			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.”

			Kids Worship 
			  
			Obedience doesn’t come easy! During the month of July 
			our kids will look at the struggles people in the Bible had with 
			obedience and examine their own struggles to always do what is 
			right! From the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines, 
			to the opposition Jesus faced, to the conflicts kids face today, we 
			will search the Bible for how we can live godly lives obeying God 
			every step of the way! Kids will have the opportunity to see how the 
			Ten Commandments are a relevant guide for their lives each and every 
			day! Our key verse for this month is Deuteronomy 5:32, “Obey All God’s 
			commands.” Moms and Dads, if you would like to talk with your kids 
			about our study the topics are listed below.
 
 • The Philistines Capture the Ark. 1 Samuel 5:1–5. We know God is 
			the only god.
 
 • Jesus Heals on the Sabbath. Mark 3:1–5. We set aside a day for 
			God.
 
 • The Parable of Two Sons. Matthew 21:28–32. We honor God by obeying 
			our parents.
 
 • People Lie About Jesus. Mark 14:53–65. We tell the truth no matter 
			what.
 
 • Nathan Give’s David a Message From God. 2 Samuel 12:1–6. We’re 
			content with what God gives us.
