Dear Church Family,
Is it acceptable to question God? Why does it seem like your prayers go unanswered? Why does He allow suffering and hardship to affect you and your loved ones, or anyone in the world? Is there a limit to what He expects you to endure? Do you feel guilty for questioning God or His actions? Does questioning Him mean you’ve lost your faith? Is there a difference between having questions for God and losing trust in Him?
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Caleb delves into the book of Job, guiding us through profound questions like these and helping us find peace in God’s Word. We’ll also have the opportunity to welcome PreK families from DSA who will be coming to worship with us and watch their PreK kids sing two songs for us after the sermon. Sure to put a smile on your face!

Hurricane Relief – WELS Christian Aid and Relief. Many church members across our South Atlantic District and here in Florida have suffered significant damage to homes and property as a result of Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton. To give a gift in support of disaster relief efforts, please visit wels.net/CARgift and designate your gift for Disaster Relief. WELS Christian Aid and Relief is in contact with all our district congregations and leaders coordinating efforts. This is a great way to help those impacted especially while first responders and linesmen are still hard at work assessing and helping in the immediate aftermath.
Our Giving to the Lord: Click here to give an offering. You can make a one-time special gift or set up recurring gifts as well. Please note also that the opportunity to pledge and give toward “$2,025 for 3 Years” is for offerings over and above regular, recurring giving.
Pastor Ben Has a Call – This week I received a call from CrossWalk Lutheran Ministries in Phoenix, AZ to be the pastor of their Midtown church campus in Phoenix. It’s an urban mission church setting. What does this mean? It’s another opportunity to listen, learn, pray, and ultimately decide where I think I can best glorify God and serve in His kingdom at this time. Sarah and I gladly welcome any feedback you have and, as always, we invite your prayers. Thank you for being our family in Christ!
College Ministry – Are you or do you know a college student in the Miami area? Our DSC College Ministry group encourages college students to learn, live, and lead for Christ. Join us for our next Bible study on Sunday, October 20 at 5:00 PM at Divine Savior Church. Questions? Contact Musumeno for more info.
God is growing our family! – Have you noticed new faces at worship or in the Bible study group that you participate in? God is bringing us new people all the time and our church family is growing! It is exciting to see the blessings of increased attendance at 3 separate worship services and more and more people engaged in our spiritual growth opportunities. Are you willing to serve once a month or more on one of our volunteer teams to help welcome guests or support our ministry in some way? Click here to show us where you might be interested in serving! Have questions? Contact Staff Minister Becky.
