Ohio District President Kevin Wilson will be preaching at both services today. In addition, he will utilize the Education Hour (beginning at 9:15 AM) to bring greetings and talk about district/congregation relationships. If you are not familiar with district and synodical matters, this is the perfect opportunity to learn how our church partners with the Ohio District and Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and to ask any questions you may have. President Wilson will be assisted in worship by Rev. Gerald Matzke. Please take advantage of this special opportunity to strengthen ties with our District President and to encourage him in his tasks.
THANK YOU!! To all the volunteers who contributed to the prep, set up, sale operation days and cleanup of the This N That sale, I wanted to say a huge thank you! Without all of your help we could not achieve the success we have each year. The This N That sale is able to help fund many grants submitted to the LWML at St Mark, I greatly appreciate the time and effort each of you contributed towards making the sale a success. – Briana McCrudden
The next meeting of New Life, a group for women who have lost their spouses and have experienced similar journeys, is Thursday, Sept 24th at 11am. Please join us as we share Jesus in our new lives. Questions? Contact Jamie Nicoletti.
Choir starts back up in September! As in previous years, we will have rehearsals on Sundays, at 9:00 (as soon as the 1st service ends). 1st Sunday of the month – women practice. 2nd Sunday of the month – men practice. Both of these are in the Music room. 3rd Sunday of the month we all practice in the Sanctuary. 4th Sunday of the month we sing at both services. If you can carry a tune, we’d love to have you join us in praising our Lord with song!
Church Directory – An update, since it’s been a while since we had our new directory photos taken – the new photos will be updated in the myUCD mobile app in the coming weeks. We will also be getting a new printed directory which needs to be finalized before the photos will be published in the app. If you do not have the online directory on your mobile phone, contact the church office for instructions.
Get ready to do some Christmas Shopping! – Next Sunday we are kicking-off our participation in the annual Operation Christmas Child program. Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need around the world, together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you want to learn more about how it works or what can be packed in a shoebox, visit the Samaritan’s Purse website or scan the QR code to the right.
From Bobi Fellinger – Thank you everyone who prayed for her after Dale’s passing, it was a great comfort.
