Calling all musicians! We have a wonderful opportunity at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church: the opportunity to be a Bell Ringer or Chimer! As members of Our Savior’s, we not only have an opportunity, but an obligation to get involved in our church activities. Music is one of those things. Rehearsals for these two groups begin on Wednesday, September 4th at 5:30 for Chimers and 6:30 for Bells. We need more Ringers in each of these groups. We have accomplished quite a lot in the short time we have been together and can really use some new Ringers to help us continue. I will help anyone who would like to start. Please call me at 320-981-0226 if you want to join us. This will give you a real lift in the

How might I pray?We ask you to pray for each person in the next

week.

A sample prayer for healing from the ELW …By your power, great God, our Lord Jesus Christ

healed the sick and gave new hope to the hopeless. Though we cannot command or possess

your power, we pray for those who want to be healed. Mend their wounds, soothe fevered brows and make broken people whole again. Help us to

welcome every healing as a sign that, though death is against us, you are for us and have

promised renewed and risen life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A sample prayer for our military …God of all power and might, we pray for those who serve in the military. Keep them safe as they protect our precious freedom. When the time is right, bring them safely home to us that we might all rejoice in your goodness, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

First Reading: Proverbs 25:6-7The book of Proverbs is part of a collection of writings known as wisdom literature. Wisdom literature gave directions to Israel’s leaders and people for the conduct of daily life. Today’s reading is about humility.

 6Do not put yourself forward in the king’s presence  or stand in the place of the great; 7for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”  than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

Second Reading: Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16

The conclusion of the letter to the Hebrews contains suggestions for the conduct of a holy life, all of which are shaped by God’s love toward us in Jesus Christ.

1Let mutual love continue. 2Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. 3Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. 4Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” 6So we can say with confidence,  “The Lord is my helper;  I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”  7Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 15Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Gospel: Luke 14:1, 7-14

Jesus observes guests jockeying for position at the table. He uses the opportunity to teach his hearers to choose humility rather than self-exaltation. Jesus also makes an appeal for hosts to mimic God’s gracious hospitality to the poor and the broken.

1On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the Sabbath,

they were watching him closely.  7When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. 8“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; 9and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. 10But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 11For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”  12He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. 13But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Prayer of the Day

O God, you resist those who are proud and give grace to those who are humble. Give us the humility of your Son, that we may embody the generosity of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.Amen.
