Theme: “Persistent Persistence!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

This MEA Weekend, we reflect on the power of persistence in faith and prayer.

Jesus tells the parable of the widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18:1–8 to remind us that persistence matters. We may wonder if our hard work, determination, or even our prayers make a difference. Yet God’s faithfulness assures us that our persistence is not in vain.

God blesses us with grace upon grace, equipping us to keep coming back, to keep asking, to keep trusting. With “persistent persistence,” we are called to pray and live faithfully, trusting the One who persistently showers us with blessing and hope.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 18:1–8

• Message: “Persistent Persistence!”

Location: Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Lakeville, MN
Join Us: In person or on YouTube at youtube.com/@lordoflifemn

Let us worship together and breathe deeply of the grace of the One who never gives up on us.

MEA Weekend Note: Whether you’re worshiping with us in person, online, or traveling this weekend, may you be blessed with God’s persistent grace wherever you are.

Unpacking the Parables: 8th Grade Confirmation Class

8th graders, mark your calendars for a thought-provoking Confirmation Class where we’ll dive into the Parables of Jesus.

We’ll provide lunch to keep you fueled as we explore the timeless stories that Jesus used to teach profound spiritual truths. This class is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding of the parables and discover how their lessons apply to our lives today.

Come ready for engaging discussions and meaningful insights as we journey together in faith. We can’t wait to see you there!

(Please note that the end time may vary. For the most accurate timing, please check with Pastor Jamie Thompson.)

Theme: “Do We Really Notice?”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

The core value highlighted this week is Prayer.

What do you notice most easily? What do you often overlook? Even when we fail to notice all the ways God graces us, God always notices us. As the lepers cry out for mercy in Luke 17:11–19, we are reminded that the Lord does not walk on by—the Lord forever takes notice.

We are blessed to be a blessing. Do we really notice?

Exploring the Word: Dive into the sacred scriptures as we discuss the Bible's relevance in our lives today. We'll explore key teachings and stories that form the foundation of our faith.

Building Connections: It's not just about learning – it's also about forming strong bonds. You'll have the chance to meet fellow 7th graders who are also embarking on this faith journey, as well as connect with mentors who are excited to walk alongside you through the next three years of your confirmation journey.

Theme: “Do Not Be Surprised!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

On this All Saints’ season Sunday, we begin our Giving Emphasis, Blessed To Be A Blessing, In The Grace Of Jesus Christ! Each week through November 16, we will highlight one of our core values.

This Sunday, the focus is Hospitality.

In Luke 17:5-10, the apostles ask Jesus to “increase our faith.” Jesus responds by reminding them that even faith as small as a mustard seed is more than enough. Faith is not about surprise outcomes or dramatic measures—it is about trusting the steady, simple gift already given.

We gather to give thanks that by grace we are already blessed to be a blessing, and that the faith God plants in us is pure, powerful, and permanent.

Theme: “Confirmed Each & Every Day … In A New Beginning!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Opportunities come our way every day—some we act on, and some we pass by. In our spiritual walk, we are invited to pause and reflect: how is God affirming and confirming us daily to step forward in faith? Luke 16:19-31 reminds us of the urgency of listening, responding, and living faithfully in the grace that is already given to us.

Trust anew that God is calling you, affirming you, and confirming you each and every day—to boldly believe, to receive, and to celebrate every new beginning in grace.

Affirmation of Baptism

We invite you to join us on September 28, 2025, as we celebrate a special and meaningful occasion in the life of our church community - Confirmation Sunday and the Affirmation of Baptism.

Confirmation is a significant milestone in the faith journey of our young members. It is a time when they have the opportunity to affirm their baptismal vows and declare their commitment to living a life of faith. On this day, our confirmands will stand before the congregation to acknowledge the grace of God, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and their desire to live as faithful disciples.

The Affirmation of Baptism is not just a rite of passage but a sacred moment where our youth publicly declare their beliefs, values, and dedication to their Christian faith. It is a day of celebration, reflection, and commitment.

