Announcements for the Week of November 15, 2026

THE FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR are given by Marvella Herbst in loving memory of Bill Herbst Sr and by Diane Johnson in memory of loved ones. 

WE 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. 

IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE: that is interested in learning more about Salem, please give contact information to Pastor Doletzky.

EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:  Today the Holy Spirit told us through the Apostle Paul, ¹⁴Indeed, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then in the same way we also believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.  (1 Thessalonians 4:14 EHV)  Jesus always gives us hope and confidence which empower us to tell others about the joy we have for a glorious future. 

THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS: Eugene Simson, Gail Maxwell, Barb Lehman, Bonnie Bushey, Mark Kuehn, Judy Hubert, David Herbst Jr, Ken Leinberger, Lisa Nord and Mary Hupy. 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.

NO BIBLE CLASS TODAY.  We will resume next Sunday at 9:15 a.m.  We will be on lesson 11.

CHOIR REHEARSAL:  Today the choir rehearses after late worship to get ready to sing for Thanksgiving Eve.

THE NEW Meditations begins on Sunday, November 30^th and is ready to be picked up.  Please take one to share with others who need daily words of encouragement from God.

LOOKING AHEAD:  We have Thanksgiving Eve Worship on Wednesday, November 25^th at 6:30 p.m.  What a joy to have a special worship service of thanksgiving to our God who has blessed us so richly!
