As part of
our VBS
program, the
children,
their
families,
and VBS
staff share
God’s Love
with people
in need
through the
collection
of an
offering for
the VBS
Mission
Project.
This year’s
Mission
Project
partnered
with
Interfaith
Community
Outreach’s
Cancer
Outreach
program,
raising
$1000 for
this local
organization.
Through
ICO’s
Outreach
program,
cancer
patients and
their
families
receive
financial
assistance
to use for
paying
bills, as
well as
travel
reimbursement
for their
doctor
visits.
Thank you
for your
support!

Altar Flowers:
Two People Can Sign
Up Each Week
Two arrangements can
be placed on the
altar, so two
people/families can
sign up for each
Sunday.
You can choose a
date on the Flower
Chart in the back of
the church and write
your name on the
line next to that
date. Two
people/families can
sign up on each
line. You can
designate the
flowers to be "In
Honor of (a person's
name)" or "In Memory
of (a person's
name)" or "In Memory
of Loved Ones" or
"With Thanksgiving
to God for (an
anniversary or a
birthday or any
special occasion)”
or "To the Glory of
God." Just write
your designation
next to your name.
The cost is $30 per
arrangement and you
can make a check
payable to Grace
Lutheran Church
By-The-Sea and put
it in an envelope
marked "Flowers for
(write the date you
signed up for here)"
and put it in the
offering plate on
Sunday morning. If
you make specific
requests for your
arrangement, the
cost is $50.
On the day that your
flowers are on the
altar, when the
service is over, you
can take the flowers
(not the container
or the oasis) home
to enjoy them! Stay
tuned for possible
updates on the
container protocol.
Grace is thankful to
Nags Head Florist
for arranging the
altar flowers each
week.

Today's Devotions
are sent out every
day. If you haven't
started already, you
can start reading
now! It's
never too late to
begin reading
through the Bible
together...
|
|
This year's daily
devotions are
leading all of us to
read through the
entire Bible. To
read through the
Bible in 365 days
you need to read
about three and a
quarter chapters or
about eighty-five
verses a day. I am
listing the day's
reading then writing
a devotion on part
or all of the
reading. If you join
in reading, you will
read through the
Bible in a year and
be highly blessed.

Readings for Sunday,
July 25, 2021
The Old Testament
reading is from
Genesis 9:8-17.
The Psalm reading is
Psalm 136:1-9, 26.
The Epistle reading
is from Ephesians
3:14-21.
The Holy Gospel is
from Mark 6:45-56.
The Sermon Text is
from Mark 6:45-56.
45 Immediately He
made His disciples
get into the boat
and go before Him to
the other side, to
Bethsaida, while He
dismissed the crowd.
46 And after He had
taken leave of them,
He went up on the
mountain to pray. 47
And when evening
came, the boat was
out on the sea, and
He was alone on the
land. 48 And He saw
that they were
making headway
painfully, for the
wind was against
them. And about the
fourth watch of the
night He came to
them, walking on the
sea. He meant to
pass by them, 49 but
when they saw Him
walking on the sea
they thought it was
a ghost, and cried
out, 50 for they all
saw Him and were
terrified. But
immediately He spoke
to them and said,
“Take heart; it is
I. Do not be
afraid.” 51 And He
got into the boat
with them, and the
wind ceased. And
they were utterly
astounded, 52 for
they did not
understand about the
loaves, but their
hearts were
hardened. 53 When
they had crossed
over, they came to
land at Gennesaret
and moored to the
shore. 54 And when
they got out of the
boat, the people
immediately
recognized Him 55
and ran about the
whole region and
began to bring the
sick people on their
beds to wherever
they heard He was.
56 And wherever He
came, in villages,
cities, or
countryside, they
laid the sick in the
marketplaces and
implored Him that
they might touch
even the fringe of
His garment. And as
many as touched it
were made well.
