GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH(Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod)

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSASNovember 11, 2012

THE TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

PRAYER UPON ENTERING CHURCH

O Lord, how can I thank You for all Your loving kindness, for patiently bearing with me in

my sinful blindness? I will come before You with a contrite heart, repenting of my sins and receivingYour certain assurance of sins forgiven. I will, with Your Holy Spirits help and guiding, strive to livemy life in conformity with Your will, rejoicing in my salvation and using my gifts in service to Youand Your church. Grant this Lord, for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ. In His holy name. Amen

WELCOME

Welcome to Grace! We are a family of believers dedicated to sharing the Good News of

salvation in Jesus Christ. We believe and confess that this is done as the Means of Grace, Gods Wordand Sacraments are shared and administered in their truth and purity. Living as His people we bearwitness to His love and mercy shown to us and to all. We recognize that others will know that we areChristians by our love shared in word and deed which is our response to His love for us. If you arevisiting it is our prayer that you will realize these things about us as Gods people gathered in this

place. If you wish to learn more about our teachings as drawn from Gods Word please speak withour Pastor. We are glad you are here and we invite you to come and worship with us again.

We ask that everyone fill out an attendance registration card found at each pew and return itto an Usher as the Offering is collected. Children are welcome in our Service and will be invited tocome forward for a Childrens Message. Parents may accompany them if they wish. We have astaffed nursery facility for infants and toddlers located downstairs in this building for anyone who hasneed. Restroom facilities are located downstairs as well as on this floor level across the bridge beforeentering the fellowship hall. If you have any questions, please speak with an usher or greeter.

HOLY COMMUNION

Holy Communion will be celebrated in our 8:15 Service today. In this sacrament we receiveChrists very body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. Those who are not members of Grace areasked to speak with our Pastor before partaking of this sacrament so that the unity of faith might beestablished. Thank you for honoring this request.

AS WE GATHER

It was the greater giving of the poor widow which Jesus pointed out to His disciples in

todays Gospel. Certainly there were those who had given more in sum, but she gave everything shehad. The Psalmist asks, and we sing in our liturgy, What shall I render to the Lord for all His

benefits to me? We really need to ask ourselves that question in light of what we put in the offering

plate and how we seek to use our time and talent in service to the Lord and His Church. Yet all of thatflows from our sacrifice of thanksgiving and our recognition that all that we have is a gift from Him.

TODAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOL Saul Becomes King was the Sunday School lessonfor today. Students learned that though God lets us have our own way at times, His is theway of forgiving and saving, which He did for His people of old and for us today.Consider asking, How did God care for the children of Israel even though their desires

were sinful? How does God show His care for us even though we are sinful?
