LUTHERANS FOR LIFE
As you know we have a local pregnancy crisis center. Every year the beginning of October they have a Love First fundraising dinner gala. I was able to attend this event this year. It was very uplifting being in a room with over a hundred people celebrating life. The priest who emceed the event was very entertaining and the food was good but the best part had to be the testimonies individual people gave. One woman who had an abortion many years ago bravely talked about it for the first time in public at last year’s gala. She then attended a group after abortion retreat and talked this year about the benefits she received during the retreat and her thankfulness of the monetary support she received from someone at last year’s gala to pay for her attendance at the retreat. We had a past client who had an unexpected first pregnancy, tell us about the support she received and the baby now young man she brought into the world. She now has two other children and donates to the clinic as she is able to pay it forward. There was also a father who came to talk to thank everyone for the assistance he received with his babies. Very heartwarming. Trinity is going to have a fundraiser for the month of November to collect cleaning supplies or money for the purchase of cleaning supplies to donate to the pregnancy crisis center. These products are not usually covered by any type of assistance and are essential for healthy babies. Do not forget to do good and share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:16. Thank you for any donations. Chris Schulz

+SERVICE OF THE WORD+
Reformation Day (Observed)
Oct. 25, 2026

FIRST READING
Revelation 14:6–7

Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

EPISTLE
Romans 3:19–28

Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it — the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

GOSPEL
Matthew 11:12–19

[Jesus said:] “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,

“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

LUTHERANS FOR LIFE
Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month
Dr. Venerable Jerome Lejeune (b1926) was a French physician (1952) and a world renowned geneticist. He cared for “my little patients “ (children with Down syndrome) with dignity in an era of shame. In 1958, he discovered the extra copy of the 21st chromosome which he named Trisomy 21. The cause of Down syndrome. He wanted to find a cure. He was devastated when a prenatal test was developed to detect Trisomy 21. Knowing that this would be detrimental to his career, in 1969 during an award ceremony speech he told his colleagues that using medical technology for death would “ entirely change medicine itself.” He was ostracized by the scientific community. He however, was admired by pro-life and the Catholic scientific circles as an expert defending the dignity of the human person. He relied on his catholic faith and taught his children to “judge the act and not the person.” He died Easter Sunday 1994 without finding a cure. His family started a foundation and there are numerous international clinics dedicated to Down syndrome. Now prenatal screening for Down syndrome is routine and leads to many of these babies being aborted. Most of the medical issues associated with Down syndrome are treatable. These children are truly special and made in God’s image.

+SERVICE OF THE WORD+
Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 24A)
Oct. 18, 2026

OLD TESTAMENT
Isaiah 45:1–7

Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,
whose right hand I have grasped,
to subdue nations before him
and to loose the belts of kings,
to open doors before him
that gates may not be closed:
“I will go before you
and level the exalted places,
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron,
I will give you the treasures of darkness
and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.
For the sake of my servant Jacob,
and Israel my chosen,
I call you by your name,
I name you, though you do not know me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other,
besides me there is no God;
I equip you, though you do not know me,
that people may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is none besides me;
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I form light and create darkness,
I make well-being and create calamity,
I am the Lord, who does all these things.”

EPISTLE
1 Thessalonians 1:1–10

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace.

We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything. For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

GOSPEL
Matthew 22:15–22

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle [Jesus] in his talk. And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

LUTHERANS FOR LIFE
Have you ever heard the saying: Give them an inch and they will take a mile? Abortion started as only in r**e, in**st and mother’s health. In the US alone in 2025 we had over a million and worldwide seventy three million.
Legalize ma*****na for medical purposes. We now have pot shops within walking distance of each other. No medical card needed. Have you seen the latest news?
The Netherlands has confirmed they just euthanized a one year old. Yes, the baby had severe disabilities including brain damage, cerebral palsy and intractable epilepsy. But a one year old? The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize voluntary euthanasia. It started with adults, moved to twelve or older and finally in 2024, one year or older. All this just from April 2002. Yes, you have to get two doctors to agree you have unbearable or hopeless suffering with no prospect of improvement. Parental consent needed up to age fifteen. But they are not alone. Belgium also has no age limit. Switzerland, Luxembourg, Australia, Austria, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Columbia and Uruguay have some form of euthanasia and/or assisted su***de. By the way, we have eleven states and the District of Columbia who have “Death with Dignity”. You have to self-administer the medication, but Montana has doctor assisted. Is this following in the Bible? Are we not created in the image and likeness of God our creator? Genesis 1:27. Genesis 9:6.
