Fellowship, and Service."

WEEK OF JULY 17

SUNDAY WORSHIP 10:00 AM
IN-PERSON & LIVESTREAM

SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST


Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word that gives life. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the word of life.

 

In-Person Indoor Worship will be Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

Sunday Worship for will be live-streamed on YouTube beginning at 9:45 on Sunday morning. An email with the link will be sent on Sunday morning. You can also watch a recorded version later by visiting our YouTube page. You can open or print the bulletin and follow along with the service.

CCM FOOD PANTRY

JUNE


May was our second busiest month in about a year and a half, as far as households served throughout the CCM Food Program. At the Crisis Center, we served about 50% more households than the same month a year ago (when stimulus monies, unemployment benefits, and food stamp benefits were plentiful). We continue to see the same trend in June. Meanwhile, our non-perishable inventory is getting really low! 


Currently, the pantry items we are in biggest need of are:

  • Any kinds of canned beans except green (pinto, black, kidney, baked, etc.)
  • Cereal
  • Any kind of canned vegetables, except green beans and corn (carrots, potatoes, mixed, peas)
  • Dried Pinto Beans
  • Canned Fruit
  • Canned Chicken
  • Any kind of Canned Meats (except tuna!)
  • Spaghetti and other Dried Pasta
  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Soup
  • Toilet Paper and Paper Towels


As always, we especially seek low sodium items, no-added-sugar items, and whole grain items.


These items can be dropped off at the Portico Entrance during office hours.

WE ARE THE BRANCHES


Each week we will remember in prayer our brothers and sisters at one of our partner Lutheran churches in the NC Synod. Please lift them up in your prayers during the week also.


I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. ~John 15:5
