Pastor Mary Martha giving you encouragement in the faith today.
What is the best thing you ever purchased???? Matthew 13:45 shares with us a parable from Jesus in which a man searches for fine pearls….finds the one of great value…and then sells all he has to purchase it. We know, for sure, that the things that are of greatest value in our lives are not material goods. Material goods have their place, but it is the things of God’s kingdom that are worthy of our search, worthy to be the treasures of our lives. What is the greatest treasure of your life? May it be God, who treasures you. God bless you always.
Saturday, August 1
We have been enjoying the summer blessing of additional time with young people of the congregation and community during summer work ministry. This past week, Alexander brought a truck filled with diapers, wipes, food, household supplies of all kinds….for the families of Strong Baby Sanctuary. The work ministry young people unloaded the truck. They moved 2034 pounds of items to share with families. Amazing. With such a great team, we have no doubt that their faith moves mountains. God bless our young people.

RECONCILING IN CHRIST
WELCOME STATEMENT
HEPHATHA LUTHERAN CHURCH
We welcome all of God’s people who seek the love of Jesus Christ. We welcome every race, sexual orientation, gender identity, social/economic class, marital status, ability, and age do not matter. What matters is your love of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the love of your neighbor as yourself.
We believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ, and his commandment to, “love one another; just as I have loved you.” Everyone is welcome to join as we walk together as one, in support of one another. Together we make it through the difficulties of non-acceptance, discrimination, racial, social and economic injustices, which many of us may face in this life. Hephatha is our holy ground, where there is love, hope, and respect on our journey, which is led by Jesus. We walk where he leads, because he assures us that he will never forsake us, and he will always be with us.
