The Message this Week

Preaching Text: Matthew 11: 16-19, 25-30


All who are weary, come! Jesus calls the people 'children'. They keep changing their mind and are never satisfied, no matter what anyone, even Jesus, does. So Jesus makes it clear who He is here for...the ones who are weary and burdened.  Is that you?  

Holy God, Jesus has a way of seeing the people who need to be seen and helping them carry their burdens. In His name, Amen.

WONDERING...

Real questions from real people to learn more about faith.

We had a member alert us that they received a text message, email, or phone call from someone claiming to be with Geneva Lutheran Church from "accounts payable". This is SCAM. Please remember that no member of staff or Pastor Trudy will ever call, text, or email you requesting money, gift cards, or account numbers. If you are ever unsure, please call the church the office at 630-232-0165.

• Gathering God, send your Spirit on the church you have called out from every nation. Knit us together into one body with your faithful people everywhere.
• All your works give you praise. As we join in celebrating creation, renew our awe for all you have made and strengthen our resolve to care for the Earth for generations to come.
• As the United States of America marks its declaration of independence, give those whom we have entrusted with authority the spirit of wisdom, so that both here and abroad, justice, humility, and peace may flourish.
• Extend your arms to all who are tired, who live with poverty, the tempest-tossed, all who yearn to breathe free. Give healing and hope to people in need, especially those we carry in our hearts.
• We remember before you those who have died in every generation and those who have died ensuring the freedoms of this country: people in the armed services, peace officers, advocates, and activists. Gather us, together with those who have gone before us into the holy city you have prepared. 

Grateful for your abundant provision and trusting in your goodness, we cast all our cares upon you, through the abundant grace of Christ Jesus. Amen.

How beautiful the Mother's Garden looks that Chris Chippas and I started exactly 20 years ago. Brings me to tears every time I am back in town to visit. The wonderful way God has worked in the lives of those engraved in the bricks is His glory. Thank you for providing a peaceful sanctuary on 3rd Street to direct people closer to Christ. Gratefully, Renee Lotz
