This Week at Mt. Olive

Good evening, fellow redeemed!

The ministry of angels - this Tuesday being St. Michael and All Angels Day - brings more speculation than anything. Throughout Holy Scripture, we see that the ministry of angels is the ministry of the God of Israel. Never slumbering, always watching over (Psalm 121), bearing up God's people from harm (Psalm 91), fighting against the devil and his angels (Revelation 12), bearing the souls of God's people to rest in their Lord's presence (Luke 16). Instead of speculation, let's rejoice in the ministry of God's angels, graciously provided because of His great love in Christ.

This coming Sunday at Mt. Olive resumes the regular worship schedule - 8 and 10:30 a.m. with Sunday School and Adult Bible Class at 9:15 a.m. This Sunday also celebrates the ministry of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. The original mission organization in the LCMS, for many years the LWML as it's known has supported mission endeavors at home and abroad. In many places, prison ministry happens because of the contributions of the LWML. Seminary students, foreign and domestic missionaries, as well as organized mission endeavors receive needed support from the LWML.

Along with LWML Sunday in October comes the Fall Zone Rally at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bishop, beginning at 2 p.m.

Wednesday night there will be a rehearsal for Guitar Worship (in October) from 7-8 p.m.
