A reminder about the joint service this Sunday, 10:30 at Jolee and Ron Berneking's, 16183 County Road 96, SW, Kensington, with pot luck to follow. Bring a dish to share and please include a serving piece if needed. Plates, utensils, cups, napkins, coffee and lemonade will be furnished. Bring a chair and, given the weather prediction, maybe a blanket! Dale Anderson will again provide transportation down the hill via tractor and hay wagon. In case of rain, the service will be moved to Oscar Lake church. Looking forward to sharing this special service with everyone!

Prayer of Remembrance for Patriots Day

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter through every storm, and our eternal home:

We come before You remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Though many years have passed, the sorrow of that day still lingers in the hearts of families, friends and a grieving nation.

Lord, comfort those who continue to carry loss. Grant peace to the brokenhearted, strength to the weary and light to those walking through seasons of grief. Let Your presence bring hope where memories still ache.

Teach us to care for one another with compassion and courage. Help us to be a people who offer kindness to the hurting, encouragement to the discouraged and justice to those who suffer. Stir our hearts to live with mercy, humility and love for our neighbors.

Forgive us when our words are greater than our actions. May we strive each day to reflect the values of faith, unity and grace that honor You and strengthen our communities.

Thank You, Lord, for Your constant care and unfailing mercy. Even in tragedy, You remain our refuge and our hope.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Labor Day: Honoring Work and Rest

Labor Day gives us an opportunity to honor the work of our hands and the many ways people serve their families, churches and communities. As we pause from our usual routines, may we give thanks for meaningful work, remember those seeking employment and receive God’s gift of renewing rest.
