Announcements for the Week of Sept. 27, 2026
THE FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR are given by Tammy Johnson.
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 the Pastor.
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE who is interested in learning more about Salem, please give contact information to Pastor Doletzky.
COMMUNION PROCEDURE: Sunday we will use both the Common Cup and the Individual Cups as we celebrate Communion . The procedure will be as follows: 1) The bread will be distributed; please hold out your hand for the bread. 2) The individual cups will be distributed. Take one if you wish. 3) The common cup will then be distributed to those who did not take one of the individual cups. 4) Please leave the individual cups in the rack on the communion rail.
If you are unable to come to the Altar for communion please speak to one of the Ushers. Pastor will bring communion to you in the pew.
EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Today we heard the Apostle Paul write, 23I am pulled in two directions, because I have the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far. 24But, it is more necessary for your sake that I remain in the flesh. (Philippians 1:23-24 EHV) How blessed we are as followers of Christ! We know it is better by far to be with Christ in heaven, but we have incredibly awesome work to do here on earth! We are here to represent Jesus and share Jesus with the promise that His Word will not return empty. What a mission to be part of! We get to tell others how Jesus has set them free and given them eternal life!
THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS: Janice Lancour, 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.
BIBLE CLASS: Irreconcilable: A Study of the Pharisees and Their Conflict with Jesus. Who were the Pharisees, and why did they clash with Jesus so often? Come as we learn how Jesus clearly shows the differences between the falsehoods of the Pharisees, many of which are still around today, and His true Word. Each person who attends will receive a personal study booklet as we cover these topics over the course of 11 different lessons.
THE OCTOBER Church Calendar is available and ready to pick up.
QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING: will be Oct 11th after late worship. Come and get updates on how things are going and information on the upcoming projects. A light lunch will be served.
SNOW SHOVELING SIGN UP: As much as we do not want to acknowledge that winter is barreling towards us, it is necessary to start talking about snow shoveling for the 2026/2027 season. If you are able to take the occasional week to shovel and blow around church, the sign up is in the hallway. Remember! The more people that sign up, the less often you will be up for your week. Talk to Carrie with any questions.
LWMS FALL RALLY: Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Peshtigo, WI and St. John Lutheran Church in Grover, WI invite you to the LWMS Lake Superior Circuit 2026 Fall Rally on October 10! The rally will be held at Zion in Peshtigo. Pastor Joseph Lindloff of Home Missions will speak about mission start-up Anchor Church in Marquette, MI.
