Elder-led Prayer, Church Family Meeting, Men's Sunday School (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/23)

The next Elder-led Prayer is this Wednesday from 6 to 7 pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can place them in the prayer requests box on the table at the back of the church, use the Connections card, or submit them online.

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll be looking at the Spirit-filled life. God sent the gift of the Holy Spirit to help us become the people He created us to be.

Our next Church Family Meeting is next Sunday right after the church service. We have a lot of great info to share and also a Board of Directors election. All members are asked to attend.

Since our theme is "Make Disciples: Helping Others Follow Jesus", we want to equip you, especially men, to be better at discipling. Starting in August, I will be teaching our Men's Sunday School class on how to lead family devotions and study the Bible. All men (married & single) are invited to join us on first Sundays in Adult Classroom 3.

As we've talked (in Bible Study) about living in community, we saw how the young church in Acts would sell their possessions to make sure that members had what they needed. We have two members in need for housing (a single mom & young brother). So our love offering next Sunday will go to help these members. Please come prepared to give generously. If you're ready to give today, you can give to the love offering but make a note on it saying "Members Assistance".

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
