God Acts in His Own Way (and Not Our Way) … By Grace Sunday, October 16 th

Welcome to St. Peter! What is our God like? In today’s gospel lesson, the Church hears Jesus tell a parable that reveals one of God’s characteristics: he acts in his own way, and by grace! Not only does God not give us what we deserve, he also gives us what we don’t deserve. Our God is inconceivably gracious! May God bless you as you worship your gracious God.

Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each row. Please take a moment to give us your information so that we have a record of your time with us today. Thank you!

For Our Guests If you have questions, let us try to help. Speak with an usher, greeter, or the person next to you. If you’d like to learn more about St. Peter and its ministry, please talk to a pastor or member after the service.

Prayer before Worship God, your grace is amazing, and your mercies to me are new each and every morning. As I worship you, please bless me. Open my ears to your words of grace, and my heart to your Holy Spirit. I ask for this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please be courteous and silence all pagers and cell phones. Thank you
