Can pray God would heal cancer and sfi. Encephalopathy

Would that be Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox?

@@bigniftydudeCatholic not necessarily the Roman rite there is eastern, Byzantine ect...all recognizing the Pope authority and infallibility concerning Faith and morals. There is a link to all rites. www.churchpop.com/content/images/wordpress/2018/08/rites-2.jpg

​@@bigniftydude either one of them could be, it judt fastly shift the focus. The catholic church is focussed on being the most universal, powerful church. The orthodox churches main focus is being as incorrupt as possible. I personally chose the Orthodox truth and I feel like that is the one true church. May the Lord be with you all, Amen.

The Lenten fast has it's origins in the Canons of Nicea (325 AD). Thankfully there are no pagan roots to it!

@@Hainzbeans I disagree concerning pagan roots.

​@@stevenlindsey2056 Most claims of Christians taking pagan holidays and making them their own are actually incorrect. If you were to look at primary sources you'll see it was the pagans who took the Christian holiday and made it their own or they are purely coincidental, a great example of this would be Christmas and Saturnalia. The Pagan Romans took Christmas and made it into a holiday commemorating their idols, we can read about that in first hand sources like the "Res Gestae" by Ammianus Marcellinu where Emperor Julian complains about people converting away from their pagan deities and start following Christ which he blames on the lack of new activities regarding worship of them. Overall Christianity is not a syncretic religion quite the opposite it looks at different Gods with distrust we can see that in Scripture (for ex. Pslam 115:1-8 ). And even if it were the case that any Christian holiday has pagan roots that doesn't change the fact we don't worship Saturn, Zeus, Baal, Odin or whoever we only worship The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

With the exception of Luther's Te Deum that we use once a week, every service follows an order in our hymnal, the Lutheran Service Book. You can find the page number in the description of the video, and in the first few minutes on-screen of each broadcast. The page number for the hymn is also included.

Purchase an LSB.

Your pastor may be able to lend you one from church for you to use at home.

As it is the end of summer, many of our staff are on vacation. Either way, chapel attendance is not required and it is a blessing to have those here that choose to attend voluntarily.
