12th Sunday after Pentecost - August 31, 2025

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
12th Sunday after Pentecost
August 31, 2025

A place to call home: St. Mark's Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark's. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God's grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus:  Life isn’t always easy here. And it isn’t hard for friction to happen between people. 
If it keeps happening, it can start causing pain, and then start creating bitterness. And when 
bitterness has built up, a single spark can cause an explosion. There is a joy we are given as a gift 
through Jesus. This means we can rejoice together no matter how hard things get. This joy can help 
us live together with other imperfect people like us. And this is so important… because those who 
will spend an eternity in joyful unity might as well start living in that joy now. Life is just better that 
way. So let’s focus on the good gifts God has given us, and let that overflow with joy into not only 
our lives, but the lives of those around us.
