Church Notes for March 9, 2025

Building Healthy Families: Are you a Hallmark movie fan? If so, you know the familiar story line: big city woman in crisis returns to her hometown, reluctantly gets pulled into an effort to rally the community around some cause, reconnects with local man who frustrates her plans at every turn but who in the end fulfills all her dreams, and happy ever after begins. While entertaining, these stories can intensify feelings of unrest for the more than 50% of us who are single and living alone, who have never found or have lost our special someone, and also for the less than 50% who are married but whose marriage doesn’t always look like the one depicted by Hallmark. This Valentine’s Day, remember that God – the author and source of love – created us to live in families and communities where love is shared. He is the only one who never fails to meet our need to be seen, connected, cared for, and loved. This week, skip Hallmark and celebrate God’s amazing love! (1 John 4:16) Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
PRAYER LIST: 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 keeping the list up-to-date.
