The Divine Service for the Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost and Heritage Fest. Do you remember the first time you tried to thread a needle, perhaps as a child? Did you think it was impossible, but then it finally went through? Jesus lays out an absurd possibility of a grown camel threaded through a needle, and that is easier than a rich person’s salvation. It isn’t any easier for the poor or middle class, either. So who can be saved? No one. So God does the impossible for us in Christ Jesus. He is our substitute so that salvation is not only possible, but guaranteed!

Today is Immanuel’s 26th annual heritage fest. Chuck Thiel and the Jolly Ramblers have been providing old time/polka music for a generation and they bring their musical talents to praise God with the style of music that many in rural America with European heritage grew up with.
