October 16 Weekly News


WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we gather in Your house for worship today.  Prepare us for this worship hour by cleansing us from all our sins, so that we might give full attention to You and Your Word.  Help us to receive Your Word into our hearts and to put it into practice for all situations and circumstances in our lives.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray.  Amen.

 

SENIOR LEAGUE MEMBERS will meet at the Waymansville Fish Fry this evening at 5:00 p.m. for supper and will then return to the Fellowship Room for their monthly meeting and socializing.

TOY DRIVE:  White Creek Lutheran School will be collecting new or gently used toys (it is requested that individuals not spend over $20), which will be given to the Columbus Firemen’s Cheer Fund and distributed through their organization.  This Toy Drive will run from tomorrow, October 17, – Friday, November 11, and toys may be dropped off in the collection box by the front door in the school hall during those dates.  Help our school bring joy to the kids of Columbus by donating!