We encourage you to join us in worship and witness this special event. Your presence and support mean a great deal to our confirmands as they take this important step in their faith journey. Let us come together as a community to celebrate, encourage, and uplift these young members as they affirm their faith and commitment to Christ.

Please mark your calendars and plan to be part of this joyous occasion. We look forward to seeing you there as we celebrate Confirmation Sunday and the Affirmation of Baptism on September 28, 2025.

Banquet

Join us for a special evening of celebration and fellowship at our Confirmation Banquet on September 21, 2025. This event serves as both a rehearsal and a joyful gathering in anticipation of Confirmation Sunday, which will take place the following week.

As we prepare to celebrate the Confirmation of our young members, we invite all 10th grade confirmands and their families to come together for a delightful dinner. Dinner will be brought in, allowing everyone to enjoy a meal together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The Confirmation Banquet is not only an opportunity to share a meal but also a time for our confirmands to rehearse and become familiar with the order of service and the sanctuary. It's a chance for them to feel comfortable and confident as they prepare to affirm their faith on Confirmation Sunday, September 28th, 2025.

We encourage all 10th grade confirmands and their families to attend this special event. It's a wonderful way to connect with one another, celebrate the journey of faith, and build a sense of community within our church family.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for the Confirmation Banquet on September 21, 2025. We look forward to sharing this memorable evening with you as we prepare for Confirmation Sunday.

Theme: “Be Anew … You Who Think You Are So Clever!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Sometimes we try to be good and devoted at what we do, and other times we try to be clever, cute, or creative. Yet nothing pays off like discipline, devotion, and faithfulness. The parable of the “shrewd” manager in Luke 16:1-13 reminds us that while cleverness and quick thinking have their place, they cannot substitute for faithfulness. God cannot be fooled—and God doesn’t need to be.

Celebrate a new beginning in The One who is clever and wise, faithful and true, to renew, to lead, and to save!

Worship Highlights:
Scripture: Luke 16:1-13
Message: “Be Anew … You Who Think You Are So Clever!”

Theme: “Time To Follow Through … On A New Beginning!”

Is your spiritual foundation sure and strong, or could it crumble at any time? What are you doing to follow through on your relationship with your Savior, as a disciple, to take up your cross and follow Christ?

Sunday, August 31, 2025 – The Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath … Presume Only This!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Anticipate. We are taught early in life: “try to anticipate.” A puzzle, a story line, a game—we are encouraged to anticipate what happens next. But anticipating is far different from assuming or presuming.

In Luke 14:1, 7–14, Jesus speaks directly to our tendency to presume: presume our place, presume how God does things, presume that we are entitled. Instead, we are invited to take a deep, fresh breath and presume only this—that our place is assured thanks to the saving, ever-present power and grace of Jesus Christ.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 14:1, 7–14

• Message: “Take A Breath … Presume Only This!”

• Part of Our Pentecost Series: “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath”

Sunday, August 24, 2025 – The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath … Good Question, Better Question!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Why do we do what we do? Good question. Why does God do what God does? Better question. Why do we question what God does? Good question. Why do we not let God be God? Better question.

In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus heals on the Sabbath—raising good questions and better questions. Why not take a deep, fresh breath and trust anew The One who, in grace, heals all and answers every question?

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 13:10–17

• Message: “Take A Breath … Good Question, Better Question!”

• Part of Our Pentecost Series: “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath”

Sunday, August 10, 2025 – The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath, Easier Said When Done!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Some things sound simple—until you try to do them. In Luke 12:49-56, Jesus speaks of division, urgency, and the cost of discipleship. It’s a reminder that following Christ often feels like one of those “easier said than done” tasks. Yet with God’s grace, the hard work of faith becomes possible—and even transformative.

Take a breath. Lean into the challenge. Trust anew in the One who has already done what we could never do alone.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 12:49-56

• Message: “Take A Breath, Easier Said When Done!”

