July 16 Weekly News

                
MANY THANKS TO Rev. Greg Cynova for leading us in worship this morning.  Pastor Whitmore will be returning from vacation this Friday, July 21.

THERE WILL BE NO Bible Study this Wednesday, July 19, as Pastor Whitmore is on vacation.


SENIOR LEAGUE MEMBERS are reminded they will meet this evening at Bob Evans restaurant at 5:30 p.m. for supper and will then return to the Fellowship Room for their monthly meeting and socializing.  Guests are always welcome!

THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER of the CrossLife Ministries Auxiliary will be held tomorrow evening, Monday, July 17, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Emanuel Lutheran Church, Dudleytown.  All are invited to enjoy the evening of fellowship and become more familiar with this ministry to individuals, marriages, and families throughout Jackson and Bartholomew counties.  Please bring a covered dish to share.  Drinks and anniversary cake will be provided.

A BENEFIT CONCERT for Our Hospice of South Central Indiana will be held at St. Paul, Clifty, this Friday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m.  Robin Gratz will be the organist.  A free-will offering will be received for Hospice.  Everyone is invited.

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED:  Trinity Lutheran high School has been welcoming more international students to the community, and we are in need of host families for at least 4 students this upcoming year.  Places are needed for girls from China, Vietnam, and Germany, and a boy from South Korea.  The visiting student provides a monthly stipend to families for help with food and transportation costs while here.  Please contact Ben Stellwagen (812-524-8547 or bstellwagen@trinitycougars.org) for more information.  Please give prayerful consideration to hosting one of these students and, as a result, help share the Gospel with the community abroad!

SEVERAL AREA CHURCHES have recently suffered acts of vandalism.  If you are out and about, please keep an eye out for anything unusual around our church and school property.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Romans 8:12
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.”  We owe the flesh, the world, and the devil nothing at all.  We are not debtors to these enemies: we are freed by the blood of Christ.  We are joyful servants in Christ’s kingdom – servants that He calls friends.  We share our Lord’s plans and purposes – and this gives direction and purpose to our lives.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
