Dear Friends,
Greetings to you in the powerful name of Jesus the Christ!
“Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice!” Philippians 4: 4
It is time to Celebrate! “Celebrate! Celebrate God’s Love! Celebrate Shout and Sing! Celebrate! Celebrate God’s Love! Declare It Joyfully!” Yes now is the time to Celebrate! Even though Christmas has come and gone – Now is the time to Celebrate! Even though we are in the middle of winter with short days and long nights – Now is the time to Celebrate! Even though the Green Bay Packers did not make it to the Super Bowl – Now is the time to Celebrate! What am I talking about? It is time to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the very first worship service at Atonement Lutheran Church. It was a cold winter day with a fair amount of snow on the ground when over 278 people gathered to Celebrate! The date was February 25, 1962. There where people from Calvary, Trinity, Grace and other Lutheran Churches in the area that joined us on that special day to Celebrate the start of a new ministry!
It is time to gather once again to celebrate what God has done in the past and to look forward to the future and what God will continue to do in and through the Atonement community. You are invited to come to a special Party to Celebrate our 50th Anniversary on Saturday – February 25th at 6:00PM. This is going to be a party! Come ready to CELEBRATE! There will be food and drink and story telling and prayer! Yes it is time to have a Party to give thanks for all that God has done!
REJOICE IN THE LORD!! See what good things God has done and continues to do at Atonement! See you at the Party on Saturday – February 25, 2012!
In Christ,
Pastor Jim Gerth (P.J.)
