ATTENDANCE SHEETS found in the bulletin will assist us in making sure that all of our members are being cared for. Please fill them out EACH WEEK and place them in the offering plate.
JANUARY MISSION ENVELOPES will support LIGHTHOUSE WOMEN & CHILDREN’S CENTER (formerly the Magdalene Project) in Niagara Falls. Lighthouse reaches out to exploited women in Niagara Falls with the good news of Jesus’ love for them. They offer support for those who are working to better their life situation. Lighthouse also works with under supervised children in our inner city, offering them after school activities and snacks in a safe environment. If you would like to support Lighthouse, place your donation in your monthly mission envelope or donate online using the “monthly mission” option.
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES AID: After worship today, and again next Sunday, we will offer the opportunity to contribute to a door offering to aid the victims of the wildfires in California. Your donations will be sent to our LCMS Pacific Southwest District. As of this writing, none of our LCMS churches or schools have been damaged. However, a number of families from our LCMS churches in the affected area have lost their homes. The LCMS Pacific Southwest District will use your donations to assist these families with their immediate needs.
“SOUPER” BOWL SUNDAY: We’re trying something new! On Sunday, February 9, we invite you to bring a can (or two) of meal-type chunky or hearty style soup, chili, or stew to church with you. Your donations will be donated to Heart, Love, & Soul to help feed our hungry neighbors during these cold winter months.
FEBRUARY PROJECT: Beginning two weeks from today, we will hold our annual toilet tissue collection to benefit Heart, Love, & Soul. Toilet tissue is an item that cannot be purchased with SNAP benefit cards. It is one of the most requested and appreciated items that Heart, Love, & Soul is able to provide for their clients who need assistance. Please keep this upcoming project in mind as you do your shopping.
NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, and Luke 4:16-30.
2025 OFFERING ENVELOPES are on the table in the Chapel. Please check your name off the sheet once you have picked up your envelopes. If you do not have envelopes listed and would like a box please leave a note for Erin Anthony in the office.
