> GREETINGS
> We Americans rejoice in our freedoms. Ours is the availability of the
> press. We can write letters to the editor against government policy. The
> freedom of speech has opened up the whole world and worldwide web to even
> our own crafted opinions.
> For us Americans, freedom is freedom from others’ control and dictation.
> It is freedom to each of our desired happiness. We have much to celebrate
> when it comes to our freedoms as Americans.
> Christian freedom also causes us to rejoice and praise our Lord who gives
> it to us. “For freedom,” says Galatians 5:1, “Christ has set you free.” We
> did not achieve it or earn it. Freedom in Christ Jesus is Christ Jesus’
> gift to us.
> But free from what? To what? At our Baptism, our Lord and Savior freed
> each of us from the sin’s control. Yes, Satan may accuse us of following a
> promise that seems to good to be true. Yet, neither he himself nor his
> smooth talking temptations can themselves snatch us from Jesus’ merciful
> protection. It is our succumbing to such lies that causes us to stumble.
> And, for each Christian, even then our Lord extends His once for all
> purchased forgiveness.
> Our Christian freedom is freedom to (first) trust in Christ in strength
> and weakness, (second) recognize sinful stuff for what it is, and
> (thirdly) serve our neighbor in need.
> Because Christ our Lord has baptized us into His death and resurrection,
> He shows us all the bounty of His gifts. His body broken on Calvary comes
> to us, together with His blood in Holy Communion. It’s for our
> forgiveness, too. It’s for our assurance because our Lord remains with us
> as He has promised to be.
> We don’t have to prove ourselves worthy of God’s attention. Instead, He
> frees us to trust He provides for our every need. He showers upon us
> house, home, food, clothing, our ability to think and daily protection. It
> matters not if we are rich or ppor. The homeless in Christ are just as
> free as the Christian corporate CEO.
> Seeing the world’s temptation is more than shaking our finger at social
> wrongs and shouting, “Just say “no”. Rather, the effects of sins, ours and
> otherwise, become clearer. When we play the one-upmanship game and scheme
> to get a friend’s social standing or prestige, we break our trust with
> God. We trust in ourselves for ourselves.
> Even so, forgiven by Christ of our sins, we rejoice in being His means of
> caring for people around us. Instead of scheming to get our friend’s
> prestige or social standing, we can find ways of helping him. Is he/she in
> a position of authority? We can pray he/she will act wisely. We can help
> his/her employees or fellow volunteers with their responsibilities.
> Whether advocating for the blind, providing clothes for the homeless,
> listening to someone’s frustrations, ours is the freedom to be of service
> to others. For Christ has declared us heirs of His promised salvation,
> sons that receive from Him faith to trust in Him alone.
>
> WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
> This month, we are having pizza, soft drinks, and cake. If anyone has any
> needs due to health/dietary concern, let me know so that we can make
> accommodations.

> Craig from Braille Bibles, International will present the services and
> products his organization has to offer. He desires to distribute the
