LAST WEEK –
ATTENDANCE: 66
| Sunday: | 1:30pm Divine Service |
This afternoon, we welcome Reverend Robert Krestick, who will preside and preach at Christ’s services today. We pray God’s blessing on His hopeful Word to us today.
Due to more people in attendance at one worship service, it is VERY IMPORTANT TO REFRAIN FROM WEARING FRAGRANCES. Let’s think kindly towards each other who worship with us and voluntarily abide by this simple request. This aligns with many workplaces where this is mandatory.
Sunday School will begin on September 13th with a Meet the Teacher/Registration Day from 12:15-1:15pm. We look forward to welcoming all the kids back for another year.
Coffee Hour after 1:30 Church Service
Let’s get together for fellowship! Please sign up if you would like to host coffee/drinks and goodies on the first Sunday of the month. Sign-up sheet is in the narthex.
The Flower Calendar is posted in the old narthex. Please fill in your name if you wish to provide flowers on any Sunday (except for Lent) as a memorial for a loved one or to celebrate a special day.
A flower convenor will contact you to finalize details prior to the date that you have reserved. Thank you.
We have a use for gently-used Portals of Prayer and other devotional booklets! If you bring yours back to church and place it in the box beneath the literature table, it will make its way to edify women at a women’s shelter in Hamilton.
Interac e-Transfer set up through our congregation’s bank account. If you wish to make use of this for your offerings to God, then please email Sherrie for the details at: office@faithlutherankw.com
