On Veterans Day we remember the courage and selfless service of so many throughout the generations who have answered the call to serve in the Armed Forces. We are thankful to God for their honorable sacrifice for the freedom of others. We also pray that God would keep chaplains in the faith and sanctify their ministry in the Word. Finally, a special thank you to all our brothers and sisters of Zion who have answered the call to serve!
Philippians 1:3, 5
“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you…because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” God doesn’t need anything we have. Yet He invites us to give so that we can indeed become “partners in the Gospel.” This is a gift of His grace. He invites us to do significant work in the Kingdom of God through our tithes and offerings.
Deuteronomy 8:7
“For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land.” Have we received any less than the sons of Israel in this great and glorious land? We are so very blessed! Let us then outdo even the sons of Israel in giving thanks!
Matthew 21:3
“If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” Just a colt and her foal. How significant could they be? Could they really be used by the Lord for some great, heavenly purpose? This is one facet of stewardship we often forget: the blessing it is to us to be of service in the Lord’s Kingdom. What honor the Lord bestows upon us by using our gifts for His goals!

In the Psalms God speaks to us, His people. God speaks to us about many different topics in the Psalms like: His existence, the Messiah, forgiveness, doubt, thanksgiving and many more! Join us each Wednesday for worship at 2:00 p.m. followed by a 30 min. Bible Study hosted by Pastor Grimenstein (starting at 2:30 p.m.) as we study Psalm 2 … About the Coming Messiah. God truly is speaking to us, come and hear what He is saying!
2 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”

Stewards of God
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10
This time of year, it is very common for people to be “thankful.” Even the unbelieving world around us can pause and appreciate all the stuff they have. But Christians do something unbelievers never can and never will do. We go further. We realize EVERYTHING we have not only comes from God, but everything also belongs to God. We are simply “using” those gifts from God for a while in this life. God is essentially “loaning” everything to us, just for a time.

Roseto, Pennsylvania. Its reputation: the healthiest town in America. At the center of that claim is an amazing story.
Many of the inhabitants of the town trace their ancestry to the village of Roseto Valfortore, located 100 miles southeast of Rome. The medieval village centers on a town square and a church named Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Narrow stone steps run up the hillside flanked by rows of stone houses with red tile roofs. The major industry there: stone quarries, located in the surrounding hills. Villagers would walk 4 to 5 miles each way to work, down the mountain and back, leaving early and returning late.
In 1882, a group of 11 Rosetans set sail for New York City. They spent some time in what is known as “Little Italy,” and then travelled 90 miles west to a location near Bangor, Pennsylvania, in order to work in a slate quarry there.
