Citation preview
We gather today as God’s beloved children to worship our Heavenly Father. We praise his holy name, we listen eagerly for his words of comfort, hope, and challenge to us, and we offer ourselves to him in dedicated service. May you be blessed as you worship here today.
St. Paul Lutheran Church is a congrega-
tion of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (E.L.C.A.). It is referred to as “Borchers” since Rev. Henry Borchers, who served our congregation from 1857-1881, advised and influenced a small group of pioneer settlers that wanted to establish a congregation in the area. This year we celebrate 162 years of life and ministry in this beautiful country setting in Southern Indiana. We look forward to many more years of growth and change as we seek continually to be faithful to God’s call to mission.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is
offered at the 8:00 a.m. services on the 2nd
and 4th Sundays and at the 10:15 a.m. ser-
vice on the 1st and the 3
rd Sundays of the
month. Christians who believe in the true presence of Christ in the bread and wine for our forgiveness and salvation are invited to receive Holy Communion.

The purpose of this page is to provide a tool or instrument for your spiritual growth. This page contains a brief synopsis of the readings as well as some questions for your reflection to help you go deeper with the Word. On the back is a day by day listing of scripture readings with possible prayer request. Individuals are listed on their day of birth—so that you might pray for them on their birthday. Also on the back is the prayer list for the congregation. Keep on Growing Spiritually!!
Readings for the Day:
Acts 13:1-3; 14:8-18: Within the Early Church, others were set apart for various functions within the church. We hear of one of those individuals—Barnabas. Barnabas and Paul were together and healed a man who had never walked. The crowd began to say that they were gods. Quickly, Paul and Barnabas told the people they were not gods, but that there is one God who is the created of all.
Matthew 10:40-42: When Jesus sends his disciples out as missionaries, he warns them of persecution and hardship they will face. He also promises to reward any who aid his followers and support their ministry.

Questions To Ponder: 1—Who is Barnabas? 2—Why were others set apart for the mission of God? 3—Why did the people think Barnabas and Paul were gods? 4—What did Paul emphasize about God to this group of people? 5—How does this text speak to you today?
