More joy than guilt!
Being a Christian doesn’t mean there is a long list of do’s and don’t’s you have to follow. It means living for someone greater than yourself who has put you on a path to peace. Let us show you the way. – Pastor Fred Guldberg

It was three weeks in the making, but it finally happened! The congregational meeting was pushed back two Sundays due to winter weather. We spent some time detailing the upcoming plans for our ministry. There was some time spent talking about the work that needs to happen on the pews as well.
We will offer an Ash Wednesday worship service complete with FREE ASHES. Yes, that’s right, the ashes are free this year (and every year). If you’re not sure about ashes being shmeared on your forehead know that Star of Bethlehem offers a self-imposition of ashes. It is a completely optional tradition.
How can joy be completed? John describes this as his goal in his first letter. The Apostle John was known as the disciple whom Jesus loved. John was inspired to write a biography of Jesus and a Revelation that offers visions of heaven itself and the end of the world. For this Bible study we will focus on the three letters John wrote to the ancient church.
We’ll offer a food pantry every Sunday from 9 AM to noon. The food will be placed on a table in our car port to minimize contact. Thank you to the members of our church and community who donate food.
Due to the snow storm we will not offer our early Zoom Bible study. It’s the start of a New Year and everyone is look for some good advice. What better place to look than the Bible? God has inspired (literally breathed in his very words) the authors of this book with some awesome wisdom. In this class we’ll look at a few common topics that come up and see what wisdom our God has for us!
From the Great Commission to administering the Sacraments. Is Jesus the second Moses? There are many who look at Jesus’ commands and see him as the second Law Giver – just like Moses. We’ll take a closer look at Jesus’ instruction in the gospels and see if there is a difference in what he instructs us to do compared to the rest of Scripture.
If you could gain the whole world, would you give up your soul? That’s a pretty easy question to answer for the veteran Christian. There is nothing more important than our soul. Where we spend eternity is far more important than anything else in life.
Temptation comes in all shapes and sizes and yours might be different than mine. Satan knows where we are the weakest and won’t hesitate to float a temptation right in front of our noses.
Can you repent now? That’s a loaded question, isn’t it. It assumes that 1) you’re sinful. 2) That you want to repent in the first place.
