GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Baptism Service
We are planning a service of baptism in August, the date to be determined, for those who believe that God is leading them to enter the waters of baptism. So if you would like to be baptized, please let Pastor Dwight know of your desire.
Diaper Showers… of Blessings
Our families keep getting blessed with babies, and we’d love to bless them back. Let’s shower the Housers (Pampers, please) and the Lipperts with diapers for baby Hank and baby Owen. You can bring them to the church and put them by the mailboxes – and make sure to label them, too!
Congratulations!
Please sign the card on the welcome center table for Ryan and Annalise Lund.
Congratulations to Robbie and Emily Beyers on the birth of Kaylee Louise on Aug. 4th – 8lbs. 7oz. and 20.5” long. And also to Justin and Brandi Lippert on the birth of their son Owen on July 27th – 8lbs and 21” long.
Sunday School and Children’s Church Teacher Appreciation! We will celebrate all the teachers do for our church on Sunday, August 19th after Sunday School. Fork in the Road is catering a meal here for us and we have fun activities planned. We are so thankful for our volunteers – and make sure to plan on coming with your family. Please RSVP to Jenny Sump.
Men’s Encounter
Men’s Encounter is a time for us men to get away and encounter God, perhaps like never before; a time to consider, give thought to our lives, and discover solutions to the unique challenges facing men.
Who would you like to provide solutions for you? Who better than God?
It is important to take the time to step away and gain perspective. Whether you think you have it all figured out or not, you will benefit from attending and you will come home with no regrets. From the time you leave until the time you return, you will have nothing to worry about; all meals, transportation and lodging is included. September 7-9, 2018, with multiple launch points. Registration can be done at encounterthecross.com and our church will cover half the registration fee for anyone going. If you are interested but have questions, please visit with Andy Sedlacek, Josh Wendland or Sam Linhardt.
Covenant Women! Our next Coffee and Conversation, where we talk about things that matter, is coming up. The topic: Breaking the Cycle of Shame. The struggles we all have being honest with ourselves and with others can lead to shame. And it’s far more common than we realize. So let’s talk about it – where shame comes from, what it means, and how to break the cycle. Save the date – Saturday, September 8th from 9am – 11am here at the church with a light breakfast and of course, coffee.
