WELCOME TO PEACE WITH CHRIST

LUTHERAN CHURCH!

We give thanks to God that you are joining us today!

Many of our guests are seeking a home church where they
can be part of the Fellowship of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace with Christ is a congregation that is a family not an
“organization”. We are small enough to allow people to
know each other by name, and yet large enough to offer
opportunities for growth and service. What we “specialize”
in is not programs or productions, but simply The Gospel
of Our Lord Jesus. Christ, His Word, and the Cross are
what provide the foundation for faith and ministry. If you
are interested in learning more about Peace With Christ
Lutheran Church, please call the church office at 226-4721.
Pastor Patrick would welcome the opportunity to visit with
you personally.
 You are my hiding place.
You shall preserve me from trouble.
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Psalm 32:7

THE TIME before the service may be used for prayer and
preparation. Read through the worship bulletin and familiarize
yourself with the service. A few moments spent this way will help
make the service more meaningful.

NEXT WEEK’S LUTHERAN HOUR MESSAGE:

Phase one of the chancel remodel is near completion.
The cost of phase one has been approximately
$16,000.00.

During construction we learned the ceiling was dam-

aged due to last year’s lighting strike. The repairs have
been completed. It was decided during this time that
from a practical and financial stand point that we pre-
pared for the ceiling lights. Congregational feedback
has determined phase two will be lighting, carpeting,
and chancel furniture. The cost will be approximately
$21,000.00. The breakdown is as follows:
1. Lights: $3,852.32
2. Carpeting: estimate $8,400.00-9,000.00
3. Chancel furniture: estimate $9,000.00. There has
been a donation of $1,100.00 to the furniture.

There will be poster boards in the narthex to keep the

congregation informed of phase two’s financial status as
donations are received.

We want to thank the committee members and volun-

teers who have donated their time, supplies, and materi-
als. Also, we want to thank the congregation for their
prayers and financial support.
Please continue to keep the chancel remodel in your
prayers and prayerfully consider making a financial do-
nation to the “PWC chancel remodel.”

 A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORD
THE LARGE CATECHISM, PART I
THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT
TWELFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

God commands this order to be kept, that you obey me as

your father, and that I have the supremacy.

Learn what is the honor towards parents that this command-

ment requires. We must serve them, help them, and provide
for them when they are old, sick, infirm, or poor. We must do
all this not only gladly, but with humility and reverence, as do-
ing it before God. For the child who knows how to regard par-
ents in his heart will not allow them to do without, but will
share with them whatever he possesses.

Second, notice how holy a work is assigned to children here.

Unfortunately, this is disregarded. No one notices that God has
commanded it or that it is a holy, divine doctrine. For if it had
been regarded as holy, everyone who lives according to these
words must be holy people. There would have been no need to
invent monasticism or spiritual orders. Every child would have
said, "If I am to do good and holy works, I know of none bet-
ter than to give all honor and obedience to my parents, be-
cause God has Himself commanded it. For what God com-
mands must be much better and far nobler than everything
that we may come up with ourselves. Since there is no higher
or better teacher to be found than God, there can certainly be
no better teaching than what He provides. If, then, it is God
who commands this, I will never improve upon it." (paragraphs
108-109, 111-113)

Fan into Flame — August 16-31

The Fan into Flame campaign aims to raise $100 million for new
mission work around the United States and throughout the world.
Its structure is based on Acts 1:8, in which Jesus promises His
followers, “You will bear witness . . . in Jerusalem, in Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Nearly 850 LCMS con-
gregations have participated in the campaign thus far.

Daily Prayers:

Sunday: Asking God to provide continued support through Fan into

Flame for start-up funding for new missionaries, so that more servants
may be called and sent with the Gospel to all corners of the earth.
These funds have already prepared eight missionary families for inter-
national service.
Monday: For the establishment of expansion of seminaries in Africa,
Asia, Eurasia, and Latin America. Many of Fan into Flame’s “ends of
the earth” projects fall in to this category. Pray that these places of
learning would train many leaders to clearly teach and proclaim the
Gospel in their regions.

Tuesday: For the work of outreach centers, another focus of Fan into
Flame “ends of the earth” funding. These include mobile Mission
Training Centers in East Africa and ministry centers in German, Latvia,
and Russia.

Wednesday: That the Holy Spirit would build up faith in the

people who hear God’s Work through the construction of new
churches in India - another “ends of the earth” project that con-
gregations and individuals can sponsor.

Thursday: For the work done through “Jerusalem” funds that are re-
turned to each congregation that contributes to Fan into Flame - may
the Lord bless the outreach efforts that are carried out by these congre-
gations with this support.

Friday: For the “Samaria” work of Fan into Flame, which is out-
reach via one-on-one faith sharing, church planting, and congregational
revitalization and transformation. These initiatives are being led by
LCMS World Mission’s National Mission Team.

Saturday: With thanksgiving for the LCMS districts that have com-
pleted the initial period of their Fan into Flame campaigns. Give
thanks for the generous gifts and participation of these districts: Atlan-
tic, California-Nevada-Hawaii, English, Kansas, Minnesota South, Mis-
souri, New Jersey, North Dakota, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma, SELC,
South Wisconsin, Southern, Southeastern, and Texas.
