Please pray for the following:

· Praise God for a successful marching band concert!

· Praise God that one of the girls in my community group decided to follow Jesus during Encounter! Please pray that she will grow deeper in her relationship with Him.

· Pray for students who have been experiencing a lot of change and transition.

· Pray for wisdom for all of the community group leaders as we seek to minister to the students in the best way possible.

· Pray for me as I teach band and prepare for the Christmas concert this term.

Thank you for your partnership with this Wycliffe ministry!

In Christ,

Pastor Luther Thoresen, has served several Lutheran Churches in his 39 years of ministry, most recently serving the congregation of American Lutheran Church, in Grundy Center. He began his ministry at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wheaton, IL, where he and his wife, Paula served for 6 years. From Illinois, the Thoresen family moved to Ruthven, IA where they served Zion and Lost Island Lutheran Churches for 24 Years. Luther and Paula moved to Grundy Center in 2011 to serve at American, and they are making their home here.

In the words of Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven.” Pastor Luther, as he is known, will begin a ‘new season,’ as he retires on September 30, from full-time ministry. A card shower is planned to celebrate this milestone. Greetings may be sent to Pastor Thoresen and his wife Paula, at American Lutheran Church, 1103 F Avenue, or their home at 806 M Avenue, Grundy Center, Iowa 50638

They would enjoy hearing from you!

Pastor Luther
