Care for CreationFrom the very beginning, God - the creator of the universe and everything in it – was providing for us – His most precious creation. He gave us dominion over all creatures. He provided food for us to eat. God loved us and wanted us to delight in what He had made.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long until we messed it up by bringing sin into the world. Today, things aren’t as perfect as they once were (think mosquitoes, cactus, fire ants, disease). However, we still have God’s creation to enjoy and

What a great start to The Story! I am talking about our sermon series for the next school year, of course. Isn’t it great, how the Sunday School materials are tailored for each age group? Along with the rest of the adults, I study the adult materials. But I also enjoy the materials for my grandchildren; each has different materials, since they are in different age groups. And I especially enjoy the artwork for the children, it adds so much to The Story.

Switching gears, let’s talk about an important meeting on October 21. On that Sunday, after late service,

care for. From incredible sunsets to scenic landscapes to amazing wildlife to changing leaves in the Fall – we should take time to appreciate it. Our responsibility is to be good stewards of the earth and everything in it – land, water, animals, plants. We should keep a heart of respect, thankfulness, and reverence, and remember that we are caretakers, not the owners. We should

we will gather for a luncheon in the Family Life Center. Then we will spend a few hours in a Community Forum. This important meeting is the first milestone in our Facilities Master Plan update, so I encourage all members to attend. We will examine various parts of our campus, and identify future requirements. You can begin thinking now about which area has the most interest for you. Is it the Sanctuary, Family Life Center, Gathering Place, Historic Chapel, kitchen, or something else? We will all spend some quality time discussing these various topics. Please make your plan to join us.

also care for each other, since God made all of us in His image.

Stewardship is not only about giving time, talents, and treasure to the church. It is also about looking after what God has provided for us.

Your Brother in Christ,Kyle Gass, ChairSt John Lutheran Stewardship Committee

Along with our architect, we will use all the information from the Community Forum to take the next steps in the process. This is a creative, exploratory time for us. None of the decisions have been made yet. No agendas have been formed. The process is thoughtful and prayerful. Through our collective wisdom and discernment, I am confident that St John will have an updated Facility Master Plan that reflects our deep understanding of God’s will for our congregation.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” - Genesis 1:28-29

80 Years+ PartyNovember 11, 2018On November 11, 2018 we would like to recognize members of our church family who are at least 80 years young.

This celebration will take place in Family Life Center from 8:30–10:30am with brunch. We will have tables set up for our honorees to display memorabil-ia and pictures so they can share their memories and accomplishments of those 80+ years with us. This is going to be an intergenerational event that children, parents and grand-parents will not want to miss!

Congratulations to Cindy MoriartyCindy Moriarty has been recognized as ‘Volunteer of the Year’ by the Hill Country Pregnancy Care Center. Congrats, Cindy and Thank You for your faithful service!
