elroy Strusz, and continued strengthening for Larry Holst, who is back at work.
-Keep asking God for his guidance for Pastor Mark Reichert (not Dave- sorry for that error in a previous Daily Thought) of Beaver Dam, WI, as he considers the call to Christ, Zumbrota.
-Pray for God’s blessings on our preparation for the Volksfest Service and related events, and that they all may bring glory to our Savior, and the service may give strengthening and encouragement in the faith in Jesus and in spreading his word.
Coming up:
-Area WELS joint choir practice tonight at Grace at 6 p.m. We are practicing several numbers to get ready to sing them at the Volksfest Service.
-Wednesday Worship Service tonight at Grace at 7 p.m. We will be having Communion this week and not next week.
-Thursday Midweek Bible Class is tomorrow at St. Peter’s at 10:30 a.m. I am up to teach lesson the final lesson of the series, “Living my Life as a Christian.” This week’s lesson is “Living my Life as a Member of God’s Church.”
-This Sunday we have Worship Service at 8:30 a.m. at Grace, and at 10:15 a.m. at St. Peter’s. We will have communion at both locations, since we will not have communion at the Volksfest Service the following week.
The love of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, fill your heart today and through the week!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

Monday, June 1: The Lord’s blessings on you in this new month! It was great to worship our Lord together with many of you yesterday! Congratulations to all our graduates: High School Graduates: Cain Lexvold and Riley Redepenning from Zumbrota-Mazeppa; , Emilee Majerus and Sofia Lodermeier from Goodhue; Andrew Voight (home-schooled); and Morgan Luhman from Triton.

A passage to think about: Psalm 145:1-2 (NIV) – “I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.” Because of his love and salvation in Christ, we will get to praise his name for ever and ever. But you don’t have to wait until you are in heaven to extol his name. Every day on earth, including today, gives you a chance to praise your God and Savior- in your words to others, in how you treat and serve those around you, and with thoughts of thanks to him and songs of praise to him in your heart. Praise him today!
People to pray for:
-Thank God for bringing Larry Holst home from the hospital after he was admitted with a stroke in one eye and some other issues. Thank God for some improvement in this vision, and ask for continued healing in all his health issues, and strength from God for his work, and people to help out while he is regaining his strength.
-Pray for Dave Burfeind, in the hospital at St. Mary’s healing from an infected wound and receiving care to help his heart work more easily. Thank God for the improvement he has already had and pray for it to continue; and for God to continue to keep him strong in the faith in Christ.
-Pray for Elroy Strusz, in the hospital at Red Wing recovering from an injection he came down with, that God will strengthen him to come home again and provide all the help he needs.
-Pray for God’s guidance for Pastor Dave Reichert of Beaver Dam, WI, as he considers the call he is holding to Christ, Zumbrota.

-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. Invite your friends of all ages to join us!

I will be contacting those I know of who can play a band instrument with us for a couple of hymns for the Volksfest Service. If you play an instrument, or know one of our members who does that I don’t know about, please contact me so they too can be asked.
May the joy of our Lord in his great works fill your heart today and through the week!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand

05/29/2026

Friday, May 29: God’s blessings on your weekend! It was great to see 12 people gathered around God’s word and enjoying fellowship with each other at Midweek Bible Class yesterday morning. Remember that this class continues all through the summer. It was also great to worship our Lord with a number of you Wednesday evening, and enjoy fellowship afterwards as we celebrated our graduate. Remember that this Sunday at Grace we are doing the same for the rest of our grads.
A passage to think about: 1 Corinthians 15:42-43 (NIV) – “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.” This time of year we see the glorious results of sowing dried up brown seeds into the ground- beautiful plants spring up from the earth, alive, much greater than the seed that was sown, and often bearing gloriously beautiful flowers. What a beautiful picture of the resurrection of the dead that we look forward to! Today the body of one of our sisters in Christ will be “sown” in the ground in the cemetery behind Grace. Thanks to Jesus, how different and how glorious her body will be when our Lord comes again and calls her forth from the earth on the last day! And in Jesus, you can look forward to the same.
People to pray for:
-Keep praying for God’s comfort for the family of LaVonne Scharpen, and that todays funeral service will give that comfort we have in Christ to many.
-Pray for God’s help and strength for Minde Rude, sister-in-law of Grace members Ty and Kelsey Schulz. She is suffering from pancreatic and liver cancer. Above all pray that God keep her strong in the faith in Christ through all this.
-Pray for God’s guidance for Pastor Dave Reichert of Beaver Dam, WI, as he considers the call he is holding to Christ, Zumbrota; and pray for God’s guidance for Pastor Todd Engel of St. John’s, Red Wing, as he considers the call to our WELS congregation in Duluth.
Coming up:
-Funeral for LaVonne Scharpen is today at 10:30 a.m. at Grace; with visitation from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Burial at Grace cemetery after the service. Luncheon to follow at noon at Zumbrota VFW. The service will be livestreamed on our website: gracestpeters.org, and on our YouTube channel: Grace St Peters Goodhue.
-We have the usual summer worship schedule planned for this Sunday, with church at Grace at 8:30 a.m. and at St. Peter’s at 10:15 a.m. (There is also 4 p.m. Saturday Worship at St. John’s.)
We plan to honor our graduates at the service at Grace this Sunday and have a fellowship time with some treats after the service..
-Brewed Blessings is Monday, June 1 at 10 a.m. at St. Peter’s.
Looking ahead:
-Volksfest is coming up- Burrito Breakfast, car show and quilting at SP on Saturday, May 13; and Joint Worship Service Sunday at Goodhue Gym 1 at 9 a.m. (Guest Preacher Stephen Schmiel- Minnesota District Mission Board Chairman)
-Family VBS is coming up the evenings of June 16-18. Invite your friends of all ages to join us!
-There is still time for youth from just confirmed through High School ages to register for the YPS Rally that we are attending in late July. Contact Emily Raasch or myself if interested. We have 14 youth signed up so far, with a few more showing interest. We’d like to have all who are going signed up before June 1, if possible. If you sign up later you might have to find your own transportation.
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ fill your heart today and every day!
Your brother in Christ, Pastor Marty Weigand
