Nehemiah 2:1-9; 18-19

1 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was served him, I carried the wine and gave it to the king. Now, I had never been sad in his presence before. 2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This can only be sadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid. 3 I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my ancestors’ graves, lies waste and its gates have been destroyed by fire?” 4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 Then I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor with you, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my ancestors’ graves, so that I may rebuild it.” 6 The king said to me (the queen also was sitting beside him), “How long will you be gone, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me, and I set him a date. 7 Then I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may grant me passage until I arrive in Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, directing him to give me timber to make beams for the gates of the temple fortress and for the wall of the city and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the gracious hand of my God was upon me. 9 Then I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent officers of the army and cavalry with me.

17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer suffer disgrace.” 18 I told them that the hand of my God had been gracious upon me and also the words that the king had spoken to me. Then they said, “Let us start building!” So they committed themselves to the common good.

2025 Stewardship

Each fall, we ask everyone to make a tangible commitment of their time and resources for the upcoming year. This helps us to better plan for the ways in which we feel God calling us to serve together, and it helps us to responsibly steward our resources in order to fund those ministries.

Commitment Sunday will be Sunday, October 27th, where we will be presenting our pledge cards as an act of worship. In the weeks ahead, please read through the booklet and consider your investment of time, talent, and treasure.

Staying Connected

Trunk or Treat 2024

We’ll gather at church to hand out candy, hang out around the bonfire, and share God’s love with our community. In addition to handing out candy, we’ll be having hot dogs and s’mores! We'll also be having a contest for the top 3 most festive trunks! Lastly, if you own a canopy, please bring it...just in case it rains!

How can you get involved?

1) Volunteer to provide a trunk! This is the most important part – you cannot have a Trunk or Treat without trunks! It’s actually quite simple: just decorate your trunk or truck bed and hand out candy. There are dozens of great ideas online. If this feels a little daunting, join up with a friend to do a trunk together!

2) Donate candy. If you cannot be there that night, you can always donate candy or money to purchase candy. This will be used to supplement the candy that each trunk provides.

3) Help with dinner. We’ll need lots of folks to assist with hotdogs and marshmallow roasting. It will take all of our combined efforts to make this a memorable event, so please consider which way you want to get involved!

The Ecumenical Files

Tuesdays in October | 10:00 am | Room 3

Tapestry and Risen Lord Lutheran churches are embarking on a new chapter of

co-ownership of the property of 3756 W. Whiteland Road in Bargersville, Indiana. People say what we’re doing is ecumenical. What does that even mean? Join us as we share scripture, prayer, stories and reflections from special guests about being ecumenical. Chances are we know more than we think we do about ecumenism. For more information, email Pastor Wendy at pastorwendy@risenlordlc.org. All are welcome to attend. Invite a friend to join you!

Thanks to everyone who joined us on October 6th for World Communion Sunday!
