AP E-News
Good morning AP Members and Friends,
We continue listening to Jesus teach us what it means to be a Christian. His words can be hard to hear and may even hurt, but they are always meant to heal and to help us in our walk with Jesus.
This Sunday at Five Forks we will consider the duties and responsibilities to which we are called as Christians that can challenge us, but which we gladly and joyfully embrace by faith because we trust in a Savior who did his "duty" for us and now lives to empower us. Come and hear more.

Prayer Notes:
- Let's pray for our four worker training schools that we support with our congregational mission offerings (CMO).
1. Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS) - where our pastors are trained.
2. Martin Luther College (MLC) - our college of ministry for our teachers and pre-seminary students.
3. Luther Prep (LPS)- a preparatory high school that has a specific curriculum that prepares students for MLC and ministry
4. Michigan Lutheran Seminary (MLS) - the other preparatory high school
The governing boards of these four schools are meeting this week. It's good for us to ask the Lord to bless the students, families, professors and staff with a great year of learning and growth in God's word and in the path toward ministry, and we pray that many of those students become pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who serve the Lord in full-time public gospel ministry.
