26 June 2020 *Commemoration of the Prophet Jeremiah*

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

*SUNDAY – TRINITY 3 – “The Sunday of the Lost Sheep”*
Lost sheep, yes; but it’s also the Sunday of the lost coin and the lost son. That last parable you know quite well under a different name: the *Prodigal *Son. But like the sheep and the coin, the story is less about the trouble one gets into while lost than it is about the Father, who seeks and saves the lost. This week we are given to see into the heart of God’s love and compassion for you. And there are no lengths too far for Him to cut short His mission to save you. *Join us at the party of all those who were lost and now are found at 8am at Grace and 11am at Trinity. Bible Study will be at 9:30am at Grace in between.*

*For those not yet joining us in person*, here is the bulletin for Sunday <mcusercontent.com/a90ee03ff0810e6c55bae6a58/files/fe6d7047-ad2d-4b67-8ead-dbf4abf52b2a/2020_06_28_Trinity_3.pdf> to follow along with at home.

25 June – Commemoration of the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession

The presentation of the Augsburg Confession was a decisive moment, one long in coming. It is important to understand the history leading up to the Imperial Meeting at Augsburg [on June 25, 1530]. Nine years earlier, on April 18, 1521, at the Imperial Meeting in Worms, Charles V had listened as Martin Luther refused to recant his teachings, saying, “I cannot and will not recant. I cannot do otherwise. Here I stand. God help me. Amen.” Now Charles was watching as the most important rules in his German territories confessed their faith openly and courageously in spite of the threats to their lives from both the government and the Church.

The Augsburg Confession was intentionally crafted to present a gentle and peaceful response to the emperor. It was intended only to speak for Saxony. However, as various German leaders read it they indicated that they, too, wanted to sign their names and make it their Confession.

So on June 25, 1530, courageous Lutheran laymen confessed their faith and told the emperor and the Roman Church what they believed, taught, and confessed. They relied on the promise of God’s Word, as contained in Psalm 119:46, “I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame.” The Augsburg Confession was presented as a statement of biblical truth and a proposal for true unity in the Christian faith. It has never been withdrawn.

Dear Saints and friends of Grace & Trinity,
I forgot to mention a few items:
1. This Sunday (tomorrow!) please bring back your baby bottle with donations for Kansans for Life. 2. We’re thrilled to have David Ketteman join our congregation at Trinity tomorrow–if you’ve not already, please welcome him when you see him! 3. And speaking of David, please keep his uncle’s family in your prayers. Rollin Ketteman fell asleep in Christ this week. We’ll pray that the Lord would receive him with joy and continue to care for his family. 4. OMT is Tuesday at Trinity from 9am to Noon. We’ll pray Matins, discuss St. Bernard of Clairvaux’s treatises, and then go to lunch. If you’re able, please join us! I’m attaching two of the four treatises we’ll discuss.
Peace and joy to you all in Christ our life, -Pastor
