Scripture Readings
Old Testament
ESV
Isaiah 66:12-14
12
For thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will
extend peace to her like a river, and the
glory of the nations like an overflowing
stream; and you shall nurse, you shall be
carried upon her hip, and bounced upon
her knees. 13 As one whom his mother
comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall
be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 You shall
see, and your heart shall rejoice; your
bones shall flourish like the grass; and
the hand of the LORD shall be known to
his servants, and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.
Epistle
715-524-3784
ESV
Galatians 6:1-10, 14-16
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should
restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep
watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone
thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each
one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and
not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to
bear his own load. 6 One who is taught
the word must share all good things with
the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever
one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the
one who sows to his own flesh will from
the flesh reap corruption, but the one who
sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap
eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of
doing good, for in due season we will
reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as
we have opportunity, let us do good to
everyone, and especially to those who
are of the household of faith.
14
But far be it from me to boast except in
the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
which the world has been crucified to me,
and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.16 And as for all
who walk by this rule, peace and mercy
be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God. 17 From now on let no one cause
me trouble, for I bear on my body the
marks of Jesus.18 The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers.
Amen.
Gospel
25
ESV
Matthew 11:25-30
At that time Jesus declared, "I thank
you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that you have hidden these things from
the wise and understanding and revealed
them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for
such was your gracious will.27 All things
have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except
the Father, and no one knows the Father
except the Son and anyone to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him.28 Come to
me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke
upon you, and learn from me, for I am
gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light."
Life Quote
“The
Declaration
of
Independence … claims …
the ultimate source of
authority by stating … they
were … ‘appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the World
for the rectitude of’ their
‘intentions’... The foundations
of our independence and our
Government
rests
upon
basic religious convictions.
Back of the authority of our
laws is the authority of the
Supreme Judge of the World,
to whom we still appeal. It
seems to me perfectly plain
that the authority of law, the
right to equality, liberty and
property, under American
institutions, have for their
foundation reverence for
God. If we could imagine that
to be swept away, these
institutions of our American
government could not long
survive.” President Calvin
Coolidge, September 21,
1924 – A “Life Quote” from

by Chip Ingram
Video Bible Study
"Beneath our tangible landscape lurks an invisible spiritual realm where unseen
battles rage. It's real. And it's
dangerous. If you are prepared to remove the blinders
and gaze into the unseen
world, Chip Ingram is ready
to take you there."

Recently we found out about
a
hassle-free
fundraiser
called Shoparoo.
All you
need to do is take pictures of
your grocery receipts with the
Shoparoo app made for your
smartphone.
It doesn’t
matter where you shop or
what you buy—every receipt
submitted results in a
donation to our school.
Receipts may come from any
store that sells groceries
such as convenience stores,
grocery
stores,
SAMS,
Market Day, etc.
So, what are you waiting
for? Simply download the
free app from Apple App
Store or the Google play
Store
by
searching
“shoparoo” and then select
our school as your chosen
cause. Since there is no limit
to how much money we can
raise with Shoparoo, be sure
to invite your friends and
neighbors to join in—every
receipt counts! If you don’t
have a SMART phone, we
can still use your receipts!
We have a container in the
office that we are using to
collect receipts that can be
scanned and will add to our
total donation. Thank you to
everyone who has joined
Shoparoo!
