Jenifer Bradford would like to invite everyone to a carry-in meal to

fellowship hall. Jenifer plans to share during the dessert time about her
immigration experiences.
Ten Thousand Villages is collecting gently worn shoes for Well of Hope, a
nonprofit organization providing opportunities for Kenyan widows to earn
income from the reselling of used shoes. Income helps to provide safe
shelter for their children. Tie each pair of shoes together with a piece
of yarn, which can also be used by the widows for additional projects.
There will be a box in the coat room for shoe donations.
Please
Prayer For:

Susan Huyard as she undergoes

BJ Rohr, Dorcas Hanbury, and
Merton Greenleaf, our friends and family dealing with cancer and its

1 Corinthians 3:1-9
Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the
Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I
gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed,
you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is
jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting
like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another,
“I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom
you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I
planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only
God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who
waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their
own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field,
God’s building. |
