SUMMARY:St. Michael’s Day
DESCRIPTION:The Church commemorates St. Michael and All Angels each year on Sept. 29. \n“Fear not.” So every angel begins his speech in the Scriptures. They are the fearsome warriors of the Most High God\, commanded by Michael the Archangel\, forming the “Sabbaoth\,” the armies of the Lord. And yet\, they are given this office as His heavenly legate: to announce the good news of great joy in Christ Jesus\, incarnate\, risen and ascended\, all for us mortals. Christ’s warriors and messengers are set to guard duty for His Christians. Their unseen eyes draw us to follow their gaze\, “for they always behold the face of the Father\, who is in heaven” (Matt. 18:10). \nHow is Michael a “Saint”?\nThe word “saint” simply means “holy one.” We often use this word to describe those Christians who have departed this life in the faith. The New Testament most often uses it to address Christians in the Church on earth (Rom. 1:7\, 1 Cor. 1:2\, Eph. 1:1\, etc.). Michael and the angels of God are not humans “sanctified in Christ Jesus” (1 Cor. 1:2)\, but they are “holy angels” — holy just as God created them and as the Scriptures describe them (Mark 8:38\, Acts 10:22\, Rev. 14:10). \n\nLiturgical color for St. Michael’s Day\nWhite is the color of purity and completeness and the color for all major feasts of Christ.  This color\, used primarily during these Sundays\, assists in bearing the message that “though your sins be as scarlet\, they shall be white as snow.” Christ’s triumph from the grave on Resurrection day is the cause for our rejoicing. His purity before his Father becomes our purity. White reinforces that message of joy. \n\nOne-Year Series and Three-Year Series\nScripture readings\n\nDaniel 10:10–14; 12:1–3\n\n\nRev.12:7–12\n\n\nMatt. 18:1–11 or Luke 10:17–20\n\nLectionary summary\nOur Father in Heaven Protects His Children by Giving His Holy Angels Charge Over Them\nWe live in “a time of trouble” (Dan. 12:1)\, in the midst of great tribulation. Satan and his wicked angels have been thrown out of heaven and have come down to earth “in great wrath\,” with woeful “temptations to sin” and with constant accusations (Rev. 12:8–12; Matt. 18:7). Even so\, we are encouraged by the presence and protection of St. Michael and the holy angels\, whom God sends to help us in the strife (Dan. 10:11–13). By “the authority of his Christ\,” His holy angels guard and keep us in body and soul. These heavenly servants of God preserve His human messengers on earth\, the ministers of “the blood of the Lamb\,” against all the power of the enemy\, for by “the word of their testimony\,” the Church is saved and the devil is defeated (Rev. 12:10–11; Luke 10:18–19). By their preaching and Baptism of repentance\, the old Adam and the old evil foe are “drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6). As God raised Christ Jesus from the dead\, so are His people delivered and raised from the dust of the earth through the forgiveness of their sins (Dan. 12:1–3). \nPrayers\n\nSt. Michael and All Angels\n\n\nAttend a service\nTo attend a worship service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation.

SUMMARY:FORO: Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:The FORO concept is simple and its impact is powerful. The word itself is Spanish for “forum.” LCMS International Mission uses FOROs to facilitate networking\, start conversations\, and focus our resources to make disciples of all nations for generations to come. Missionaries don’t only need funding and volunteers. They need relationships. They need support networks. They need people like you to walk with them\, pray with them\, listen to them\, learn from them and stand with them. FOROs help provide that relationship. \nTwice a year\, missionaries gather with partners — people from churches\, organizations schools. They sit down together\, and they talk. They talk about making disciples\, planting Lutheran churches and about mission work. They talk about what’s happening on the ground. About the needs of the people they serve. About what’s working — and what’s not. The missionaries speak\, and the partners listen. Then\, everyone has a chance to respond. \nContact \n\ncard@lcmsintl.org

This event ignited the Protestant Reformation\, and thus the Lutheran church officially commemorates this important anniversary on Oct. 31. \nAs you and your congregation prepare to celebrate this year\, you are invited to use a variety of resources that highlight the history\, theology\, and continued effects of the Reformation today. \nThe Reformation was\, first and foremost\, all about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was then\, and it still is now. The task of reformation never ends. Every person\, in every generation\, needs to hear the Good News of their Savior from sin and eternal death. \nView Reformation resources \n\nLiturgical color for Reformation Day\nThe altar will be adorned with the festive color of red. \n\nThree-Year Series and One-Year Series\nScripture readings\n\nPsalm 46\n\n\nRevelation 14:6–7\n\n\nRomans 3:19–28\n\n\nJohn 8:31–36 or Matthew 11:12–19\n\nLectionary summary\nThe Son of God Has Set Us Free from Sin and Death by His Grace\n“Wisdom is justified by her deeds” (Matt. 11:19)\, and the true Wisdom of God\, Christ Jesus\, the incarnate Son\, has justified us by His deeds. He prepares His way by the preaching of repentance\, but He has suffered the violence of the Law and voluntarily handed Himself over to violent men\, that we might eat and drink with Him in His Kingdom and “remain in the house forever” (John 8:35). He is “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Matt. 11:18–19)\, and He has rescued us by His grace from the slavery of sin and death. By the proclamation of His eternal Gospel “to those who dwell on earth\, to every nation and tribe and language and people” (Rev. 14:6)\, “the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law” (Rom. 3:21)\, “that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26). And by the hearing of that Gospel of Christ Jesus\, “whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood\, to be received by faith” (Rom. 3:25)\, “you will know the truth\, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31–32). \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind church near me

Faith-filled saints from every place and time\, with unified voices\, eternally magnify the Lamb of God. As His beloved children\, we\, too\, “shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:1–3). Joined with the throng of angels and myriad saints\, we shall “serve him day and night in his temple” (Rev. 7:9–17). In our earthly tension vacillating between saint and sinner\, faith and doubt\, sacred and profane\, we earnestly seek Jesus to calm our fears\, comfort our spirits and forgive our sins. The Holy Spirit through faith in Christ propels us forward\, fortifying us in Word and Sacrament\, to our eternal home. In the midst of our constant struggle as believers\, we need to be blessed. And so we are. The poor in spirit\, the meek\, the hungry\, the thirsty\, the merciful\, the pure and the persecuted are all blessed\, and we will most certainly inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:1–12). \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind church near me

SUMMARY:FORO — Jamaica (Omaha\, Neb.)
DESCRIPTION:LCMS International Mission will host a FORO about mission work in Jamaica on Nov. 13-14\, 2025\, in Omaha\, Neb. \nWhat is a FORO?\nA FORO — Spanish for “forum” — fosters relationships between missionaries serving on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and mission partners. The meetings facilitate networking\, start conversations\, and focus resources to make disciples of all nations for generations to come. \nWhen do FOROs occur?\nOnce or twice a year\, LCMS missionaries meet with partners — people from churches\, organizations\, schools\, and partner churches — in their mission field. They discuss strategies to make disciples\, address community needs\, emphasize mutual listening\, and encourage shared decision-making. \nWhy are FOROs needed?\nMissionaries don’t only need funding and volunteers. Missionaries need relationships. They need support networks. They need people to walk with them\, pray with them\, listen to them\, learn from them\, and stand with them. FOROs help provide those relationships. \nTo learn more about FOROs\, visit international.lcms.org/foro. \n\nContact\nRev.
