God’s Will: Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 92, G903
God’s Assures Us of Forgiveness: Heidelberg Catechism Q&A1, G861 (responsively)
Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
A. That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.

The Healing Path. Look for the Safe Church flyer in your mailslot today. There are various forms of abuse that affect all age groups.

Please take the time to read it and learn how justice and mercy, together, can create a path of healing.

Community Happenings
Kelli Heeringa, a senior at the Waupun Area High School, is organizing a blood drive for the American Red Cross to be held this Thursday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, at the Waupun Area High School. The goal is to save 90 lives through 30 donations. As Kelli points out, “A blood drive may not be giving money or a fancy community service project, but it is a huge help to communities in the area. It takes usually about 15 minutes or less to actually
donate.” Food and beverages will be offered after donating, along with free custard from Culvers and chances to win numerous prizes.

Restoration of broken relationships
America the Beautiful By Katharine Lee Bates
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
