How big is your faith? Jesus says that faith “the size of a mustard seed” can work wonders.  Faith however has no dimensions, no size, no weight.  What can this mean?  I think it means more than we think.  In this case, faith is the same as trust rather than a way of believing.  If our trust is in God, there will be the fruit of that trust in our lives.

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, Nancy Mayberry, George Simonis, Ed Stanat and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Offering Envelopes - 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.  If you need more envelopes, there are some in the Fellowship Hall.
