INTRODUCTION On this day we celebrate the heart of our faith: the gospel of Christ—the good news—that makes us free! We pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to unite the church today in its proclamation and witness to the world. In the waters of baptism we are made one body; we pray for the day that all Christians will also be one at the Lord’s table. Simon and Jude, Apostles We know little about these apostles. Simon is listed as “the zealot” or Cananean in New Testament lists. Jude, also called Thaddeus, asked Jesus at the last supper why he had revealed himself to the disciples but not to the world.

SERVICE OF THE SACRAMENT

COMMEMORATIONS FOR THE WEEK October 28—Simon and Jude, Apostles Little is known about Simon and Jude. In New Testament lists of the apostles, Simon the “zealot” or Cananaean is men-tioned, but he is never mentioned apart from these lists. Jude, sometimes called Thaddeus, is also mentioned in lists of the Twelve. At the last supper Jude asked Jesus why he had cho-sen to reveal himself to the disciples but not to the world. A traditional story about Simon and Jude says that they traveled together on a missionary journey to Persia and were both martyred there.

October 31—Reformation Day By the end of the seventeenth century, many Lutheran church-es celebrated a festival commemorating Martin Luther's post-ing of the Ninety-five Theses, a summary of the abuses in the church of his time. At the heart of the reform movement was the gospel, the good news that it is by grace through faith that we are justified and set free.

November 1—All Saints Day The custom of commemorating all of the saints of the church on a single day goes back at least to the third century. All Saints cele-brates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who make up the body of Christ. We remember all who have died in the faith and now serve God around the heavenly throne.

November 3—Martín de Porres, renewer of society, died 1639 Martín was the son of a Spanish knight and Ana Velázquez, a freed black slave from Panama. Martin apprenticed himself to a barber-surgeon in Lima, Peru, and was known for his work as a healer. Martin was a lay brother in the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and engaged in many charitable works. He was a gardener as well as a counselor to those who sought him out. He was noted for his care of all the poor, regardless of race. His own religious community described him as the “father of charity.” His work included the founding of an orphanage, a hospital, and a clinic for cats and dogs. He is recognized as an advocate for Christian charity and interracial justice.

CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS WELCOME KU STUDENTS! We are so excited for you to be here, and we look forward to growing togeth-er in Christ! You will find out quickly that this is a friendly congregation that cares about you. Campus Min-istry’s theme for the 2018-19 academic year is “Real. Present. God.” and our verse is Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.” We invite you each Wednesday evening at 8 PM to gather in the Campus Ministry room next to the gym for fellowship, warm cookies, and to study the lives of men and women depicted in the Bible. God was real and present in their lives, and we want to discuss how God is real and present in our lives today. Pastor Randy will be the lead facilitator. Let’s have some fun this year as we grow in Christ together.

Please be sure to put your Lawrence address, preferred email, and telephone number on attendance sheet.

OCTOBER IS PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH Did you know that October is officially Pastor Appreciation Month? The Elders of Immanuel Lutheran Church and University Student Center want to let the congregation know that October would be a great time to let Pastor Randy and Nancy know how much you value you them.

What might be some ways to show your appreciation? Here’s a few ideas: 1. Invite someone to church to hear Pastor preach. 2. Pray daily for Pastor and Nancy. 3. Send a note of appreciation to them. 4. Volunteer to help with a task at church. 5. Share a pie or cookies or a special recipe with them. 6. Be creative to find a way to share your special talents in appreciation of all Pastor Randy and Nancy do for us at Immanuel. 7. Thank God on a regular basis for sending us such a wonderful team!

— Barb Riley and Tim Hetzler, Co-Head Elders

Please put “new staff position” on the memo line on your check. Immanuel will need to have at least one year of salary in the account be-fore advertising for the position.

NEED A MEMBER’S ADDRESS OR EMAIL? We update the church directory on the first of each month on the website. Be sure you update the office with any changes in emails, phone numbers and addresses by the 25th of the month.

FUNERAL PLANNING: In the days following a death, it can often be overwhelming for family mem-bers to put together the details of a funeral. Whether it is following a long illness or a surprising acci-dent, your loved ones may wonder what your wishes really were. Have you identified your wishes, written them down, and shared them with your family? To help you with this decision-making, IL-CUSC’s Health and Wellness Committee has printed a “Funeral Planning Worksheet” for your use. You may find copies of this document on the table in the church’s library, room 223.

GENEROSITY THOUGHT —Romans 3:20 –“For ‘no human being will be justified in his sight’ by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.” The Law of God is good; it is just that we sinners cannot save ourselves by the Law. Salvation is a free gift of God, be-cause that is the only way we ever could be saved. The Law shows us God’s holiness and thus our own sin. And now in Christ we can look at the Law and see it in a new light as well—as a guide for how to live a godly life in thanksgiving to God for God’s gracious forgiveness in Christ.

STEPHEN MINISTERS ARE THERE TO CARE Are you going through a difficult time—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? Are you lonely, experiencing a crisis, or simply stressed by everyday life? You don’t have to suffer alone. Our Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. To find out more, talk with Pastor Randy, Immanuel-University’s Stephen Leader.

THE LUTHERAN HOUR What if we get to heaven—and we don’t like it? Listen to The Lutheran Hour next Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on radio station WIBW 580 AM (Topeka), at 8:00 a.m. on KCMO 710 AM (Mission), or at 8:30 a.m.
