Extra, Extra!: We have copies of the Concordia Publishing House “Good

News Gazette” Spring 2016 issue on the table in the Narthex if you would

like one. Please help yourself. It’s sort of a newspaper, sort of a catalog, sort

of a flyer. It features only their favorite books that speak to real-life, regular

church people about the gifts God has for them such as books for babies, kids,

teens, men, women, devotionals, coloring books, biographies, and, of course,

Bibles. And some other things they couldn’t fit into that list. It will be

helpful, insightful, fun, funny, sometimes sad, and meaningful Bible-based

resources that will answer your questions and enrich your faith. The Gazette

also offers extra savings on sale prices. But these exclusive offers are only

available through the promo code, which you will find in the Gazette.

LUTHERAN WITNESS, the official publication of the LC-MS, is available

additional $1.50 being provided from a second source. Beginning in January

the cost of sponsoring a broadcast increased to $25.00 for our members. We

thank those who have supported this wonderful ministry and pray that, despite

the cost increase you will continue to support it in the future as we continue

not only to bring Christ to the nations but “Christ to Humboldt.”

This is a final invitation for the June 7-10, 2016 bus trip to the Creation

Museum. The Creation Museum is just south of Cincinnati, OH. It takes a

day to get there. The trip will be on a Windstar bus, which has a restroom.

We will spend two days at the Creation Museum. The hours of the museum

are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. You will be given a plan of how to make the best use of

your time while in the museum. On Wednesday evening we will go to an

open air mall and on Thursday evening we will have the option to go to the

Cincinnati Reds/St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. Those tickets are $12 and

are right behind home plate. There are still seats available on this bus trip. If

you are interested in this trip, give us a call at 319-352-5435 and we can give

you prices, pick up points and other details. It is a trip you won’t regret

taking. The Creation Museum is based on Genesis 1-11, the basis of our

Christian faith. It truly brings the Bible to life.

“Let us stand firm for the rights of all people, especially for the most

vulnerable, defenseless of them all, the unborn children … The Church has

confessed from the beginning that each life is created by God, that human life

is the supreme gift of the Creator. Human life is not given unconditionally

but is given under the condition that we will be responsible for preserving it.”

Abbot Tryphon, Vashon Island, Washington. A “Life Quote” from

Lutherans For Life – www.lutheransforlife.org.

BUILDING HEALTHY FAMILIES: “The earth is the Lord’s and all that

is in it…,” proclaims Psalm 24. Many will celebrate Earth Day on Friday.

We ca celebrate, too, knowing that God has graciously given us this earth to

live in and have dominion over, but that it is not ours. It is His. This week,

talk with your children about ways to live and act that show respect and care

for all that God has so marvelously made for our use. I so doing, honor not he

creation, but the Creator. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa (800)622-7285
