February 9, 2022

Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          To begin with, a reminder that this Sunday is Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday, the day on which we encourage contributions to the ELCA’s World Hunger Appeal in support of a number of food ministries. Donations can be placed in the football-shaped bowl in the narthex or included in your offering envelope along with your regular offering.

          The attached prayer, which I will pray during our ZOOM worship time tonight, February 9, at 7:00 PM, is more traditional than most of my prayers, coming as it does out of Psalm 113 and a conversation or two I’ve had about God and hope in times like we are in. If the prayer speaks to you or fits you in some way, you might want to try praying it as your own prayer.

          May God lift our spirits during these days and may we praise God day after day,

Pastor Halenza
