We know Apple will be releasing the next Operating System (OS) soon. This is MacOS 11 and called Big Sur. Please DO NOT UPGRADE TO IT!

It is a major upgrade/change and as of right now some of the software we use will need time to get their software compatible with the OS. 

We will send out an email when it is O.K. to upgrade, but we cannot stress this enough, DO NOT UPGRADE to Big Sur (MacOS 11).

If you missed the swim meeting or did not sign in at the meeting, please click on this LINK and be very aware of the due dates.  (3/2)

In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus is Friend of sinners. He wants to bring sinners close to Himself so that He can save them. He wants all men to be saved! That's why Jesus comes! He rejoices to do His Father's will, and His Father's will is that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.

Judas is proof of this. Judas was a thief. Judas loved money more than Jesus. Jesus let Judas have what he wanted, exactly what Judas wanted, even if that wasn't Jesus. Unconditional love! Jesus put Judas in charge of the money purse. So it's not surprising then that Judas sold his Friend, his Teacher, his Lord and God, for 30 pieces of silver. Judas' god was silver and gold--a dead god. "Those who make them become like them" (Psalm 115:8). So Judas "went out and hanged himself" (Matthew 27:5).

Judas had bad pastors--the priests told him to fix his own sins. But the Lord wants pastors who will preach about how the Lord Himself has taken care of sins, even Judas'. Yours, too--things worth far less than 30 pieces of silver. But Jesus paid for them--blood shed, life given, tomb empty! Jesus died and rose and Matthias was added to preach that message with the Eleven because Matthias was also "a witness of His resurrection."

Jesus is Friend of sinners. He wants to save them. Not just the likes of Matthias in the world--faithful ones. Not just the likes of Peter and the other Eleven. Even the likes of Judas. He loves and dies for those who'd rather have their other gods. Unconditional love! "God is Love" (1 John 4:8). "While we were sinners Christ died for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6).

Jesus wants to be your Friend, your Savior, your Lord and God. He is! Dead God, risen God. For-you God. Jesus brings His salvation to you through your pastor in Baptism, in sermons, in the Supper of Jesus' Body and Blood. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
