Church Notes for July 13, 2025

 

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY on July 27th is “Bearing Life’s Burdens…Together from the summer issue of Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. It is found on pages 20-21 or in the mailboxes in the narthex. All women are invited at 8:15 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

 

BE A FRIEND TO SOMEONE AT THE END OF LIFE—Hospice Volunteers Needed: As a volunteer with Care Initiatives Hospice, you will bring presence and companionship to hospice patients in your area. You’ll help address patient needs in meaningful ways such as reading, playing music, playing games, or simply listening. We provide the training you need to begin, and ongoing support as you serve. We have a need for visitors simply to sit with patients and spend time with them to help make their day a better day!

  • Volunteer 1-4 times per month for 30 minutes.
  • Serve where you live. We currently have patients wanting volunteer visits in Jefferson.
  • You must be at least 18 years old and a Background check is required.
  • A two-hour orientation is required to get started. We can set up a time that is convenient for those who are interested.

Questions? Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Doug Tiffany, at dtiffany@careintiatives.org or call 515-223-3813.

 

PORTALS OF PRAYER (July – September) are still available. Sizes are becoming limited! Pick up your copy under the mailboxes. If you have a friend that would like a copy, please take them one.

 

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!

 

Building Healthy Families: Maybe you are experiencing some of the greatest joys of your life right now, or perhaps you feel you are in the lowest of valleys. God knows what you’re experiencing. In fact, He has known of your highs and lows all along. Take a moment to recall one of the best times in your life and one of the most difficult. God was there. Both times. He promises to always be with you, and He keeps every one of His promises. Your circumstances will change, as will your emotional responses. But the one constant in your life on which you can depend? His faithfulness. “I will never leave you nor forsake you…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:5,8 Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org

 

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.
