HYMN #84: Brightest and Best and the Stars of the Morning Postlude

Annoucnements: This week January 6-10 Pastor Kris will be attending a graduate seminar for continuing education at Trinity School for Ministry. Trinity is now home to our new NALC Seminary. The title of the seminar is, God Heals or Does He? A Study of the Healing of the Soul and Relapse. You can follow pastor on his blog http://caffeinatedlutheran.wordpress.com If there is an immediate pastoral care emergency please contact Pr. Marshall Hahn, St. Olaf Lutheran Parish, 563-980-9714 These past weeks we have recognized our New Life family and the talents and gifts they have contributed to our church. These next weeks the News Letter Staff would like to recognize those who have different needs and include them each week in our prayer concerns. Each week we will focus on one specific need such as depression, illness, financial, marital, family issues, and so many more. If you have a request, please let me know and I will put it on the list. An important mission for our church is prayer for those who are in a great need. By our prayer we can help all those near and far. This week I would like for us to focus on those suffering from depression. With the holidays behind us, this can be a difficult time for them. Let us pray for their peace of mind. Thank you to Denise Meyer and Darla Dralle for hosting our coffee this Sunday morning.
