Howdy, Ags!
Hope you had a blessed and fun Christmas/New Year's break. I am anxious for you all to be back. Just a few things to share with you as your vacation times draws to a close:

*Our Sunday Bible study and worship schedule resumes this Sunday, January 15. 
For Bible study this semester  (9:30 a.m.), we will be looking at a variety of topics, including what it means to bear fruit for Jesus; what the Bible says about death, resurrection, and eternal life; and possibly a study of the men known as the 12 apostles. This Sunday, and next (January 22), we will be watching a movie, "Walther," produced by Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, on the occasion of C.F.W. Walther's 200th birthday. For those who don't know, Walther was one of the founding fathers of our church body and a great man of God.

As always, our worship begins at 10:45 a.m. I will be preaching on the Gospel from John 1:43-51, "A Man without Guile." We will be celebrating the Lord's Supper.

*Rev. Charles (Carlos) Boerger will be at the Chapel for Sunday Night Supper on January 22, to share with us more details about spring break mission trip 2012 to Alpine, Texas, and to answer any questions you might have about the trip. Please prayerfully consider participating in what promises to be a great experience, serving others and growing closer to the Lord.  

*The LSF Progressive Dinner will be Friday, January 27, times and places to be announced. Watch for announcements from your officers. I can tell you that the final course will be at the Chapel, and will include a game night.

*Our winter/spring semester work day will begin at 10 a.m., Saturday, January 28. Please come and help keep the property that God has blessed us with looking great!

Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and see you this Sunday!

Peace,
Pastor Hoemann
