First
Presbyterian Calendar for August
LINCOLN CHRISTIAN CHURCH
204 N. McLean Street
Kids Worship - August
Wisdom is something we can’t order from Amazon or go
to the mall and buy. It’s not something that someone can wrap up in
a tidy gift box and present to us! Sometimes wisdom seems pretty
elusive, but the Bible is clear that wisdom is something we can
gain. None of us will likely become “Solomon-like” overnight. Wisdom
has to be cultivated and nurtured. Solomon said it this way: “Let
the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser” (Proverbs
1:5). And Jesus said, “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows
it is wise” (Matthew 7:24). Wisdom is a gift, but not one that can
be purchased. We have to grow it in our lives. During the month of
August, our kids will have the opportunity to discover that when
head and heart knowledge become hand and feet knowledge, that’s when
real wisdom is being practiced. We hope you can join us as we grow
in wisdom together!
Our key verse for this month is Proverbs 2:6. Moms and Dads, if you
would like to talk with your kids about our study, the topics are
listed below.
The Beginning of Wisdom. Proverbs 1:1–7. We respect God to become
wise.
God Talks to Solomon. 1 Kings 3:5–15; Proverbs 3:14–15. We ask God
for wisdom.
Solomon’s Wisdom. 1 Kings 4:29–34. We use the wisdom God gives us.
The Wise and Foolish Builders. Matthew 7:24–29; Proverbs 24:3. We
show wisdom by following Jesus.

Grace Lutheran Church joins
Lutheran Military Support Group
GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH, 201 S. College St., Lincoln, IL has formed a
local chapter of the Lutheran Military Support Group (LMSG).
“This is a lay-led group of military people who want to serve the
men and women of the United States military, Veterans and their
families,” explains Clarence Mankin, Atlanta who is a member of
Grace and the liaison for the local LMSG chapter.
LMSG is a national non-profit organization made up of more than 350
congregations that are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS)
and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Formed by
veterans, LMSG is designed to connect and share Christian fellowship
and support with all military men and women and their families.
Since its formation in 2015, LMSG has approved grants that
contributed thousands of dollars toward local congregations to
support and thank men, women and their families.
“Our local congregation is pleased to be part of this network of
Christians who are deeply interested in serving our military,” says
Mankin. “We look forward to working in the (city) area through
events and spiritual support.”

Grace Lutheran Church, formed in 2013, is part of ELS and currently
has 41 members. The congregation is served by Rev. Daniel McQuality
