This Sunday is Reformation Sunday, celebrating the beginning of Lutheranism! On October 31, 1517, a young friar named Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses (points of contention) for debate. The rest, as they say, is history. Come for worship, stay for a potluck meal. Bring a dish to share.
There is a specially called church council meeting this Sunday at 9:30 am. If you are a council member, please make every effort to attend.
The Gathering meets this Friday at 11:00 am at the home of Barbara Little. The St. Luke Guys meets at 11:30 am at The Twisted Taco in Fayetteville.
We are gathering food for our Thanksgiving Food Box ministry. Please take a list from the display in the narthex and bring the items to the church to be sorted for our food boxes. the boxes will be distributed on Saturday, November 18.
For questions or more information, please see Mary Beth Egas.
St. Luke's annual silent auction will be held November 5 and 12 following worship. You can donate items prior to the 5th. All proceeds benefit our Children's Christmas Craft Fair.
Following worship and the potluck fellowship this Sunday there will be a planning session for the Children's Christmas Craft Fair. Please attend if you are interested in helping. Bring craft ideas with you.

Prayer of the Day
Gracious Father, we pray for your holy catholic church. Fill it with all truth and peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in anything it is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in need, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Amen.
