Announcements for the Week of January 19, 2025
WELCOME OUR GUESTS: We are glad to have you worship with us today. We ask our guests to please sign our guest register. If you have any questions, please ask any member or Pastor.
EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Today we heard the Apostle Paul write, “no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:3). When we share the good news about who Jesus is and what He has done to others. Don’t become discouraged if they don’t believe it at first. Believing is the work of the Holy Spirit. Each believer is truly a miracle of God. Rejoice that God wants to use you to bring the best news in the world to others.
THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS: Linda Buchanan (Christian Park), Lorry Flath, Judy Chylek (at home), Mary Hupy, Jan Lancour, Jeanette Klein, Barb Lehman, Bill Herbst Sr, Judy Wright, and Mary Porath. We pray for all of our shut-ins. We pray for our Synod and our missionaries. We pray for our troops, our leaders in the congregation, and in our city, state and nation. We pray for our straying members and those who don’t know Jesus.
BIBLE CLASS TODAY: We will continue our study of Romans chapter 12 today. We will look at different ways God calls us to live to His glory.
ANNUAL VOTERS’ MEETING: Our Annual Voters’ Meeting will be after late worship this morning. Year end reports will be given. We will be discussing and voting on proposals to remove the berms. We will be electing a new church treasurer. We will be adopting a new budget for 2025. There will be a light lunch for all who attend the meeting.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF GIVINGS: If you would like a copy of your givings over the previous year, please contact Todd Chouinard and he will print a copy and leave it in your mailbox here at church. Thank you!
WE GIVE THANKS: The Lord has blessed us with Linda Robinson who is willing to take on the leadership role of organizing funeral meals here at Salem. May we work together to help Linda and serve in whatever ways we can to help comfort and encourage our families during a time of loss and change. Always rejoicing in the joy of the resurrection when all loss and grieving will be over forever.
