10-21-2018 ANNOUNCEMENTS

WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE WITH US TODAY

 

THE LORD’S SUPPER at St. Paul Lutheran Church is administered in accordance with the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.  It is celebrated in the confidence that we receive – in, with and under the consecrated bread and wine – our Savior’s true Body and Blood for the forgiveness of our sins.  All who commune at this altar are making this public confession of the faith that we believe and teach as is written in the Holy Scriptures.  If you are not a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and yet desire to receive the Sacrament, please speak with the Pastor before the worship service.

 

IN YOUR PRAYERS - this week please remember those who are recovering from surgery and illness, those in cancer treatment programs, our shut-in and inactive members and at least 2 family members or friends in your life who do not know Christ as they could, that they would accept the invitation to come to Church with you to hear God's Word preached in its purity, and see the Sacraments rightly administered.

 

MAIN STREET LIVING – October 28,2018:  Worship Service-The message, “Five Hundred…and One” is based on Revelation 14:6 and is presented by Rev. Corey Aker of Faith Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls.  For more information contact us at info@mainstreetliving.com

 

THE BOARD OF FINANCE needs someone to fill a vacant spot on their committee (to be elected this month).  The Board of Finance are the ones who make sure there are collection envelopes, count and record offerings, and keeps records of gifts received.   If the Lord has moved you to help out your church, this might be for you.  Please contact Brian Knittle or an elder.

 

A NEW RESOURCE IS AVAILABLE; "Alive in Christ" a Funeral Practices and Planning Guide, located in the racks.

 

ARE YOU INTERESTED in a 10 gal Redwing crock? Or a Kelvinator stove? These are 2 items from the kitchen remodel, which we will not put back into the kitchen. Please talk to Chad Knittel if you are interested in the crock or stove. Also there are still some items on the tables out in the fellowship hall for anyone to take. Thank you.

GREETING CARDS FUNDRAISER: the Youth Group will be selling Christian based boxed cards after church on October 21 and 28.  Includes a variety of Christmas, Birthday, Sympathy and more.  Proceeds will go toward National Lutheran Youth Gathering in Minneapolis next summer.

YOUTH GROUP MEETING October 28th at 7pm and November 18th at 7pm. All teens grades 7-12 are welcome.

DID you miss church last Sunday?  Go to Facebook.com/stpaulfreeman and click "like".  All sermons for a month are being posted there to listen to if you were away, or to review if you so desire.

 

 

COULD YOU HELP those who cannot get to church any longer?  Video recordings of the services are being made to give to those who have mobility issues and cannot get to church (Nursing homes, shut ins).

  Many, who have not been able to attend church in years say; "Oh!  This is great.  I so miss going to church and this is close to being there again!".  We could use some volunteers who can deliver these DVD recordings on a regular basis (possibly each week), along with a printed service and bulletin (if able to see), so that when they watch the service in their homes or care center, they can sing and listen right along with us.  Please contact me if you would like to help in this way.  Pastor Makelin
