Weekly ANNOUNCEMENTS

Announcements for the Week of April 21, 2024

THE FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR are given by Diane Johnson in memory of Martin Johnson. 

WE WELCOME OUR GUESTS:  We are glad to have you worship with us today. We ask our guests to please sign our guest register.  If you have any questions, please ask any member or Pastor.

IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE: that is interested in learning more about Salem, please give contact information to Pastor Doletzky.

EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:  Today we heard Jesus say, “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”  (John 10:11 EHV)  How comforting for us to have Jesus as our Good Shepherd!  How blessed we are to have Him lead us through His Holy Word.  What comfort, joy, and peace are ours to share with those around us who so desperately need it!  Jesus shepherd you as you work to share Him!

THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS:  Dave Mlostek, Bill Gasperich (husband of Cheryl Gasperich), Pastor Dick Winters, Francis Dittrich, Judy Wright, Mary Porath, and Linda Buchanan. We pray for all of our shut-ins. We pray for our Synod and our missionaries. We pray for our troops, our leaders in the congregation, and in our city, state and nation. We pray for our straying members and those who don’t know Jesus. 

CATECHISM:  This Monday, April 22nd at 4:30 p.m.  For 8th graders only! 

BIBLE CLASS:  Today we will pick up our study of Romans 8 verse 29.  We will see how God planned for us to be with Him before time began and what comfort that gives.

QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING:  Our next Quarterly Voters’ Meeting is next Sunday, April 28th after late worship.  There will be a light lunch for those who attend as we go over things for the last quarter and many of the blessings the Lord has given us and things we are looking ahead on.

PASTOR’S CONFERENCE:  Pastor will be attending the Spring Pastor’s Conference in Ashland, WI next Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please call his cell phone or Carrie at the parsonage if you need Pastor.  Thanks.

CENTRAL AFRICA MEDICAL MISSION (CAMM) APRIL MONTHLY LETTER: A copy of the April CAMM Monthly Letter can be found on the hallway cabinet by the Christian greeting cards. The April newsletter was written by Field Director, Gary Evans, about the new ambulance that was purchased with the generous gifts of CAMM supporters.
