Building Healthy Families: Listen to the news on any given evening and you will be inundated with accounts of terrible things that are happening, around the world and close to home. It’s easy to become distressed and overwhelmed. And it’s possible for a traumatic news story to trigger memories of your own trauma – experienced recently or in your personal history long ago. This week, take a few minutes to commit Jesus’ words to memory and recall them whenever you hear distressing news: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Know that we’re here for you and others you know to help overcome the hardships of life – bringing professional supportive counseling grounded in our shared worldview and Christian faith. Call us – it’s why we’re here! Learn more at www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service

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 or email: tlcoffice@netins.net. 

 

When putting names on the Prayer List we 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
