Blessing Bench
Current Emphasis: Canned Fruit and Meals in a Can
We are collecting a variety of goods and food for First & Santa Cruz Lutheran Church.
Their "Blessing Bench Food Ministry" serves our neighbors in downtown Joliet.
We will collect what they request to bless our neighbors and at this time, it is canned fruit and meals in a can, such as Raviolli.
| | | |
Take a Prayer, Leave a Prayer | |
Praying with and for each other!
We are in this together! The prayer jar just inside the front doors will help us pray together.
Here's how it works: you can drop a prayer request in the jar sharing as much as you want to share and you can also grab a prayer request from the jar and add the prayer request to your prayers, and thus we'll be praying with and for each other.

Sunday Goodies & Fellowship
Hanging out after worship is indeed sacred and holy time. It's not just snacks; it's refreshment in mind, body, and soul!
Sometimes folks wonder if there is a sign-up or schedule for bringing snacks, but there is not. It is free-form generosity. Bring a snack to share whenever you can and it always works out.
You can bake something, buy something, pick something up, etc. Whatever works for you is a gift that blesses our time together. Thank you!
| | | |
Sabbatical
Part Two of Pastor Ben's sabbatical is July 29 through August 25. Sabbatical is a time for renewal of mind, body, spirit, soul, relationships, and so on. Pastor Ben designed a sabbatical plan that included a month off last summer and a month off this summer. We'll discuss more of the sabbatical details after worship on Sunday July 28. If you have any questions, please let Pastor Ben know.

It All Helps!
Generosity takes make forms and it all blesses our mission to Share the Love of God. For example, as you're shopping and out and about, the following are always needed, appreciated, and helpful to pick up:
Fellowship Supplies: such as coffee, coffee creamers, paper plates and serving supplies, kids drinks, trash bags, and the like.
If you're replacing or updating the following at your home, please consider donating your working vacuum, air-conditioner, or furnace. Please let Pastor Ben know if you might have something like this to donate so we can let you know if it meets a current need at the church.
| | |
|
Confirmation
Deepening faith and growing in our walk with Christ: it's what Confirmation is all about. The two-year program is for youth in 7th and 8th grade. Please let Pastor Ben know if you would like to be part of Confirmation! The Wednesday classes resume in September.
| |
|
A great way to support the mission of your church is to set up automated giving or to make use of online giving when you're not able to make it on a Sunday.
You can give via debit or credit card or checking account, and you manage the amount and frequency. You can change it at any time.
| |
|
Thank you for your generosity! Your offering is your thank-you gift to God and your offering fuels our mission. | |
