I have heard such great things about your experience thus far with the American Gospel Documentary! As we get into the 2nd video, we are going to be diving into some much deeper theology and Christian doctrine that is essential for every Christian to know and be able to articulate. I can’t wait to continue to engage with you on this incredible series. This is good stuff! If you are in a Connect 3 small group, then you should have already received an email not only with this months curriculum but also two other important articles associated with this month’s study. For those of you in small groups, you should have already received the curriculum. If you are not in a small group, please join one so you don’t miss this incredible documentary series and study! Blessings on your fellowship! CONTACT PASTOR JAY |

Kuntz Family Meal TrainMrs. Kuntz continues to battle Clear Cell Kidney Carcinoma. It has continued to regress and spread at different times throughout her journey. As many of you know in 2018 she broke her femur and she had to have a plate placed to stabilize the break. Recently the plate broke and she had to have another surgery to remove the broken plate, replace it and provide greater stability to that area of the bone. She is home now but has a lot of rehabilitation and therapy ahead of her. We would like to bless the family with a meal 4 times per week. Feel free to bless them with breakfast, lunch or dinner. We continue to lift Cindy, Chuck and their family up in our prayers. We hope she can return to working with the Concordia Academy students next fall. We know they are anxious to see her!

Verse of the Week: Quote of the Week: Fun Fact of the Week: |
This Week: More connecting of Men to Jesus to become the man God has called us to be.Our current study is called Man Up!.What does it mean to be a man? Sacrifice. Man Up! doesn’t tell you to take down the feminists or reclaim your God-given role and rights. Real masculinity starts with the giving of yourself for the good of those around you and in your care. It’s counter-cultural – and it’s exactly how God designed biblical manhood.Let’s start the year by sharpening some iron!!“As Iron Sharpens Iron, Men Sharpen Men!” St. Mark Band of Brothers: Raising up men to be warriors and disciples for Christ… for their families… as single men… in their workplaces… and in their community! All men and high school aged boys are welcome to join the St. Mark Band of Brothers on Saturday Mornings at 9 am in the St. Mark Youth Room. Join us as we work to center our lives around God’s Word to be the man God is calling us to be. To request the Band of Brothers weekly updates and study guides contact Jack Swanda at jswanda@cox.net. |
