Lesson: “Renovation: Bringing Divine Hope” Speaker: Jeff Valodine
Scripture: Revelation 21:1-7a
This week
Today is First Sunday First Fruits when it is designated to collect nonperishable foods items and sanitary supplies for our food pantry to share with those of our congregation who have a need. There is a table in room 4 for donated items. Donations are also accepted any other time. Please see Danny or Laurie Giombi for details.
Today, about 5 minutes after the worship, there will be a ’15 minutes of prayer’ meeting in the fellowship room for Southside.
The First Tuesday Men’s Fellowship and Study Group is this week Tuesday at the building at 7 p.m. Please see Dan Giombi for details. (No food is being served at this time and masks are required)
Sunday morning Class and our Worship are once again being held in person in addition to being live-streamed. The number of those attending in person is well below the maximum number allowed by the city of Milwaukee for a building our size so you are welcome to join us. Masks are required indoors. As you enter the building please use hand sanitizer and pick up communion items before you go to your seat. Families are spaced apart, there are no shared or passed materials, singing is recorded (you are welcome to hum along) and everyone is asked to exit the building once worship is finished. Of course, if you are ill or have had recent contact with someone who is ill, please stay home. Evening worship is not being held at this time.

If you have not been added to Google-groups and would like to be, contact the church office with your name and e-mail. This automated mail list is used for church related matters such as general announcements, prayer requests, the bulletin, and other items of interest to the congregation. Please see Laurie Giombi for details.
When planning events, don’t forget to check the calendar in the back hallway by room 9 for conflicts and enter your own events. This is for events that involve use of the building and/or for a majority of the congregation.
