This Sunday: 

"I Rejoice! Now You Rejoice!"

Philippians 4:2-9

In-person and Live Stream to Facebook at 10:30 AM



Good afternoon church!

Some of you have received spam emails or texts, asking you to give me gift cards or to send me money. Unfortunately, the scammers often receive money/gift cards from trusting and generous people. I will never ask for you to give anything directly like that, except for this one request. Would you consider giving some of your time, not to me, but to your brothers and sisters in Christ, the church?

You see, the staff is not the church. Nor is the building the church. We are the church, together in Christ, when we gather around God’s Word and Sacraments. But in order for us to gather, we need YOUR HELP! We have restarted many aspects of our worship that went away during Covid-19. We have reintroduced the greeting and we once again have fellowship after worship (Fellowship last Sunday was a holy boisterous gathering and I hope to see more of them). Two weeks ago, we welcomed back those who would like to come to the altar to receive communion. Next week, we will reintroduce the offering.

Here's the request! Will you serve your brothers and sisters in Christ in one or more of the following ways? If so, please sign up and join us as the church together!

Thank you for your prayerful consideration of how you can help serve. May God bless you richly through your offerings!
