Our Father's Gift of Love
 
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. 1 John 3:1 (ESV)
 
OK, we confess that there aren't many Lutheran churches left like ours. We aren't here to entertain you with bands, dancers, theatrical performances, and flashy computer presentations. We are here to tell you about the love of God the Father for us. Our Father's is a congregation of sinners that acknowledges that though I am the chief of sinners Jesus shed His blood for me. We have been brought together by the Father's love to be declared His holy children. Each week we gather in the Divine Service to hear the message that the Father sent His Son for us men and for our salvation. We invite you to join us each week to hear more about the Father's love for all people.
 
 
Training the Children of Our Father
 
That message of the Father's love is also faithfully taught in our Lutheran school so that our children may grow in faith and serve their neighbor in love. Our school offers a traditional education with a strong foundation in Lutheran doctrine. We focus on mathematics, grammar, history and science in addition to the memorization of Holy Scripture and Luther's Small Catechism.
 
We also support Martin Luther High School to train our children in faith toward God and love toward neighbor.

Blogging Ghana Day 1/2

The trip to Ghana was uneventful. In New York there was much excitement about the approaching storm. In typical flight to Africa form it took 2.5 hours to load the plane so we left NYC 1.5 hours late. The lateness was due to disputes about carryon luggage and seat assignments. Some had boarded the plane without seats. We were still on time to Ghana because of a tailwind.

After a frequently interrupted night of sleep, I awoke to find there was no water pressure. Twenty minutes before my driver was to come the water was restored. I took a much needed shower, threw on mhy clothes, and then waited for my driver who was twenty minutes late.

It was good to worship with the people of Trinity in Tema again. I preached on Matthew 13:44-52 from the Kingdom parables of Matthew. I emphasized God's great love in seeing us as His treasure and pearl that He buys with the blood of His Son.

After a wondrous feast of Red Red and fresh, sweet pineapple, my driver returned me to the Triple Crown. I will now start preparing for class tomorrow. I have a computer and internet access this year so I will try to do daily posts.

May the love of Chirst dwell with each of you. Your servant in Christ, Pastor Fabrizius
