Announcements:
TODAY we will be collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. January featured Grant- $50,000 –- To fund the printing and distribution of scripture in mother tongue languages where Lutheran Bible Translator supported translation projects are ongoing or have recently been completed in Botswana, Ethiopia, and Angola/Namibia Africa.
The Book to Know group will meet Feb 9 at Adele Knop’s home to discuss “Her Mother’s Hope” by Francine Rivers. Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion
Director of Music Ministry Update- The search group for our new director has met with little success during the four month search. The members of the group feel there is an opportunity to serve the Lord if the position is split into multiple positions. Thus, if the Lord moves you to consider serving, or you know of someone who has expressed an interest in serving, as Vocal Choir Director, or as Bell Choir Director, or as part-time organist, please visit with a member of the search group. It is our hope that by dividing up the duties we can find qualified and willing candidates to serve the Lord in these areas of our music ministry.
“Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19b)
Wednesday morning Bible study – Come explore the book of Jeremiah. This major prophet laments the destruction of the temple, the siege on Jerusalem, and the people’s being led away as captives into exile. Yet he also predicts the coming age of the new covenant under the Righteous Branch, who will be the Good Shepherd. Please read chapters 11-15 for this week’s session. We meet 10:30-11:30 in the fellowship hall.
