LADIES’ DAY AT WHEELING
The Annual Ladies’ Day at Wheeling will not be held this Spring. The date has been tentatively changed to Oct. 26.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Since God is the source of all our blessings, we need to know whom God considers blessed. The world’s values and behaviors may seem to benefit people in this life, but God’s values bless a man forever. The topic of Phil Sanders’ sermon presentation in next week’s broadcast is “The Blessed Man.” The nationally televised weekly program can be seen Sundays at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
Your old eyeglasses (especially ones for reading) are needed for various mission points.
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the support of the children who reside at the Shulz-Lewis Children’s Home.
We are continuing to collect the fronts of used greeting cards. (No Christmas Cards, please.)
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home. Only the UPC label is necessary. To save time and shipping expense, please cut the labels out before placing them in the box in the hallway.
If you want to help with any of these ongoing ministries, please bring the items and place them in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway.
