“My salvation and my honor depend on God.
He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:7-8
WELCOME: We welcome you to our worship today. May we
all be richly blessed as we worship our great and compassionate
God through the name of His Son Jesus.
We invite you to join us after the morning worship service
for refreshments and a time of fellowship.
Children aged 3-5 meet your teacher in the foyer during the
offering this morning for Children’s Church.
Our cookies this morning are in honor of Ruth (Mel) Vanden
Bos’ 80th Birthday. Happy Birthday, Ruth!
ABOUT OUR MESSAGES
This morning: sometimes you hear people talk about “A
World as We Wish It Could Be.” In Acts 9, Peter encounters
two vivid reminders that the world isn’t what it ought to be in
death and sickness. How do we as Christians deal with
sickness and death? We witness our King’s power over them
and trust that Jesus is bringing what ought to be into the world
that is.
This evening, please join the community churches at Trinity
Lutheran Church at 6:00 PM, where Pastor Dave Anderson
will be preaching on “The Lord, Our Shepherd.”
OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council Meetings will be held this Tuesday, February 27:
Deacons will meet at 6:00 PM with Full Council Meeting at
7:00 PM. Please note that the Elders will not meet again until
Tuesday, April 10 at 8:00 PM.
Caring Casserole Assembly: 9 AM this Thursday, March 1.
Two of the GEMS' classes are working on the Dolls badge.
In connection with this, we will be donating dolls and
accessories to the Mitchell Area Safe House. Contributions of
new or very gently used clean dolls will be accepted. They
cannot accept soft stuffed dolls- only ones that can be wiped
clean. If you would like to donate a doll and/or accessories,
please put in the container provided in the Fellowship Hall.
Spring Book Study: Throughout Scripture, the word
“covenant” pops up again and again. It’s a word we hear, but
what does it mean? And how is it relevant to our Christian
life? Understanding covenants in the Bible better can help you
understand the Bible better and then know Christ better.
Pastor Drew would like to lead a book group reading Covenants
Made Simple: Understanding God’s Unfolding Promises to His
People, by Jonty Rhodes, on Fridays at noon beginning March
16. Bring something to eat and we’ll discuss the book together
over our noon meal in the Family Room! Contact Pastor
Drew if you are interested.
Are you in need of a ride to a doctor’s appointment? Or could
you use meals or other items during a difficult time? Please

Jean 337-2368.
If you or any of your family members are willing to provide
special music, please contact Pam at 337-2414 or any
Worship Committee member. Thanks!
