LIFE SUNDAY MOVIE
Sunday, January 26 at 12:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall
As we celebrate God’s gift of life, we would like to invite the congregation to see a film called “A Matter of Life” about abortion. Due to the graphic nature of the content, we recommend ages 17 or older. The Matter of Life compels us to understand the pro-life case and form our own individual beliefs based on more that what is said in the media. In the film, we hear from the experts and learn about the history, philosophy, morality, and impact of abortion. Pastor will show a short segment of this film in his Bible class. We would like to have an idea of who will be attending, please sign up in the Narthex as lunch will be provided. If you have any questions, please contact Jackie Mullen @ 405-863-8500.

A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FROM THE TRUSTEES
We Lutherans hold that God gifts us talents, time and treasures for the benefit of others. Put simply as to talent, this is Luther’s concept of vocation: we use what we are trained in, our occupation, not only to provide for family and home; it is also for the benefit of others as a Christian witness.
I find many people fail to recognize that God wants them to actively serve in the congregation as to the gift He has bestowed on His people. For example, in my case, I am gifted and trained in contract administration, management and vendor relations. I use this gift in retirement to be the head trustee of our congregation, making sure we are thrifty in our spending, keeping oversight on vendors and in development plans for workdays.
We have a licensed electrician in our congregation who donates his services for our major electrical work. We have a licensed plumber in our congregation who donates his services for plumbing issues and maintenance. Our organist doubles as our sound technician. Our trustees are a combination of skills and talents dedicated to serving the congregation through facilities management and improvement.
As this New Year approaches, consider what is or was your occupation: management, education, hospitality, customer service, artist . . . so many gifts bestowed by God to serve in our congregation.
The extra bonus, being in fellowship with other members of our congregation as we serve the Gospel.
In Christ,
Joel Anderson,
Head Trustee
