- Teen Bible Class also begins on September 12, right after the fellowship time. This class is geared for young people ages 7th through 10th grade. They resume their classes with a study of the book of Genesis.
- Adult Bible Class begins as well on September 12, right after the fellowship time (about 10:20AM). Come to learn, to share, and especially to GROW in your faith! We will spend several weeks studying more about Judaism.
- Wednesday Bible Class will begin meeting on Wednesday, September 15, at 9am. We’ll have doughnuts and coffee to feed your body, and the Word to feed your soul. Our first course of study will take us through the Fruits of the Spirit as outlined in Galatians chapter 5. Come join us!
- A few teams of volunteers are needed to help out with the setting up/cleaning up of the communion ware on Sundays. We already have a few teams in place, but we could use a few more so as to “spread the work around” a little more. Can you help? Please contact either Elders chairman Jerry Natzke or Pastor Weiland.
- Confirmation Class begins Wednesday, September 15th, from 3:30-5:00. All 6th through 8th graders from our congregation are required to attend this three-year class, which helps to train them in the truths of our Christian faith, and to prepare them for communicant membership in our congregation.
- A reminder that every Sunday we have about 8-10 Sunday editions of the Wauau Daily Herald for sale in the church entrance. Half of the $1.50 price goes directly to support our church youth group.
- The September issue of Forward In Christ is available now. See the news sidebar for more information and don't forget to pick up a copy from the entry way table.

"God's Word for the ages"
|
Ever wonder where the Bible comes from? We all know the basics—that it was inspired by God and written by various authors. But how did it get from those authors to the book that we read today? Many people in the Milwaukee area were discussing that topic earlier this year because of an exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the public museum, but the subject reaches much further than the scrolls. We asked Prof. Paul Zell from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary to dig deeper. In his new eight-part series, he will look at the Book of the ages, including how the Old and New Testament canons were determined and how the ancient manuscripts were copied and translated. Read his first article in this issue.
While it's important to know where the Bible is from, it's even more important to know what's in it—God's inspired Word. "Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). In his monthly column, WELS President Mark Schroeder reminds us of the importance of digging into the Word and encourages us to settle into a faith-building routine of studying the Bible.
