Stewardship Bible Study Scheduled
Every communicant member of Living Word should plan to attend our Stewardship Bible study entitled Heart in Focus. It is a comprehensive, practical study that shows Christians what our Savior means to us and how to use the many blessings God has given us. You will learn about financial tools and strategies that will enable you to make wise use of your blessings.
For the first 6 Sundays in 2010, the Adult Bible Study class will begin at 8:45 (instead of the usual 9:00) and will be devoted to this Heart in Focus study. Parents may have their children (ages 4 through 5th grade) attend Sunday School at the same time, and babysitting is available for younger children.
A Wednesday evening Heart in Focus study will be held at Summit Woods, starting at 7:00 P.M., for those unable to attend the Sunday morning class.
Learning, Living, and Sharing God's Word
We are all about God's Word - first learning it, then living it, and also sharing it. God's Word is all about Jesus. Jesus is all about us and you. Yes, really. Give us a chance to explain. Browse these pages to see what we're about in more detail. Contact us if you have questions or just want to talk. That's one of the ways we love to share.
Living Word Lutheran Church, located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is a congregation of about 175 Christians primarily seeking people who do not yet know of their need for Jesus. Living Word is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).
Until we have a facility of our own, we meet weekly at Rose Glen Elementary School (map) to worship God who is our Creator and Savior.
Feel free to contact Pastor John Borgwardt if you have questions about Living Word and our ministry in southwest Waukesha.
Living Word Purchases More Land
On Wednesday, March 25, 2009, Living Word closed on the purchase of an additional 3.7 acres adjacent to (south and west of) our original 3.3 acres of land across the road from Waukesha West High School. The total area (approximately) is shown shaded in red in the picture at the left.
During the next several months, various committees will be active in making plans for the design and construction of the building or buildings to be erected at the site and in gathering funds needed to pay for and maintain the facility.
Living Word will use these facilities to further community outreach and to continue to implement the stated mission of sharing God's Word especially with those who have yet to hear about it.
More information will be published here in the coming months as work on this project progresses.
If you have specific questions about the purchase or future plans, please contact Pastor John Borgwardt.
With You God Is Well Pleased
Two years ago a man from Belgium named Patrick Geryl quit his job after saving up just enough money to last him until December 2012. Why December 2012? He believed some scholars who say that an ancient Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which they say means that the world as we know it will come to an end. Movies have been made about it. ABC News, USA Today and the History Channel have all run stories on it. So it must be true, right?
Oh, I should add that other scholars predict that the end of the Mayan calendar will mean that something really good will happen on that day.
And still other scholars, and most normal people, just don't care.
Frankly, with all the "experts" and "scholars" these days making predictions about the H1N1 pandemic or global warming or the Y2K computer disaster 10 years ago, while other experts in the same field say something directly contradictory, or one study that shows all fat is bad and you should avoid it all and another study two months later that says all fat is good and you should eat as much as you can get your hands on, I tend to wonder which "expert" to believe. Some are right; some are wrong; some are a mixture of the two.
Unless that expert is God. God's predictions have been right 100% of the time. So when he tells us about the future, we should listen. more...
