O Little Town of Bethlehem

A Mighty Fortress

 

A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from every need that hath us now overtaken.
The old evil foe now means deadly woe; deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight; on Earth is not his equal.

 

With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the Valiant One, whom God Himself elected.
Ask ye, who is this? Jesus Christ it is.
Of Sabbath Lord, and there’s none other God;
He holds the field forever.

 

Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us.
We tremble not, we fear no ill, they shall not overpower us.
This world’s prince may still scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none, he’s judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.

 

The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it;
He’s by our side upon the plain with His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life, goods, fame, child and wife,
Let these all be gone, they yet have nothing won;
The Kingdom ours remaineth.

Martin Luther (1529)

A special banner was created for the installation of our new pastor, Reverend Christopher Weber.

He is Risen! Alleleuia!

He is not here;

he is risen, 

just as he said.

Come and see the place where he lay.

Matthew 28:6

It is Finished

Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so 

that the Scripture would be fulfilled, 

Jesus said, "I am thirsty."  A jar of 

wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge

 in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, 

and lifted it to Jesus' lips.  When he had received the drink, 

Jesus said, "It is finished."  

With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
