Prayers for God’s hand on these ministries:
Trinity Lutheran Church • FILC Elders • We pray for Christians everywhere who are being persecuted because of their faith
SUPPORT OUR SEMINARY STUDENTS Following in the footsteps of the Dorcus Guild, the Lydia Ladies fundraise during the months of January & February to send to the foodbanks of our two seminaries (Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and St. Louis, Missouri). We are asking the congregations of First Immanuel to join us in this effort to support our future pastors, deconesses and other church workers and their families. Won’t you please write a generous check (any amount will be appreciated) to “First Immanuel Lutheran Church” with “Seminary Food Banks” in the notes line. Then give the check to Martha Gong or place it in the offering plate. If you have any questions, contact Martha at (408) 888-4428 or mothra95035@att.net.
Sign up sheets for Lenten brunch and Young Adult Bible class are in the narthex. Please prayerfully consider helping these ministries.
The clothes closet at the C.O.M.E program will have a work party on Saturday the 7th of March from 8:30am to 11:30am. We invite our congregation to come and help us to organize and tidy up our work area. Thank you for your cooperation.
Our brother in Christ, Dimas Cuevas, is in need of support from our congregation. His health insurance is not covering all the cost for his cancer treatment. We are asking for prayers for him and his family for strength and comfort during this so difficult time in their lives. Also, we are asking for donations to help him with the cost of his medical bills.
If you write a check for his fund, please write it to First Immanuel Lutheran church and in the memo area, write his name. Thank you for your generosity.
Blessings on your day!
