WELCOME!! We are glad that you have joined us this morning as we lift up our hearts and voices in response to God’s great gift of forgiveness and life in Christ Jesus. If you are a visitor, please sign our guest book and introduce yourself to Pastor Les Wolfgram and Pastor Justin Woodside.
THE HUMAN CARE focus for the first quarter of 2021 will be to replenish the benevolence fund. We have been blessed to assist several families with immediate needs through this effort in the past. Please consider a special gift to the benevolence fund during this time. One percent of offerings for the quarter will also go to support this fund.
THE JANUARY VOTERS MEETING will take place on Sunday, January 31 during the education hour. Leaders in the LC-MS are suggesting that the Synod convention be moved from 2022 to 2023 since 2021 District Conventions have been rescheduled to 2022 due to Covid -19 concerns. Congregations need to give their approval for the Synod to change the time of the convention. We will discuss and vote on this measure to give our approval for the move.
“FLOWING FROM THE CROSS: Six Facets of Forgiveness” is the theme for the 31st Annual ND District Men’s Retreat scheduled Saturday, January 16 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 Noon. This will be a live virtual meeting featuring Rev. Dr. Daniel Paavola, professor and chair of theology, Concordia University, Wisconsin. Bethel Lutheran Church will host a watch gathering in the Bismarck/Mandan area. You may also participate from your home. Plan to join us at Bethel or please inform Corey Isaak of your plan to participate individually at 701-281-0204 or corey.isaak@gracefargo.org.
