Church Notes for June 15, 2025

 

GREENE COUNTY CHRISTIAN ACTION RESOURCE CENTER (ARC) UPDATE: Thursday, June 11th at 1:00 pm was Trinity’s Day to help at the food pantry. With the summer addition of the Healthy Kids Iowa Food Program, there are extra food products to store and manage. Last week, for instance, 50 families PLUS 48 bags of food were distributed for our children’s nutritional needs. We will not only be re-stocking shelves, (primary activity), but also ensuring the store room shelves are spruced up and ready for the next delivery truck. And it is not unusual for the ARC manager, Shirley Haupert, to have a special task or two for us, such as repackaging frozen meat products for easier distribution. Many hands make for lighter work. If you are new to this service activity, and have an hour to spare, this would be a great time to participate. 1006 North Vine Street, Jefferson. (beside the viaduct) 

Thank You!

Building Healthy Families: It is a challenging time to be a parent, perhaps especially a father. Our culture takes every opportunity to malign fathers, and popular media often goes out of its way to portray them as undependable, immature, and ineffective. Yet an endless stream of research (not to mention God’s Word and our own life experience) clearly identifies the vital role of fathers in the lives of their children. Fathers, don’t give up! Take heart and persevere – you are not alone! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) Happy Father’s 

Day- You are appreciated and so greatly loved! Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org
