The Theology of the Cross Bible Study
The beginning of a new school year means Sunday School & Bible classes start again (Sept. 12). For the first seven weeks, the adult Bible class will be studying the theology of the cross, an important and relevant topic for all ages. This study looks not only at Christ’s cross, but also at the im-portance of the cross God sends all Christians in the form of suffering and pain. This eye-opening study will cause you to view everyday life differ-ently. You don’t want to miss this! This study will be based on the book The Theology of the Cross, by Daniel M. Deutschlander. It is not necessary to read the book for this study. However, the book is very beneficial and highly recommended to supplement our discussions. Sign up on the south bulletin board to purchase a copy for a reduced price (originally $19.50).

School of Outreach
A team from our congregation will be attending a School of Out-reach in Wauwatosa on September 24-26. During this weekend, leaders in our Wisconsin Synod will offer presentations, resources, and discussions to provide each congregation with the tools and insights for developing strategic plans for an evangelism program. Within the next few weeks, you will receive a survey that will gather information about our church in order to assist our team in planning a strategy. Please complete this survey! Be honest! It will benefit those working to improve our congregation. In October, look for the results and plans derived from this School of Outreach.
