We re on the web! The annual Bismarck/Mandan CROP Walk for Hunger is 1:30 P.M.

Individuals may choose to walk a shorter route (about 1 mile) or a longer route (about 4 miles). Registration, music, and games for kids will be held at 12:30 P.M. at the Capitol Grounds that same day. Any questions can be directed to Corby Rachel, Faye Rodgers, the church office, or check the information out on Facebook at CROP walk, Bismarck. Donation envelopes are available in the narthex.

Jack Carlson Associate Pastor Rev. Christina Martin Administrative Assistant & Coordinator of Lay Ministries Jackie Schulz (o) (h) Custodians Ron & Mavis Watson Financial Administration Jennifer Scheet First Lutheran Is A Mission Partner with Camp of the Cross Ministries Fall reminds us of change. One season to another. Starting school. The death of a loved one. Welcoming a new Pastor. Change. Our feelings are involved with change. If we think about it, some changes bring joy, excitement, others bring pain, and still others bring both joy and pain. Change. It is something that none of us can escape. Change leaves me feeling out of control and anxious. As you can imagine, my transition from Indiana, to Iowa, to North Dakota was filled with change. In fact the last 9 years of my life have been spent in transition. It seems some times that my life consists of nothing but change. So when I am feeling lost, out of control, and anxious I turn to the resurrection story found in the Gospel of Luke. Luke 24: While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." 37 They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38 He said to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." These words from Luke hit home for me. Jesus says to the unbelieving disciples Peace be with you. It is here in the midst of my out of control, anxious feelings Jesus speaks Peace be with you. Don t you know that am real, flesh and blood, given for you. Don t be afraid I am with you. Do I still get anxious and feel out of control, YES! Yet, I know that I am not in it alone. The resurrected Christ is in it with me speaking into my heart, Peace be with you. Peace of the Risen Christ be with you all! Pastor Chris

Financial Report/Review: Pastor Lee went over the July financials. We have a deficit of $ of expenses over income through July, 2013 compared with a deficit of $19, through the same period in 2012, a marked improvement. However, much of this is due to the fact that we are understaffed at the present time compared with last year.
