Sermon From Sunday
Exodus A Christmas Story
Fight or Flight
We want God to do big things. However, when we look in the manger, in Bethlehem, in a virgin birth, in the town of Nazareth, it seems that God keeps working through the small things in life. Perhaps we should look for the small things too.

Dreams and Ideas For Grace
Dreams and Ideas for the Future of Grace Lutheran PSL
Thank you for Sharing your Dreams and Ideas with us on the Planning Committee. We are in a listening phase of our journey. We are listening for God to reveals what the next years will look like at Grace.
You are integral in this listening, because many times God speaks through his bride the church. So please fill out the form below. If you get another dream or idea please fill it in again.
Read the Original Letter
Dreams and Ideas At Grace Lutheran PSL
Jesus says in Matthew Chapter 5: 13-16
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Salt and Light. Two things that make the world more beautiful and better. God, through the work of the Spirit, makes us into salt and light wherever we go, sending us out into our jobs and interests to bring good taste and light to everywhere around us.
As we at Grace Lutheran PSL emerge from paying off our mortgage, we find ourselves in a good position to look forward into the future. We are financially able to do some amazing salt and light work in our community. However we are not yet sure what that work is.
So at this point, then, we want to ask ourselves a really tough question.
Why does God have Grace Lutheran in St Luice West?
This question is why the planning committee at Grace is sending out this letter. How does God want us to be salt and light in Port St Lucie? Who are we? What are we here to be and do in PSL?
We at the planning Committee want your Dreams and Ideas for Grace Lutheran PSL.
Your Dreams and Ideas can be anything. From wild outlandish Dreams to something which is small and one time. We want to hear all the ideas and dreams for Grace. We believe that God is putting a common thread inside of the dreams and Ideas of all the members and friends of Grace. That thread is why God has placed us here at this time. Some churches call this the vision, others call it their mission. We like calling it the Big Idea.
Grace’s Planning committee is Cheryl Nolte, Susan Becker, Mechelle Arbuzow, Ed Bock, Leigh Liagre, Claude & Pat Hessee, and Pastor Cris Escher. If you have any questions or want to share your dreams and ideas in a personal way, Please reach out to any of these members of the committee. We are enclosing a list of possible evangelistic projects, These are just ideas to stimulate your thoughts so you can describe projects and ideas you would like to see in the church.
So please take a few minutes to share your dreams and ideas for Grace – drop them in the gold box at church, leave them in the office, email them to planning@gracelutheranpsl.com, or fill out the form on GraceLutheranPSL.com/Dreams
In Christ,
Pastor Cris

I would like to challenge us as an congregation to tally up at least 500 community service hours throughout the month of October. We will coordinate and advertise a wide variety of service projects and ways to help out neighbors in the coming weeks.

Racism, Dealing with It
Editor’s note: in the wake of the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, a word on dealing with racism from Professor Leo Sánchez.
In a sinful world, racism will not go away. Every so often, it raises its ugly head in public. But rather than merely stating what seems so obvious—racism is a sin—here are some practical ways to confront it head on and deal with it.

One-night Movie Event
Don’t miss this special event: a one-time showing of the new
Martin Luther film at:
Regal Cinemas Treasure Coast Mall on October 19 at 6:30pm
This special screening is the perfect outreach opportunity... a chance to invite friends and neighbors to an event in a community setting. This entertaining new film follows the great adventure story of Luther’s life, packed with political intrigue, kidnappings, and life-or-death showdowns. At the same time, it's a story about the most important questions of life, including "Who am I?" "What is my purpose" and "How do I get right with God?"
It’s a must-see for any lifelong Lutheran, and a chance to share the message of your Lutheran heritage with others. And the only place you can see the film is in the theater on the night of our church’s special event.
This is the first time in more than 60 years that Lutherans have made a feature-length film about Martin Luther and the Reformation. Filmed in historic locations across Europe, this movie brings Luther’s story to life with exquisite attention to detail. It’s a chance to strengthen your faith by revisiting the birth of Protestant Reformation, and to share that experience with others.
IMPORTANT: All tickets ($12 each) must be purchased in advance. Tickets can be purchased at a special web site set up for the screening:

