Save the Dates THANK YOU MUSIC MEN for helping us celebrate 25 + years of ministry from 2885 JF Kennedy Rd. Your music in worship was uplifting and inspirational.

Congregational Meeting February 5, 2023 11:00 a.m. In- person and Via Zoom "Souper" Bowl Sunday February 12, 2023 Corresponding with Super Bowl Sunday is the “Souper” Bowl Sunday. While many of us will be feasting on chili, pizza, vegetable trays, and various other foods while we watch the Super Bowl game between Philadelphia Eagles, and the Kansas City Chiefs, there are still many in this city who go hungry and are malnourished. This is an opportunity for us to live out the scripture from Matthew 25 which states “When I was hungry you gave me to eat.” From now through February 12th, we will be collecting crackers and cans of soup, any other non-perishable foods and cash to be donated to the Dubuque Food Pantry. You can bring in your donation in before or after worship on Sundays through February 12th, on Mondays through February 6th, or call and set up a time to drop it off. As we provide nourishment for hungry bodies, may it also nourish souls that hunger and thirst for righteousness. Let us make the Dubuque Food Pantry and those they serve the real winners of the “Souper” Bowl.

Christmas Ponderings and a Prayer I have many favorite Christmas hymns and carols, but there is one which I have no trouble singing year round and that is “Joy to the World”. I say that because its words invite us to receive our “King” and to make room in our hearts to receive Christ. It cries out to no longer let sins and sorrows grow. It also proclaims that Christ came to make God’s blessings flow. Christmas reminds us all of God’s great love for us and desires for all of creation. Oh, what light would shine forth in the darkness and blessings would flow into all the earth if everyone would prepare more and more room for Christ to reign in their hearts. The third verse of O Little Town of Bethlehem says "How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in." God help us to open our hearts more fully to you each and every day so that Christ’s light and blessings will flow to us and through us abundantly, not only for this season, but throughout the entire year. and beyond. Amen |
