The Need for Salvation is Universal
When Jesus said, “No one can enter the kingdom of God,” he declared that the need for salvation is universal. He rightly condemned humanity as a whole. There is no one on the face of the earth who can make the case that they deserve God’s blessing. It’s definitely not about us. Yet, ages ago, God declared that all nations would be blessed. God has declared his love for the world and promised he would save the world. The gift of salvation is meant for the world; however, it is received by faith. “Whoever believes in him…” the Gospel says. However, the good news is that faith is also God’s gift, imparted through that gospel. Salvation is not about us. It’s all about Christ.

Communion Sign UpBefore the worship service, we are asking our members to announce their desire to receive the Lord’s Supper on the sign-up sheet located in the entry to the sanctuary.This will help us keep our records updated and also help with our annual reports to the Synod. If you don’t get the chance to sign the sheet before worship, please do so after the service has ended.
Grounds Cleanup Day
We have a Church Grounds Cleanup Day this Saturday the 4th at 10:00. If you have some time bring some work gloves and any yard tools to help keep your Church beautiful

Our 2023 Offering Envelopes Are HerePlease look for your family’s box in the Narthex. If you can’t find yours, please see Linda Syrylo.It is our privilege to tell, like the shepherds, the good news that a Savior has been born for all people. We tell the good news as individuals, and we tell the good news by sending representatives (pastors and teachers) by giving of our offerings.
The Bible says, “Each person should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of grief nor out of compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7-8)..

Sunday School Needs Your Help
With just a few volunteers we can spread out the commitment to one Sunday per month. We need to break up our children’s lessons by age to keep them engaged and interested in learning about the Word of God. You are welcome to sit in one Sunday to see if this is something you can help with.
Anyone interested in teaching or helping out with Sunday School, please contact Pauline Blades at 727-798-4465 or Pauline_Blades@Yahoo.com.
