Only One Service on April 10th

Dear Friends in Christ,

  

On April 10th we gather together in one big worship service at 10:00 AM.  There will be no Sunday School, no confirmation, no adult forum.  This is our opportunity to bring our Estimate of Sharing cards to the altar.  Confused about the duty and delight of sharing

 

world hungerParents of Sunday School kids:  Please remember that your children should bring their World Hunger banks to the 10:00 service on April 10th.  We want the children to participate in stewardship and have talked about that every Sunday at Sunday school opening. Children should join you in approaching the altar and placing their offerings in the basket just like their parents do!  Middle School and High School youth are encouraged to fill out an estimate of sharing card too...one will be provided in every worship bulletin.

 

Following the service, we will share a catered meal together in the Fellowship Hall.  As we fast and pray this Lenten season, please pray for those around the world for whom fasting is not a 40 day discipline, but a normal part of their life for want of food.

thriveGet Out Your Bible and Your Camera: Your Work Can Be in the Next Thrivent Wall Calendar -

Member photos wanted for Thrivent wall calendar; Submit by June 1
Each year, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans creates a unique wall calendar for Lutheran congregations, schools and other Lutheran institutions and Thrivent magazine offers a slightly smaller version for members.

For the 2012 wall calendar, we're again inviting members to submit their own photos. This time, members are invited to send us an inspirational Bible verse, along with a photograph that illustrates the verse or its personal meaning. We are looking for unique and uplifting images. Perhaps members think of Scripture when they look at a photo of a beautiful sunset or a majestic cathedral, or a snapshot from a church mission trip.

If you or a member you know has photos to share that fit this theme, send them to us! Please share this request with Thrivent members in your chapter and congregation.

How to submit:

Please complete and submit the electronic Photo Submission Form on Thrivent.com. This page also includes requirements and tips for submissions. The deadline to submit photographs is June 1.
  

 

  

"Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fullness and riches of his own faith."
