Dear church family and friends, I want to thank you so very much for everything
you have done for me and David during my illness. Between the shingles and the
infection, it was a long hard road for me. I would have never made it without you!
Thank you for all of your prayers, cards, phone calls, food, and help around the
house! All of it was so greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless each and every
one of you.
Judy and David
THANK YOU!! We want to thank all of you for being such gracious hosts to the
Homestead Harmonizers and their wives. We heard many compliments from the
group about the friendly people, the great acoustics in the sanctuary and of course
the wonderful food! We always tell the guys that Pella has the best potlucks and
once again Pella proved us right! Pella once again is the potluck king for the
Homestead Harmonizers. Thank You!
Dave, Gary, Jeff, Jay & the Homestead Harmonizers

in November, American Lutheran Church in Adams will be hosting an open
forum on the death penalty on Sept. 12 at 7pm with a panel of varying views. The
goal of the forum is to inform and help people deliberate. If you come, participate,
and change your mind--great. If you come, participate, and are convinced you were
right from the start--great. The event is open to the public. All are welcome.

God’s Remedy For America
September 11, 2016
“and turn from their wicked ways”
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 (NLT)
1. We must _____________________ with humility.
“will humble themselves”
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6 (NIV)
“If you hide your sins, you will not succeed. But if you confess and reject them,
you will receive mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 (NCV)
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you
may be healed.”
James 5:16 (NIV)
2. We must _____________ with tenacity.
“and pray”
“Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer, being alert and intent
in your praying with thanksgiving.”
Colossians 4:2 (AMP)
Pray in the Spirit at all times with all kinds of prayers, asking all you need. To
do this you must always be ready and never give up! Always pray for all God’s
people.
Ephesians 6:18 (NCV)
3. We must ____________ God with intensity.
“and seek My face”
“. . .God rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6b (NIV)
“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given
to you as well.”
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
“If you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all
your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things
have happened to you, you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For
He is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you. . . "
Deuteronomy 4:29-31a (NIV)
“People will love only themselves, and be greedy for money. They will be
boastful and arrogant, insulting to God, rebellious against parents, and
ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They’ll be unloving, and
unforgiving; they will enjoy slandering others, and have no self-control; they
will be cruel, and will despise anyone and anything that is good. They will
betray their friends, and impulsively do foolish things. They will be inflated
with self-conceit, and love pleasure more than God.
They will claim to be spiritual but will reject the power that could make them
godly. Stay away from people like this.”
