ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Taina Feher in celebration of her mother’s 91st birthday.
A REMINDER OF GOD’S PROVISION AND LOVE The extra bouquet of roses on the altar are from the 140+ roses around our church campus. They are a reminder of God’s eternal love for us.
ADVICE FOR THE COMMON CUP If you receive Communion using the “Common Cup” / Chalice, it would help Pastor immensely if you’d grab onto the bottom of the Chalice and guide it to your mouth, tipping it back until you have received enough. Pastor will also continue to hold onto the cup to steady it. Thanks!
NEXT SUNDAY You won’t want to miss the baptism of Eleanor Paige Campbell, infant daughter of Beth and Mike, at the start of our 10:00 a.m. service.
DONATIONS FOR THE MISSION PROJECT AT MADISON SCHOOL Congregation members interested in providing funding for Madison Elementary School supplies can still contribute. Gifts can be given to Carol Numrich today after church. The contributions have allowed us to provide folders to hold class projects, pencils and pens, erasers, chalk board pens, etc. Plus all of the other supplies provided by members. We are in need of funding for paper towels, chalk board erasers, and additional school items. Thanks to all of you for your gifts of love, caring and support. Education can change the world.
