Mary and Martha are not only sisters; they are two sides of the same coin.  A Christian often has to be both the do-er and the listen-er.  We hear the Word and it impels us to action.  Our actions then call us back to the Word.  And so it goes.


Pr. John will be out of town next Sunday and we welcome Pr. John Boehmer who will be supplying that day.  Welcome back, Pastor Boehmer!

Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Offering Envelopes – If you need more envelopes, there are some in the Fellowship Hall.  Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations.

PAR – Pre-Authorized Remittance – Your church needs you!  Signing up for PAR allows you to make donations on a monthly basis even if you’re not in church.  Application forms are available on the table in the Fellowship Hall.  All you have to do is complete the form, attach a VOID cheque and put it in the offering plate or in the church office.

Communion Cards are required to be completed once per year per person.  If you have not completed one yet this year, please ask the usher for one.
