SERVING FELLOWSHIP NEXT WEEK: Ceci Johnson & R. Stofer

ACTIVITIES THIS WEEK:
Today – Council meeting following Bible study
Friday – Card night 6pm

CONTRACT RUMMY ANYONE?  We have Fellowship this coming Friday beginning at 6 p.m.  Enjoy an exciting game of Contract Rummy.  Bring a snack or two to share with the group.

PARKING LOT: We are now able to drive personal vehicles on the parking lot! But no garbage trucks or heavy equipment should access the parking lot for the remainder of the month.

URGENT NEED: Rev. Aaron Wendorff (of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Osceola and Our Savior’s in Leon) and his family are in search of temporary housing while their parsonage home undergoes major mold remediation. They are open to anything within an hour of Osceola, could move anytime, and would need housing for up to six months. If you are aware of any affordable options, please contact Rev. Wendorff at pr.awendorff@gmail.com. To fully remediate and rebuild the affected areas—including walls, ceilings, and floors—the estimated cost is approximately $150,000. Would you prayerfully consider supporting this congregation and family in their time of need? A GoFundMe has been set up for online donations, or you may send a check to Immanuel Lutheran Church. See the bulletin board for more information.

CHURCH COOKOUT: Please join us for a church cookout at the shelter Sunday, July 26, at 5:30 p.m.  Bring your own meat for grilling and a dish or two to share.

APOLOGETICS STUDY: Friday, July 24th at 4:30pm is the last study on Fisk’s book, Without Flesh. The target age for this group is upper confirmation/ high school, but all are welcome to attend. Please come prepared to discuss chapters 8, 9, and the appendices.
