When Cora is savagely
murdered, the extraordi-
nary remark she made
the previous day at her
brother’s funeral takes
on a chilling signifi-
cance. At the reading of
Richard’s will Cora was
clearly heard to say, “It’s
been hushed up very
nicely, hasn’t it...But he
was murdered, wasn’t
he?” In desperation, the
family solicitor turns to
Hercule Poirot to unravel
what happened next.
Published in 1953 and
appearing in the United
Sates under the title Fu-
nerals are Fatal, Christie
dedicated the novel to
her nephew, James Watt
III “in memory of happy
days at Abney.” her sis-
ter’s family home.
Copies of the book can
be found in the Confer-
ence Room (office wing).
The Book Club will meet

ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
Christ' (2 Peter 3:18). But what
do we mean by “Growing in
Christ” and how do we grow?
Do we need to? What is nec-
essary and what obstacles are
there to growth?
These are some of the ques-
tions that will be addressed
and show that God's salvation
in Christ goes much further
than to forgive our sins and
give us a right to enter His
eternal kingdom. Spiritual
growth is not just desirable
but essential. To grow in
Christ we will need to love
what Christ loves and hate
what He hates, putting aside
our old ways and putting on
new ways and attitudes.
As physical growth is a sign of
life and health in the natural
world, so spiritual growth is a
sign of spiritual life and
health. God has made the nat-
ural world to reflect the spir-
itual. Growth is a sign of life
and health. Growth is not an
option but a necessity and
requires both what we need to
have and what we need to
avoid.
Our theme for the 2016-17
Church Activity Year is
“Growing in Christ.” On Sun-
day’s all ages will be focused
on “Growing in Christ.” In the
apostle Peter's second letter
we are encouraged to 'grow in
the grace and knowledge of
our Lord and Savior Jesus
Through the cross of Christ
we are not only saved from
the penalty of sin but also its
power. The good news is that
in Christ God has given us,
by His grace, everything we
need to grow in Him and be-
come a holy people, not only
to ensure our entrance into
His eternal kingdom but also
that we might know peace
and joy now to His praise and
glory.
I can’t wait for our “Growing
in Christ” together here at
Zion!!
Peace and Joy!
