Generosity Moment - Ephesians 4:28 “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” God gives us honest work to do so that we can be a blessing to others. That’s how so many of God’s blessings go: He gives to us so that we in turn can be a blessing. He graciously calls us into the midst of His own work in the world. Our regular church offerings are a great way to answer this calling.
Pastor Thies is away this weekend. He will return to the church office tomorrow, Monday, August 10th. Please contact the church office or Pastor Ciprys with any pastoral needs.
Don’t forget your school supplies for those who need them at Fairgrounds Housing Project. See the insert for details. Today is the last Sunday bring them. We can take them at the church office until Wednesday.
Are you or someone you know interested in what our church teaches? Pastor Thies is looking at offering our Christian Faith Class on Sunday evenings, August 16th & 23rd. In this class he compares what we teach and believe to what others do while using the Bible for a guide. Completion of the class makes one eligible for membership. If you would like more information, please let the church office know or indicate so on your bulletin’s Care Card. Upon his return, Pastor Thies will contact you further.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT – We will resume this week on August 12th when our topic from Answers in Genesis will be “Fossils & the Flood: What’s the Connection?” Come and try SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
Dinner Auction 2015 – An American Girl doll, Julie, has been donated for the auction. Once again, we are asking for outfits for the doll. Last year we were able to make two packages which went over very well. You can buy or make an outfit, by sewing, knitting or crocheting. If someone is in to woodworking, a doll bed would be very nice! If you have any questions on sizes, please contact Sandy Kahler at 815-877-7936.
Any day is an Open House at St. Paul Lutheran School. You may direct interested families to our Admission Counselor Team of Dyan Lofgren (ext. 215) and Sue Wilkinson (est. 210). They can be emailed at stpaulrockford@gmail.com or called at 815-965-3335.
Little Lambs is now accepting applications for spring enrollment. Please call Katie Lopez at 815-965-3335, ext. 218.
