Sunday, October 2, 2022 ~ Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. ~ 17th Sunday after Pentecost. A little faith goes a long way is Jesus’ point in the Gospel. A mustard seed’s-worth of faith has miraculous potential. The patience, tenacity, and endurance required for the life of faith are the blessings received in Holy Baptism, Holy Communion, and the Word read and proclaimed in this assembly. Anticipate them. Receive them with thanksgiving.

Sunday, October 9, 2022 ~ Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. ~ 18th Sunday after Pentecost. It’s a miracle! Multiple miracles! The waters of Holy Baptism have healed us. The body and blood of Jesus in Holy Communion have made us clean. We have died with Christ and been raised with Him. For all this we have returned to offer thanks. From this place we are sent on our way rejoicing to share the Good News.

Sunday, October 23, 2022 ~ Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. ~ 20th Sunday after Pentecost. Genuine repentance and pretentious piety stand in stark contrast in the Gospel and all around us. All creation stands in need of God’s forgiveness. Keep the faith. God’s people shall be accounted righteous for Jesus’ sake. Our God is merciful to sinners. For this we worship and glorify God forever.

Sunday, October 30, 2022 ~ Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. ~ Reformation Sunday. Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever-changing world. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life-transforming work. Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission.
Church members are invited to wear RED on this day of celebration!

​​May the beauty of God be reflected in your eyes, the love of God be
reflected in your hands, the wisdom of God be reflected in your words,
and the knowledge of God flow from your heart,

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
God, the creator, Jesus, the Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the comforter,
bless you and keep you in eternal love.
The members of New Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church wish you a blessed day and we pray that your day is filled with hope, love, peace, and good health!
