Alleluia. My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them and they follow me. Alleluia. (John 10:27)

Sunday, October 1 - Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost:

Jesus’ parable about two sons who don’t do what they say reveals surprises in the reign of God. In the reading from Ezekiel the people claim the ways of the Lord are unfair, while God offers repentance and new life. Paul urges us to look to Christ as a model of humility, putting the interests of others above our own. Nourished by the broken bread and shared cup, we offer our lives for the sake of our needy world.

Lutheran Disaster Response is providing relief support for those affected by the Hawaii Wildfires. If you would like to support this effort, please make your gift payable to “Grace Lutheran Church” and indicate in a memo that it is for “Hawaii Wildfires”.

Each Sunday, Offerings are collected in a basket at the entrance to the sanctuary. You may also mail your offerings to the church or donate on-line through our website at Grace Lutheran Church (online giving) or scan the QR code below:

The Stewardship Committee has been sharing brief videos about God's faithfulness to and through Grace. A video in July about worship at Grace, in August about our community service at the food pantry, and this month we are lifting up the ministry at Grace of Christian education and spiritual formation. Through these videos and the reflection embedded in them, Grace is growing and deepening in the joy of sharing God's goodness, of letting "this little light" shine!
