Friendship Sunday: February 14 A great opportunity to invite some friends to come and meet the ultimate Friend: Jesus. Special Events on Friendship Sunday: · Worship service celebrating our Greatest Friend - Jesus · Valentines Brunch after worship - prepared by men of the congregation · Games for kids after brunch · Kickoff of our “Secret Paul” prayer partner program · Kickoff of our “11:09" prayer-a-day program (see below) Mark your calendars and start praying about friends you can invite. (Special “Friendship Sunday” invitations will be available.)
11:09 On Friendship Sunday we kick-off another special prayer program, one that will have us each praying at the same time every day - 11:09 a.m. - wherever we are. We’re going to choose a slogan that will help us remember to pray. Here are a few that have been offered thus far: Knees hit the pine at 11:09 B4U Dine - Pray at 11:09 Don’t Whine - Pray at 11:09 Anytime is fine - but we pray at 11:09 Talking to heaven at nine after ‘leven.
Got a better
one? Tell pastor and we’ll add it to the list. Then we’ll pick one on
Friendship Sunday.
Ash Wednesday - Feb. 17 Traditional Service of Ashes The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. Ashes symbolize our frailty, our mortality, humiliation and need for repentance before God (people in ancient times showed their repentance by putting on sackcloth and ashes). Ashes also suggest a need for cleansing by the blood of Christ and renewal by His Holy Spirit. During our Ash Wednesday service, ashes will be applied to the foreheads of all worshipers in the form of a small cross. Please join us for our special service, Wednesday, February 17.
As we found out last year, an early service time seems to work better for more people - but maybe just a bit later than 6:00. So this year Lenten services will start at 6:30 with Supper available from 5:45 to 6:20
Each Wednesday @ 6:00 - Prayer Time “The family that prays together stays together” also holds true for church families. During the Advent season we met for a brief prayer service each Wednesday at 6:00. Since prayer is such an important part of the life of a church family, we will be continuing this brief prayer service each Wednesday. Pastor will start each prayer time with a short devotion on a different aspect of prayer. Then we will simply pray - for building issues and anything else you’d like for us to take to the Lord.
A light supper
will be available from 5:15 to 6:00, so you can come from work and not worry
about supper when you get home - plus it’s a great time of fellowship with your
church family. Please join us.
Charter Sunday: January 24 It has been five years since Living Word was chartered as an official member of the Minnesota North District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We will celebrate with a special potluck meal following worship on January 24.
Make sure to
join us as we thank God for our fifth year and kick off year number 6.
Annual Whist Night
Talk to Pastor
or Violet if you have any questions. Bring friends. (It’s a great way to
