First Presbyterian Calendar for October


GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

201 South College St., Lincoln
NEW BUILDING DEDICATION & OPENING

Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 10:30am.

 

 Grace Lutheran Church, has moved into their new Church Building and will have a Church Dedication Service on Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 10:30am.

Grace Lutheran Church was established and formed as a mission Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS) in 2013. Grace has been active specifically in outreach to veterans, and those in the Lincoln area suffering various addictions. The group formerly had been meeting at the Maple Club but acquired the Lincoln Hill Church in August of this year. They have restored and improved the building, making it wheelchair accessible, and restoring the building to a more modern look and design.

The Opening and Dedication coincides with the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation in which Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the Church door in Wittenberg and began reformation in the Church, as well as marks the 100th Anniversary of the ELS. These events will also be celebrated during the Service. The community is invited to worship and share in this celebratory Service and to share in the dessert and cake reception that will follow.

The Congregation is served by Rev. Daniel McQuality. To learn more about the work and mission of Grace, visit www.gracelutheranlincoln.com.

KIDS WORSHIP

October 2017 Vertical Edge—

Working for God

A good work ethic! It’s something employers look for in a good employee. Certainly as adults we would want others to say we work hard. And conversely, we would not
want others to say that we sure don’t do much toward our job. The same is true of the job we take on as disciple makers when we become a Christian. We should want others to know that we take the command Jesus gave us to “go and make disciples” seriously enough to work diligently. I’m reminded of something I once read that said, “all God work is good work, but it is still work.” The series our kids will be in during our Kids Worship time in October will focus on working for God. Our key verse is Colossians 3:23; “Work willingly at whatever you do.” Through this series our goal is to help kids learn the privilege and joy of serving our Lord well. Parents, if you would like to review what we study with your kids, the titles and texts are below, and the main point is listed in italics.


•Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall. Nehemiah 2:11–20.
We honor God with our work.
•Joseph Becomes a Ruler of Egypt. Genesis 41; 37-57; 45:3–8.
We work where God puts us.
•The Parable of the Three Servants. Matthew 25:14–20.
We use our talents for God.
•Paul Presses On to the Goal. Acts 16:16–34; Philippians 3:12–21.
Our goal is to be like Jesus.
