There is a promotional flyer on the bulletin board providing additional information. Reservations can be made by contacting Glenn or Kathy Zendt.

all she had to live on.”

No one truly knows Christ unless they follow Him daily in life" - Hans Denck

Two small coins Praising/Adoring All: Praise the Lord! Leader: Praise the one who surprises us with plenty in times of want. People: Praise the one who welcomes the stranger in times of loneliness. Leader: Praise the one who opens the eyes of the blind, who breaks down the gates of every prison, who lifts up the downtrodden. All: Praise the Lord! Offering Two small coins, two copper pennies, a measure of meal, and a little oil in the jar. Yet these are enough, O God, and worthy of your work. We pray that you will bless the increase. Amen. Sending/Blessing Go boldly from here, trusting that the hand that made heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, is with you in places of uncertainty and lighting your way with hope. —Emily Toews, Drake, Saskatchewan Bible readings for today: 1 Kings 17:8-16; Psalm 146; Hebrews 9:24-28; Mark 12:38-44.
