We’ve made it up to Paul’s first missionary journey in Acts 13-14! As we learned last week, Peter has now moved to the background, and Paul will be the focus for the rest of this book.
Join us Sunday as we learn how this witness to the nations brings the gospel message to news places!

As we look forward to the holiday season, we can encourage our neighbors by helping them stock their pantries. Our donations are brought to the Food Shelf at nearby Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, where clients can choose products for their household needs. We, ourselves, can have the joy of extending the hand of Christ to help meet everyday needs along with holiday favorites.

November’s Most Wanted: Box Cereal, Flavored Oatmeal; Canned Meat, Chicken, Spam; Salsa, Hard Taco Shells; Baked Beans; Baking Items; Nuts; Nut Butter (28 oz. or less); Pet Food. Other household and food items are also useful and appreciated. Items useful for your family can be helpful for our neighbors in need.  Healthy options are welcome!

Thank you for remembering that donations must be nonperishable store-bought items, unopened, with current dates. Please drop off at our collection shelves in the Atrium. Paper Grocery Bags with handles and in good condition are also helpful and appreciated.

Are you in need of food? You can apply for a shopping appointment at Shepherd of the Valley and other food shelf locations by contacting 360 Communities at 952-985-5300 or click HERE.
