Thank you!  We wish to say thank you to our church family for the many ways in which you touched our hearts these past weeks upon the death of Jeff’s dad, Raymond Schram of Sibley, IA.  He passed away on July 4 at his farm home outside of Sibley.  Even though we will miss dad and grandpa, we know he is now free from the cancer that was consuming his earthly body as well as health problems due to a weak heart.  We want to say thank you to Pastor Dan, Sue, Fred and Sharon Tilstra, our care elders for all of their prayers, kindnesses and support shown to the family in our loss.  Thank you for the many cards, gifts, memorials, phone calls, texts and food given to us during this time. We belong to a very caring church body and thoughtful community. ~ Jeff and Laureen Schram, Karlee, Travis, Jacob, and Lillian Nagel, Krista, Paul, Benjamin, and Elliot Tschetter

 

Today we will celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion.

 

ADVANCE NOTICE:  Our church is collecting Christian Literature for use in spreading God’s word throughout the world.  A list of acceptable and unacceptable material is included in the August “Bridge” to be sure your donation can be used.  The donation list is also posted above the collection boxes which will be under the south coat rack from August 1 – August 24.  Thank you for sharing your unused Christian material.
