Welcome, welcome, welcome! God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good! We’re so glad you can join us today as we worship and praise our Lord and God for all that he has done for us! If you have any questions or concerns please speak to one of our ushers or to Pastor Mark. Blessings!!

The congregation is divided into Care Groups among our El-ders to assist in spiritual care and discipleship. On Sunday, September 8th, we will hold an Elder’s Care Group Gath-ering. Between services we will have each Elder’s group meet in a specific location in the Michel Building to give you a chance to meet your Elder, and for him/her to meet you. Lists will be published soon to let you know, if you don’t know who your Elder is.

Kitchen and Storage Room Clean—Up

Saturday, September 21st

Volunteers Needed!

Jesus is the God of the Storm. He is the God in the midst of the storm. He is the God who will liter-

ally walk on the water to get to us in the storm. We have this promise, and all the promises of God

are “Yes” and “Amen” in Jesus!

Please be safe. Be prepared. Have a family member or friend you can keep in contact with, so

somebody knows where you are. The God of peace will be with you.

When disaster strikes, lives are turned upside down. Survivors often need food, clothing, shelter and spir-itual care as they begin to cope with tragedy and loss. Responding to these hurting people is a vital part of who we are as members of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). We show mercy and love to our communities because of the great grace and love that God has first shown to us.

Join a Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) training event near you to learn how congregations and even individual members like you can be better prepared to show Christ’s love to the community when a disaster strikes. Attendees will receive training in the following areas:

1. Why volunteer? 2. Volunteer safety 3. Legal issues and working with others 4. General debris cleanup 5. Flood and hurricane cleanup 6. Roof tarp and patch 7. Additional certification opportunities

Attendees also will receive an LCMS Disaster Response credential that will give them credibility as they enter disaster zones in a coordinated and collaborative effort to assist those in need. The cost is $20 and you can make check payable to the FLGA District, LCMS or you may pay online here .

CRAFT GROUP - WE NEED USED CANDLES

The Craft Group will be making Christmas ornaments from waxed candles. We only need white, red or green candles. Many of us now use battery operated candles and have used and unused can-dles we can get rid of. We will be melting them to form beautiful decorations to hang on your tree.

We need these as soon as possible as it takes time to prepare and melt the wax for our October 16th class. Come join us for the fun of making your own wax ornaments.

You may leave the candles in the church office or drop them in the box provided in the narthex. If you have any questions, call Judith Gonnerman 561-386-3218. Thank you for your support.

JEWELRY NEEDED FOR

THE SEPTEMBER RUMMAGE SALE

Here we go again. Our jewelry table is always a big attraction. After the May rummage sale our

inventory has greatly depleted. We need more donations than before.

Now is a great time to go thru your costume jewelry and decide to clean out those items you have-

n’t worn in years. It takes a lot of time to sort and price and we appreciate if all donations be

made as soon as possible. We request that all items be in gently used condition. No broken parts

and all fasteners must be in workable condition.

You may leave your donations at the office and we can pick it up there.

Thank you for your support.
