A Personal Invitation

I would like to extend my personal invitation to all of you to attend the first worship service in the new church at St. John's Lutheran in Spokane, WA THIS Sunday morning. The festivities will begin at 9:00am sharp as we enter the building en mass an take our places in the sanctuary. After the worship service there will be time of fellowship with free coffee and doughnuts, followed by Bible study from 10:15 to 11:15am. Here is your chance to get in on the ground floor and be part of this historical event. For those of you that live some distance from Spokane you will have to get up a little earlier on Sunday morning. For those of you who live in Wisconsin or Minnesota (East Dakota) you better hit the road now! Remember, this building is not complete, so blue jeans should be the attire of the day.

It continues to look like the weather will be very cooperative on Sunday. The cool of the morning will quickly give way to the warmth of the day, as the sun rises in near cloudless sky. The sun won't be beating down on us through the still open roof that early in the day meaning that it should stay quite comfortable. The best part about the open roof is that our songs and prayers will rise up to God unhindered. Today was a beautiful day, in a number of respects. The weather was sunny and warm, 84 the high temperature this afternoon. I was part of the winning team in two out of the three sets of tennis that we played this morning, and the paving folks showed up at church and our parking lot is a wonderful shade of black. This evening I look forward to stimulating convesation with Kay out on the front porch, along with a visit from my buddy Brady. Barbequed ribs are on the menu, with yours truly manning the tongs grillside. I want everyone to make sure that they are up and watching ESPN at 9:00am Pacific, 10:00 Mountain, and 11:00 Central time tomorrow as Wisconsin plays host to Fresno State in football. GO BADGERS!

The weekend weather forecast remains unchanged, sunny and unusually warm for mid September. Highs will be in the upper 80s, with lows in the 50s.