• Series: Part of our Pentecost theme: “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath”

Sunday, August 10, 2025 – The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath, Ready For One Thing!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

We’re often told to “be ready for anything.” But what if God is preparing us for one thing? In Luke 12:32-40, Jesus reminds us to be watchful and expectant—for grace, for the promise, for the moment when faith becomes sight. The call may come at an unexpected hour, but God’s grace is always right on time.

Take a breath. Trust anew. And be ready—not for everything, but for the One thing that changes everything.

Sunday, August 3, 2025 – The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath … Time To Store Up!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

We all keep things in storage — supplies, keepsakes, plans for the future. Being prepared is wise, but Jesus invites us to consider what we are storing up, and why. In Luke 12:13-21, Jesus reminds us that while wealth and possessions can create tension, it is the desires of our hearts that ultimately shape our lives.

Take a deep, fresh breath this week and renew your trust in the One who stores up grace — not for gain, but for your good. God’s grace is always in abundance, always ready, and always enough.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 12:13-21

Sunday, July 27, 2025 – The Seventh Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Breath … Let’s Talk!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

This week, we reflect on the gift and power of prayer — how even a small conversation can deepen our connection with God. In Luke 11:1-13, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray, and Jesus responds with both guidance and encouragement: God hears us, and God is faithful to respond.

As we P.R.A.Y. — Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield — may we take a deep, fresh breath and find renewed trust in the One who listens, speaks, and walks with us.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 11:1-13

This Sunday, we celebrate the conclusion of a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School! The children will help lead worship and share songs from the week, reminding us of the joy and wonder of faith.

In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus gently redirects Martha’s busyness and anxiety, reminding her — and us — that only one thing is truly needed. In a world full of distractions and priorities constantly shifting, Jesus invites us to take a deep, fresh breath and choose the better part: His presence.

You are always Jesus’ number one priority. May that truth center and ground you this week.

Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

As we prepare to kick off Vacation Bible School on Monday morning, we gather for worship this Sunday with a timely reminder: God's grace never passes us by.

In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus shares the parable of The Good Samaritan in response to a question from a lawyer: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” While the world may look the other way, Jesus teaches us to see, stop, and serve—mirroring the very grace God gives us every day.

Sunday, June 22, 2025 – The Second Sunday After Pentecost

Theme: “Take A Deep Breath, See God’s Grace!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | Holy Communion in the Memorial Garden

This Sunday, we continue our summer theme, “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath,” with a focus on opening our eyes and hearts to see God's grace right in front of us.

Our gospel reading, Luke 8:26-39, tells the story of Jesus healing a man possessed by demons—an encounter that reveals both divine power and the difficulty people sometimes have in truly seeing Jesus. While others struggled to recognize him, even the demons knew who he was. As we gather, may we take a deep breath and recognize once more the presence and grace of Jesus in our lives.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: Luke 8:26-39 – Jesus heals and restores

• Holy Communion – Following the offering, we will move outdoors to share Holy Communion together in the Memorial Garden

• Continued Pentecost Theme – “Take A Deep Breath, See God's Grace”

Sunday, June 15, 2025 – Holy Trinity Sunday

Theme: “Take A Breath, A Full Deep Breath”
Worship at 9:30 a.m.

This Holy Trinity Sunday, we continue our summer worship theme, “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath,” by focusing on the mystery, power, and grace of The Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

In John 16:12-15, Jesus speaks of the Spirit who will guide us into all truth. The fullness of the Trinity is revealed as God continues to be present with us in every breath we take—creating, redeeming, sustaining. In this sacred mystery, we are filled with divine presence like no other.

Worship Highlights:

• Scripture: John 16:12-15 – Jesus promises the guiding Spirit

• Holy Trinity Reflection – Celebrating God’s presence in every breath

• Continued Pentecost Theme – “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath”

In Person: Worship at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Lakeville, MN

Come, breathe deeply in the presence of our Triune God, and be renewed by the fullness of grace and truth.
