Pastor Stevens …..  Our congregation at Faith Sullivan is taking a good will love offering to assist with funeral and ongoing expenses for Leesl and Bethany.   We would like to invite anyone interested in blessing Pastor Stevens’ family with a financial gift to send that to our congregation by November 1.  Checks should be made payable to Faith Lutheran Church, State Hwy 32, P.O. Box 109, Sullivan, IL 61951.  Please note Pastor Stevens’ name on the envelope and the checks memo line.  We will gather the gifts and forward them to Leesl and Bethany as one check on behalf of all who contribute.

Life Quote

 October 25 “I pray that the love of Christ emboldens you to rejoice in the Word and to speak it without fear of consequence … may future generations speak of us like we do of David, Josiah, Luther, and our forefathers. May our children say of you and me, ‘Our forefathers stood their ground on Christ alone, on His Word of truth alone.’ The truth has set you free. Enjoy your own personal reformation. Then let your freedom in Christ be contagious! Let your life continue to shout: Thank Jesus Christ my Savior! I’m free at last … and so are you! Amen.” Rev. Peter Sulzle, St. John Lutheran Church, Redwood Falls, Minnesota – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
