We gather today as Gods beloved children to worship our Heavenly Father.

We praise his
holy name, we listen eagerly for his words of comfort, hope, and challenge to us, and we
offer ourselves to him in dedicated service. May you be blessed as you worship here today.
St. Paul Lutheran Church is a congrega-
tion of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America (E.L.C.A.). It is referred to as
Borchers since Rev. Henry Borchers, who
served our congregation from 1857-1881,
advised and influenced a small group of
pioneer settlers that wanted to establish a
congregation in the area. This year we
celebrate 162 years of life and ministry in this
beautiful country setting in Southern Indiana.
We look forward to many more years of
growth and change as we seek continually to
be faithful to Gods call to mission.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is
offered at the 8:00 a.m. services on the 2
nd
and 4
th
Sundays and at the 10:15 a.m. ser-
vice on the 1
st
and the 3
rd
Sundays of the
month. Christians who believe in the true
presence of Christ in the bread and wine for
our forgiveness and salvation are invited to
receive Holy Communion.

Sunday School classes are held each Sun-
day for all ages at 9:10 a.m. Visitors are
welcome to attend.

Nineteenth Sunday of Easter
Jesus' summary of the law in today's gospel echoes our first reading
from Leviticus. We are called not only to love God with heart, soul,
and mind, but also to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is out of
such deep care that Paul shares the gospel with the Thessalonian
community. In the confession of sins, we acknowledge that we have
not loved God, neighbor, and self; yet we gather to hear the word of
forgiveness and to be strengthened by word and meal to be signs of
God's love and mercy in the world.

Readings for the Day:
Leviticus 19:12, 1518- The holiness code in Leviticus urges
people to be holy because God is holy. Holiness is lived out in
partiality for and consideration of the poor and the weak. We are to
love our neighbors as ourselves. God's people exercise justice and
love in their dealings with one another.

1 Thessalonians 2:18- Paul uses maternal imagery to depict the
caring and nurturing relationship he shares with the Thessalonian
Christians. When he first came to their city it was not to benefit
himself but to share the gospel with them, which was his
responsibility as an apostle of Christ.

Matthew 22:3446- Put on the spot by the Pharisees, Jesus
displays wisdom by summarizing the law of God in just two
commandments and by demonstrating the Messiah must be more
than the son of David.

Going Deeper
The purpose of this page is to provide a tool or instrument for your spiritual growth. This page
contains a brief synopsis of the readings as well as some questions for your reflection to help you go
deeper with the Word. On the back is a day by day listing of scripture readings with possible prayer
request. Individuals are listed on their day of birthso that you might pray for them on their birthday.
Also on the back is the prayer list for the congregation. Keep on Growing Spiritually!!

Readings for the Day:

Exodus 19:3-7; 20:1-17: After excepting from slavery, the
Israelites come to Mount Sinai, where God teaches them how to
live in community. The Ten Commandments proclaim that God
alone is worthy of worship. Flowing from God, the life of the
community flourishes when based on honesty, trust, fidelity, and
respect for life, family, and property.

Matthew 5:17-20: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his
followers that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
He also encourages his followers to teach and do the law will be
called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

From Sunday & Seasons, copyright 2014 Augsburg Fortress


Questions To Ponder:
1What does it mean the God says to the Israelites that they
will be a priestly kingdom and a holy nation?
2What does it mean that God will bore you on eagles wing?
3Why does God give the Israelites the Ten
Commandments?
4Which Commandment do you think is the most
important? Why?
5Which Commandment do you think is the hardest to
keep?