I Wonder If Sunday School Is Destroying Our Kids
Several years ago I met with a woman distraught by her son’s rejection of Christianity.
She said, “I did everything I could to raise him right. I taught him to be like the ‘heroes of faith,’ with the faithfulness of Abraham, the goodness of Joseph, the pure heart of David, and the obedience of Esther.”
She wondered why he rejected Christianity.
I wondered why it took him so long.
Here is how we destroy the gospel message
Look at almost any Sunday school curriculum. You’ll find:
Abraham was faithful, and God made him the father of a nation. So be faithful like Abraham.
Joseph was a good little boy (unlike his “bad” brothers), and God made him Prime Minister of Egypt. So be good like Joseph.
David had a pure heart (unlike his brothers), and God made him King of Israel. So have a pure heart like David.
Esther was an obedient girl. God made her Queen of Persia and she saved God’s people. So be obedient like Esther.
Finally, if we fail to be good, Jesus will forgive us (a “P.S.” tacked onto the end).
What’s so bad about these Sunday school lessons?
Nothing really. Except that they lie about God, they lie about these “heroes of the faith,” they lie about the Bible, and they lie about the gospel. Apart from that, they are pretty good. Oh, they also create “younger brother” rebels and “older brother” Pharisees.

The Fog of Fear: Panic Attacks, Anxiety and Being Overwhelmed
You can see it far off, looming on the horizon, a thick fog menacing off the coast and swirling in the distance. You know the signs. You’ve been here many times before, but you’ve learned to carry on. At first you kind of ignore it, you are aware it’s there, but you don’t want to work yourself up so you busy yourself with things in the hopes the winds will change and it is driven out to sea. But the winds rarely change.
In time it approaches, subtle and quiet, caressing its way—almost seducing—its way back into your life. Your ostrich-defense has not worked and you aren’t able to continue the charade of hiding. At first it’s manageable. “This isn’t so bad” you think, “I can handle this.” But before you know it the fog is all around you, the thick blur is everywhere and the familiar comforts are whited-out. In the fog sounds are distant echoes, faces are veiled shapes and the familiar becomes strange—but strange because this particular strange you know all too well. Feeling alienated, overwhelmed—unable to trust yourself, in the fog of anxiety you give up. You lose yourself in a kind of existential madness. You have a panic attack.

GOD'S HUMILITY FOR YOU
By Martin Luther
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." -Philippians 2:5-11
Christ assumed the form of a servant, even while remaining God and having the form of God; he was God, and his divine words and works were spoken and wrought for our benefit. As a servant, he served us with these. He did not require us to serve him in compensation for them, as in the capacity of a Lord he had a just right to do. He sought not honor or profit thereby, but our benefit and salvation. It was a willing service and gratuitously performed, for the good of men. It was a service unspeakably great, because of the ineffable greatness of the minister and servant -- God eternal, whom all angels and creatures serve.

Family Meals' Summer Outreach 2017
We need lots of volunteers to help us deliver to over 1000 families! Our summer menu includes: a frozen chicken, fresh carrots, fresh potatoes, canned vegetables, bbq beans, rolls and boxed desserts. These meal bags will be delivered directly to families' homes. We do not require families to sign vouchers, wait in line or carry a food box. We ask them to enjoy a family meal in their homes, using their recipes. We always include table-talk questions to get the table conversation started.We also include mealtime prayers for the families to share.
Dogs and Cats Forever in Fort Pierce is donating pet food to families this year! The entire family will be fed. http://dogsandcatsforever.com/, 4600 Selvitz Rd, Fort Pierce, (772) 489-5454
As always, we need lots of help! Volunteer opprotunities are available on Friday, July 28 at 1:00pm setting up the room, counting potatoes, and unloading the food trucks.
