Today’s Prayer

Today Living Water welcomes Myles Zelechowski into communion membership through confirmation. Let us all join in prayer that Myles will always remain as close to the LORD as he was on this confirmation day. Psalm 91:14-16 is a good psalm to pray for Myles, for any confirmand, or for any person you would like to lift up in prayer. Try inserting a person's name where there are italics below:

“Because he psalm loves me “says the Lord,” I will rescue him I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. With a long life will I satisfy him And show him my salvation.”

 

Confirmation

We wish God's blessings on our confirmands this year, Myles Zelechowski and Kalina Kwiatkowski! Kalina, who attends Christ Lutheran School, was confirmed earlier with her classmates in Big Bend. We welcome both as communicant members of our congregation. The congregation is invited to fellowship right after the service that celebrates today's confirmation. An abbreviated Bible class will follow, taking a look at Martin Luther's Small Catechism. May we at Living Water be a blessing to Myles and Kalina as they continue to grow in their faith!

 

Upcoming Worship Schedule

Holy Communion will not be celebrated today, but will be celebrated on Sunday, May 26.  There will not be worship next Monday, May 27 due to Memorial Day.

 

Summer Bible Class

Our summer series for Sunday morning Bible class begins on May 26. These classes are designed to be shorter (around 30 minutes), and the content is structured so that entire families can attend, from children to great-grandparents. We'll review key characters and accounts from the Old Testament, better understanding God's salvation history and applying these accounts to our modern lives. If you don't regularly attend Bible class, this is a great way to try it out! There is never any pressure to read or talk out loud; just grab a drink and snacks and sit with us as we find answers in God's Word.
