Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Early Childhood Center

January 10, 2011

1.      Refreshments:  Susan Ide, ???????

2.  Devotion:     Things that go together / Things that DON'T go together

What are some things that go (Peanut butter and _______, mashed potatoes and ___________, etc.)

What are some things that don't (Plaids and ________, Lakers and ___________,etc.)

            Think of more ideas

Romans 3:28-30

            Why can't we get it straight that faith and observing the law (works) don't go together for salvation, but they do go together for daily living.

            57% of Christians believe Jesus is ________ to heaven!  (a, the only way, a possible way, one of many ways, part of how to get)  It's the correct answer, but that's not good that only 57% get it right.

3.       Prayers:

1. That we would forever understand the one way to salvation
2. That we would effectively guide our children as parents to know that one way IN THE HEART
3. That we would be more ready to discern the messages of the world that are lies
