- The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated in our worship services this weekend. It is our practice to serve Holy Communion to those who have been instructed in the Christian faith, who are able and willing to “examine themselves,” and who share a common faith and confession. As a congregation of the LCMS, we welcome to the Lord’s Table all who are in fellowship with our church body. If you are visiting and have questions about your participation in the Sacrament, please speak with the Elder or Pastor before the service.​

​

- Voters meeting April 27th; immediately following the worship service.​​

Although evangelism is not hosting the Meals for the Heartland, we still want to help people with feeding their families.
For six weeks, we would like to collect food for the local food bank and help them restock their shelves after the holidays.
Now is a time when families need more food with their children getting out of school and home for the summer. We have put together a list of the most needed items so please help us fill the local food bank by donating from this list.
There will be baskets along with the usual shopping cart to collect the donations in the basement. We will be collecting food starting on Sunday, May 4 going through Sunday, June 8.

 

Needed items:

Soups (bag mixes or cans)

Peanut butter - jelly

Pasta and sauces

Breakfast foods (something kids don’t have to cook)

Canned veggies 

Canned fruits 

Kids snack type food 

Also - we are looking for 1 or 2 new members for our Evangelism group. If interested, please contact one of the members for more information. We don't require a lot of your time, just support, ideas, and a monthly meeting.  

 

Thank you - Bonnie Furler, Monica Miller, Pat Dellamuth, Joi Dellamuth, Arlene Arp
