SUMMER WEDNESDAY EVENING VESPERS BEGIN!

This year we will once again have Summer Vespers once a month. We will meet the last Wednesday of the month. These will be more relaxed, church camp style worship services meeting at 6:30 p.m. on June 25, July 30, and August 27. It will be a time of camp song singing, Bible study, conversation and prayer. If you haven't attended in the past, consider checking it out this year. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and join the fun!

DONATIONS LIST
As we continue to look for ways to be good stewards of our finances, we would welcome any extra support from our congregation or friends who might be willing to donate supplies to our church. Below is a list of items we use regularly:
TRAVEL ASSISTANCE TO WORSHIP
The Board of Elders wants to make sure that transportation is not an issue to participate in worship or other events. If a ride is needed, please let a member of the Board of Elders know. Also, if you are willing to give a ride to someone in need, let a member of the Board of Elders know. We will do our best to make connections.
We gratefully acknowledge your very generous donation. We are very encouraged by your sincere thoughtfulness to the mission of Mary’s Place of Central Wisconsin. We cannot begin to tell you how your gift will benefit so many people who are in need. We are so thankful to you. It is through gifts such as yours that we can continue our mission to address the special needs of the low-income/no-income people here in Wood County.
Sincerely,
Jim Joyce,
President

PRAYER OF SERVANTHOOD
O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. We give you thanks for your constant presence. Through seasons of stability and change, you are with us, calling us out of ourselves into the world to serve others. Grant that we may be united in love for each other and for those we haven’t yet met. Grant us wisdom, patience, and perseverance as we work through the details and challenges of the ministry you have placed before us. Continue, O Lord, to bless the work of our hands. Bless the work of our hands.
Amen.
Amen.
