Pastor Joel is here for you! If you have a pastoral need or a prayer request for Pastor Joel, he can be reached at: pastor@svlchurch.org.
This Week… Sunday! The message: “Living in Response to Christ: Stewardship of God’s Word” (Genesis 14, 2 Corinthians 9, and Mark 12,)
Sunday Morning Bible Study with Pastor Joel is every Sunday, 9:00 am, in the Chapel. This November, we will be taking an in-depth look at stewardship.
Coming Soon…
Thankfeast! Saturday, November 23, 2:00 (sharp!). This is a church tradition going back some 50 years! It began because so many in our church were young Marines – away from home for Thanksgiving – and so we shared it together (along with a lot of guests invited to join us). We still have a special place for Marines! Be sure to invite and bring those neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. This is not only a fellowship event but also an outreach event, “connecting with our community.”
+++ Dinner. We do this by specific food donations. See the sign-up sheet on the fellowship counter and/or speak with Amanda Cerny. Your participation and generosity are appreciated! Bring your donation READY TO SERVE in the Fellowship Building from 1:45-2:00. Amanda will be there to set it out on the serving table.
+++ Worship. A short service of praise and thanksgiving will be held in the Chapel from 2:00 (sharp) to 2:30.
Deck the Halls We will be decorating our Chapel on Saturday December 7th, at 11am. Lunch to follow at Upper Crust Pizza.
The Men’s Breakfast/Study: Saturday, December 14th at 9:00 am. Work party follows from 10 am-Noon. Your help is needed and appreciated!
