THE WORD

FIRST LESSON: Isaiah 6:1-8

When Isaiah was called to be a prophet of the Lord, he was given a glimpse of heaven. He saw the holy Lord seated on His throne, surrounded by angels who were praising Him. Isaiah was troubled because he was an unworthy sinner. The Lord assured Isaiah that his sin had been removed. The Lord then called Isaiah to be a prophet.

PSALM OF THE DAY: Psalm 85 on page 97

We can rejoice because our holy Lord gives us peace through the message of salvation.

SECOND LESSON: 1 Corinthians 142:12b-20

The Lord gives many different gifts to His people, just as He gave the gift of speaking in tongues to many of His first century believers. He gives each of us gifts and abilities that we might “build up the church” by instructing others with the gospel.

GOSPEL: Luke 5:1-11

Jesus calls His first disciples. A miraculous catch of fish prove to these fishermen and to us that Jesus is who He says He is. Peter,

James and John left their fishing and became “fishers of men.”

THE SERMON: Psalm 145:4

THEME: From Generation to Generation

OUR FATHER’S BUSINESS

SOUP SUPPER will be served before services on Ash Wednesday, February 17. Serving will begin at 6 PM. There will be a freewill offering to pay for supplies, and money left over will go toward paying off money borrowed from the Memorial Fund for General expenses. MENU: Hamburger soup, crackers, cheese, buns, bars, coffee, milk and juice. At the time of this writing, the committee still needs 3 volunteers to bake a pan of bars each. Let Bill or Vernice Kowalke know if you can bake a pan of bars for the supper. Lenten Series this year will focus on some epistle lessons bringing out an important thought for Lent.
