Seeking Communion Team Members

We want to thank Linda Laine and Jo Brumund who have prepared the communion elements each month for our church. They have done a wonderful job ensuring that everything is ready for each service. 

We are now looking for some individuals to take over this very important role: the monthly responsibility of preparing the communion elements. It requires cutting up bread and/or baking cut up pie crusts. On Saturday, you will fill the cups with grape juice and prepare the plates. The 8:30 communion servers will fill the cups for the 11:00 service. The 11:00 am servers will wipe off the serving utensils and store in the worship closet. 

You will receive training on how to prepare the elements.

If you are interested, please contact

Kim Ray at kim@schlueter.net

Leftovers...

In the interest of not wasting food or other resources...

If your group has food or supplies left over and you don't want to take them home, please let the office know so that I can inform other groups who might have a use for it. Otherwise, it just sits there until I or someone else throws it away.

Also, please don't leave little bits of stuff -

take it home or throw it away!

Thanks so much for your help with this.

Answers to Whataya Know About..

the Trinity?

Biblical Beginners: B- The Word is the Son, Jesus. According to the New Testament, the Word of God, who was with God the Father and the Spirit, and was also God Himself, became flesh. This means He became a human being. Christians believe that Jesus was born from a human mother, but not a father.

Scriptural Scholars: B- The gift of the Holy Spirit was received by the disciples after Jesus ascended into heaven. Acts 1: 4-5 tells us that Jesus ordered his disciples to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father. "For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." The coming of the Holy Spirit is detailed in Acts 2: 1-4.

Wizards of the Word: C - 1 John 5:7 states that "There are three that testify in heaven; the Father, the Word (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.
