Sunday in Sunday School
In Sunday School Sunday the children learned how
each of us is like the lame beggar as we stand
before God (Acts 3). Yet through the means of grace,
God's Word and Sacraments, God bestows on us what
Christ accomplished on the cross: forgiveness of
sins. In your family discussions, talk about what it
means to have the "forgiveness of sins."

blessing to others and be blessed by Seniors living

to myself." (John 14:3)
