Stewardship… …With the state of our economy, we are facing difficult and challenging times. Our economic bubble of prosperity has burst. We are surrounded by bad news with house values declining, major companies needing government bailouts, and people losing their jobs. As God’s people, we need to place our trust in Him and refuse to let the current economy rob us of our peace and joy. In the same way that Merrill Lynch is bullish on America, let’s also be bullish on our futures knowing that God is in control.

Prayer Before Service . . . Gracious Father, hear our prayer as we come to You this day. Give us ears to hear Your Word, hearts that understand and live. Give us Christ, His salvation assured in us, that all our days would sing Your praise. Amen.

For 20 girls, only skirts & tops. For 28 boys, pajamas or white tee shirts & sleeping shorts, also jeans for boys.   If you don't have anything and still want to help I'm sure an offering for Gayle to buy some things would also help.   There will be a box in the narthex with the word HAITI on.  Thanks in advance and may God bless you all.     Betty Tasler.

LABELS, LABELS, LABELS…. Thank you all who have saved their Hy-Vee and Shur-Fine labels. Keep them coming. The label cutters, however, ask that you bring in the whole label and leave the cutting up to them. There have been some changes in what we need to save and we have had to throw away a number of the labels because they did not meet the rules. Thanks for your cooperation.

Reminder…for when a friend or family member goes into the hospital. Please call the church office. The hospital does not call the church (except in extreme situations). Please let the Pastor know also of upcoming surgeries, or hospital stays.
