Generosity Moment - Luke 16:8 “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.” The sons of this world know that they should use their wealth wisely to provide for their future. Shouldn’t we “sons of light” know that the wealth God has allowed us to manage should be managed for God’s purposes in roles He has given us to play in Church, home, and society? How is that reflected in what we gave today?
Join us for Sunday School beginning September 25th – Journey with the Old Testament Israelites as they are led by the judges and their first king in their struggles to remain faithful to God. Discover how our lives today are similar to that of the Old Testament Israelites. All children Pre-K through 8th grade are invited to attend Sunday School at the Central Site at 9:15am in the school’s band room. Don’t miss out on the four M’s of Sunday School this year – MUSIC, MISSIONS, MEMORY VERSES and MESSAGE (Bible Story)!!

The Foundation Fund directors manage an account from which interest earned is available for active St. Paul Lutheran families who have a student(s) enrolled in Rockford Lutheran High School. The account has received memorials in honor of saints who are now in the Church Triumphant, as well as gifts from other supporters of Lutheran High School. If you have a high school student at Lutheran, please contact Steve Hartenberger at 968-2089 or hrtnbrgr@comcast.net by September 30, 2016. We will send a check to the school and evenly allocate the available funds to each student’s tuition shortly after the deadline.
