WEEK OF AUGUST 2, 2026 - The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost

August 01, 2026


LAST WEEK'S WORD FROM THE CATECHISM

What do you believe according to these words? I BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE CALLED MINISTERS OF CHRIST DEAL WITH US BY HIS DIVINE COMMAND, IN PARTICULAR WHEN THEY EXCLUDE OPENLY IMPENITENT SINNERS FROM THE CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION AND ABSOLVE THOSE WHO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND WANT TO DO BETTER, THIS IS JUST AS VALID AND CERTAIN, EVEN IN HEAVEN, AS IF CHRIST OUR DEAR LORD DEALT WITH US HIMSELF. BIBLE VERSE: “Repent, therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3;19-20a).

THIS WEEK'S WORD FROM THE CATECHISM

What is the Sacrament of the Altar? IT IS THE TRUE BODY AND BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNDER THE BREAD AND WINE, INSTITUTED BY CHRIST HIMSELF, FOR US CHRISTIANS TO EAT AND TO DRINK. BIBLE VERSE: “Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said, ’Take, eat, this is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me’” (compiled from Matthew 26:26-8; Mark 14:22-24; and Luke 22:19-21).

FOR THE WEEK

LUTHERANS FOR LIFE PENTECOST 10.

Our God is the Lord and Giver of life! “Come … incline your ear to me, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live” (Isaiah 55:3)! “He who gives food to all flesh, for His steadfast love endures forever” (Psalm 136:25) also gives nourishment to every born and preborn life He knits together fearfully and wonderfully. Even while I “have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart” (Romans 9:2) over the spiritually lost and the violence of abortion and euthanasia, we continue to eat and be satisfied (Matthew 14:20) from Jesus Christ, our Bread of
Life.

MEN’S BREAKFAST & FELLOWSHIP THIS SATURDAY, 9:30 AM.

We’re meeting early this month, because of the scheduled meeting of our leaders with Living hope on the 15th, and Pastor Knill is out of town on the 22nd and just returning before the 29th.
