Grace Notes

Friday Devotional:

Psalm 104:24-34,35b

My dogs excel at gratitude. They pay attention and they rejoice. They breathe in deeply the fragrance of flowers and whatever critters are or have been nearby. They look with eager anticipation for friends to come down the street. When their beloveds come near, my dogs cry and wag for joy. They savor every meal and treat they get. They take in their surroundings happily. At the end of the day they ask only to lie on the couch for a contented flop. My dogs and I and all of creation look to God to sustain us.

All good gifts come from the Holy One. God's works are many and wondrous. I rejoice to experience these works with my wonderful hounds and to join the great thanksgiving of creation who receive their life and all good things from God. And God rejoices in these works! I rejoice with God who rejoices in the creation-especially in you, reading this now. I'm so glad you are you and that you are in the world. God is overjoyed by you!

God of majesty, thank you for glorying in us and all your creation. Amen.

Quilting and Fellowship

Every Wednesday at 9:00 am

The quilting group "Operation LOVE" at Our Redeemer has been creating quilts for the Lutheran World Relief quilt ministry for many years. About 100 quilts are sent annually to Lutheran World Relief for distribution to those in need around the world.

Operation LOVE meets every Wednesday at 9:00 am in the coffee room. Anyone interested in participating in this ongoing project is encouraged to join the group at any time.

Sewing/quilting experience is not essential since there are many different ways to give assistance as needed.
