Announcements for Sunday, February 23 2014
Prayer for the Day is a daily devotional
ministry. To hear a devotion recorded by Pastor Thies, please call the special
Prayer for the Day phone number (963-7641) and then dial 3 when the call is
answered.
Generosity Moment - Luke 8:11 “The seed
is the word of God.” It all starts with the Word. “In the beginning the Word
was with God…” “He saved us by the regeneration of water and the Word…” “The
Word of the Lord stands forever.” We never outgrow our need to hear the Word of
God. We never achieve such greatness that we don’t need the blessings of God’s
Word. Rather the Christian life is one of always striving to conform our lives
to God’s Word – to live out the truth of our Baptisms, that we are God’s
children by the power of his Word.

Season of Lent is coming upon us soon.
It begins with Ash Wednesday, March 2nd. We will have worship at 10:30am at Central
and 7pm at Northwest with ours and other area pastors providing the worship
messages. Following Wednesday special
Lenten worship services will continue through the Season until Holy Week. As a result “Something Different” will resume
after that and the Easter week break on Wednesday, April 30th.
"SOMETHING DIFFERENT" - We are meeting this
week Wednesday at 6:30pm at the Northwest Site for our last time before Lent
with a study portion on Revelation led by Pastor Thies. Come and try SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

Do you have
unwanted but usable furniture that you would like to put toward a ministry
purpose. “Ambassador Services” operates
as a non profit outlet to supply to the needs of those who are in the market
for second hand furniture. With it,
however, a customer receives an inquiry and a witness regarding their walk with
Jesus (hence: “Ambassador Services”).
Ambassador Services operates a showroom next to Morning Glory Restaurant
at 404 7th St.
in Rockford . For inquiries, call 815-289-6126.

‘Pastor Krause is
planning on starting a new “Learn to read
Greek” class on Thursday, March 13th. This is a slow-paced,
informal class where lay-people can learn to read the New Testament in the
original Greek language. There are people from a few different churches
who attend, so you won’t feel like an outsider. We regularly meet on
Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 PM in the basement of Mount Olive Lutheran church
(2001 N. Alpine). Come and see how a different approach to reading the
bible can open new avenues to understanding God’s word for us. If you
have any questions, contact Pastor Krause at Mount Olive
