J FAMILY
FRIENDLY IDEA
J What is
the “church”? When someone says the
word “church,” we think of a building where people go to worship. But the church is more than a building, it is
the group of believers who gather around the Word of God and the sacraments of
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Before or
after the service, allow your children to go up, with respect, and see the
altar, windows, and other items. Remind
them that God comes to us here in his Word and sacraments. He brings us what we truly need – the forgiveness
of sins.
WATCH #5
We Are The CHurch
is a spiritual renewal weekend designed to further your relationship with God
and other Christians. It is a rare opportunity to escape from the temptations
and traps of the world. WATCH #5 will take place October 10-12 at
WATCH Commonly Asked Question
A
commonly asked question about WATCH: How
much “touchy-feely” stuff is involved?
Do you mean are there any corny group activities like lying on the
floor and pretending you are a cloud? No, we have nothing even remotely like
that. Do you mean is there a lot of
crying and hugging? Well, you will hear how God has changed people’s lives.
When God starts working on people at the retreat, there are some who cry and
hug; there are some who don’t. No one seems to care who does what. Here is
another way to put it: You know how faith is NOT based on feelings? Rather,
faith is based on the rock of God’s Word? Well, sometimes, in the exercise of
our faith, feelings and emotions will emerge. Some react, and if you are one of
these, you won’t be the first. And some don’t, and if you are one of these, you
won’t be the first either. Please don’t allow feelings to be any part of your
decision to attend WATCH.
Next week's question: More about “touchy-feely”.
