Church Notes for July 6, 2025

 

(VFM) THE VISUAL FAITH MINISTRY theme for 2025 is A Year in the Psalms. In July we’ll mediate on Psalm 84: Craving and delighting in the presence of God! All women are invited to a one-hour zoom event on July 8th at 7:00 p.m. for this unique approach to scripture. We will meet in the fellowship hall to participate together. Please prayerfully consider attending.

 

PORTALS OF PRAYER (July – September) are still available. Sizes are becoming limited! Pick up your copy under the mailboxes, or on the table in the Fellowship Hall. 

 

Six Month Calendars (July-December) are on the table in the Fellowship Hall.  Please pick up your copy today.

 

The August Calendar is posted on the rolling bulletin board.  If there are any dates in August you are not available to volunteer, please write your name on those dates.  Thank you!

 

 

Thank You for Your Prayers Quotes ...

 

John Curnyn, Alana’s husband, has finished his treatments and is doing well. 

 

Mark Harmening, Rita Pedersen’s brother, is doing really well!

 

Building Healthy Families: Parents, grandparents and pew buddies! Martin Luther reportedly once said something to the effect of “When you wash your face, remember your baptism!” With warmer temperatures and (sometimes) more relaxed schedules, this time of year brings with it an increase in swimming, running through sprinklers and otherwise splashing about in various water sources. As you and your family are refreshed by such water play, take the opportunity to remind one another that you’re baptized and beloved children of God, washed in the waters of Holy Baptism, and “heirs having the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:5-7).

Announcements & Prayers. If you have any information to put into the Announcements or need someone added to Prayers, please contact Linda in the office by phone 515-386-3517.

 

When Putting Names on the Prayer List we will keep them on there until you let us know that you feel you are ready to have them removed. Please let Linda know by Monday if there are any changes. If we need to add someone during the week let us know and we will send out an extra prayer request. Thank you for helping with this.
