The Two Covenants by Andrew Murray

Compares the Old Covenant with the New Covenant and shows us the blessings God has

given us, along with the 'conditions' (not works) necessary for the full and continual experience

of those blessings.

Hope to see you Thursday!!

As God called the prophets and as Jesus called the disciples, the Holy Spirit has called us — to

Open our ears to your words, Lord, and open our hearts to your guidance.

Please welcome back Janice Locke LLM, (a brief biography)

I am a life-long Lutheran and I have been a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Farmington

Hills for 26 years. Prior to that I was a baptized and confirmed member of Grace Lutheran in

Redford (an LCMS congregation).

I have been a Registered Nurse for almost 38 years and the last 29 years I have been a Nurse

Practitioner working with the elderly. I currently work full time as a Nurse Practitioner at Fox

Run Senior Living – a full service senior community in Novi.

I completed the Southeast Michigan Synod Licensed Lay Ministry program about 2 years ago

and have been serving as the ministry associate at St. John Lutheran Church in Farmington

Hills since then.

I am currently in the candidacy process with the Southeast Michigan Synod and have been ac-

cepted to attend United Lutheran Seminary. I hope to begin classes in the Fall with the goal of

becoming an ordained minister of word and sacrament.

Affectionately yours

St. Valentine, a Roman priest, was martyred in 270 A.D. for loving Jesus. Some sources say he

performed weddings after the emperor banned them; others say he rescued Christians from Ro-

man prisons. Two centuries later, the pope declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day.

According to legend, the priest signed his letters “Your Valentine.” Later, Christians followed

suit to honor him. By the mid-1700s, friends and sweethearts exchanged heart-shaped trinkets or

sent handwritten notes of affection on February 14.

Love is a fruit of the

Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. Identify another

fruit that can make Val-entine’s Day — and every day — special.

First, write a word that fits each clue below. Then unscramble the

letters from the bold, vertical column to find

another fruit of the Spirit. Write it on the

blanks below.
