We gather today as Gods beloved children to worship our Heavenly Father.

We praise his
holy name, we listen eagerly for his words of comfort, hope, and challenge to us, and we
offer ourselves to him in dedicated service. May you be blessed as you worship here today.
St. Paul Lutheran Church is a congrega-
tion of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America (E.L.C.A.). It is referred to as
Borchers since Rev. Henry Borchers, who
served our congregation from 1857-1881,
advised and influenced a small group of
pioneer settlers that wanted to establish a
congregation in the area. This year we
celebrate 162 years of life and ministry in this
beautiful country setting in Southern Indiana.
We look forward to many more years of
growth and change as we seek continually to
be faithful to Gods call to mission.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is
offered at the 8:00 a.m. services on the 2
nd
and 4
th
Sundays and at the 10:15 a.m. ser-
vice on the 1
st
and the 3
rd
Sundays of the
month. Christians who believe in the true
presence of Christ in the bread and wine for
our forgiveness and salvation are invited to
receive Holy Communion.

Sunday School classes are held each Sun-
day for all ages at 9:10 a.m. Visitors are
welcome to attend.

Nineteenth Sunday of Easter
Jesus' summary of the law in today's gospel echoes our first reading
from Leviticus. We are called not only to love God with heart, soul,
and mind, but also to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is out of
such deep care that Paul shares the gospel with the Thessalonian
community. In the confession of sins, we acknowledge that we have
not loved God, neighbor, and self; yet we gather to hear the word of
forgiveness and to be strengthened by word and meal to be signs of
God's love and mercy in the world.

Readings for the Day:
Leviticus 19:12, 1518- The holiness code in Leviticus urges
people to be holy because God is holy. Holiness is lived out in
partiality for and consideration of the poor and the weak. We are to
love our neighbors as ourselves. God's people exercise justice and
love in their dealings with one another.

1 Thessalonians 2:18- Paul uses maternal imagery to depict the
caring and nurturing relationship he shares with the Thessalonian
Christians. When he first came to their city it was not to benefit
himself but to share the gospel with them, which was his
responsibility as an apostle of Christ.

Matthew 22:3446- Put on the spot by the Pharisees, Jesus
displays wisdom by summarizing the law of God in just two
commandments and by demonstrating the Messiah must be more
than the son of David.
