SUNDAY MORNING ADULT BIBLE CLASS: Beginning THIS week, October 7, will meet in the gymnasium.

TODAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOL: In Genesis 42-45, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and forgives them, telling them that though they meant evil, God used their acts for good.  Our Lord Jesus Christ reveals Himself to us and forgives us in His holy Word and Sacraments.  Review and discuss how God was with Joseph, blessing him through all that happened, the good and the bad.  Talk about how God has turned bad or evil things in your life or world into blessings for your good.  Children should go directly to their Sunday School classes, as they gather for a closing this year instead of an opening.  Thank you.
