Stewardship Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall
receive mercy.” This is one of many Bible passages that remind us that we
reap what we sow. Likewise, what God puts into us (His own love, mercy,
kindness, and generosity) – flows back out of us. For it all starts with His
self-giving!

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
November 1 & 2, 2014
Psalm 122:1
The mission of Zion Lutheran
is to better know & show Christ’s love.
Our Mission On All Saints Day we remember how those who have gone
before us knew and showed Christ’s love. They helped us to better know
Christ’s love by giving us a living, breathing example of faith in action. As we think of those who have reflected Christ’s perfect love to us,
may we also seek to reflect that same love to others.
Prayer Requests are always welcome. To have someone included in our
prayers during worship please call the church office or write out the request and give it to a Pastor prior to the service.
Valet Parking is available for those who need it. Let the Elder at the east
door know. He will park your car for you, and bring it back after worship.
Zion’s Web Site: www.zionbeaver.com The website contains the most
recent church newsletter, and information about Zion’s ministries.
Large Print Bulletins are available from an usher. These bulletins may
also be helpful to our guests since they allow following the service without using a hymnal.
Our focus today is on All Saints’ Day. Today the Christian Church
remembers those believers who have gone before us. We give thanks to
God for their lives of faith. They are alive with God forever. We also
remember that we are living saints today. Through baptism and faith in
Jesus, we are living saints who worship and serve the one true God.

First John. There will be no Sunday morning class due to the Voters’ Meeting.
Our Zion church family has shown Christ’s love by sharing $2,057 of their
resources with the Dominowski family to help them during this trying
time. Due to your generosity, Thrivent Financial will also be giving them an
additional $1,000. Thanks to everyone who participated in this
Sunday School: This week in Sunday School students will
study, “Abraham’s Visitors from Heaven.” While Abraham
received his visitors graciously, they brought more grace to
him than he and Sarah could imagine. As a family discuss,
“How does God brings us more grace than we can imagine or
expect?”
