WELCOME: We are happy to have you join us this evening

to God’s word and transformed to be the person Christ created

you to be.

PRAYER & PRAISES

We are praising God along with Clair Dyk, a member of our

congregation in assisted living in Sioux Falls, who had an

annual PET scan come back clean. Several years ago, Clair was

dealing with extensive cancer throughout his body, and so we

are thankful for God’s provisions and healing for another year!

OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS

We welcome our sister churches in joining us for our

Independence Day evening worship. We would also like to

welcome Rev. Dan Ebbens. He will be bringing the message,

“Stuck in the Middle”, from Ephesians 2.

Fellowship After Worship: This past week, the church council

decided that we would resume providing coffee, juice and

cookies after morning worship, beginning next week (July 12).

You will be encouraged to grab your refreshments from the

kitchen window and then proceed out either of the side doors to

enjoy fellowship outside. For those who are uncomfortable

preparing and serving refreshments for health reasons, please

contact the church office upon your turn coming up. List of

upcoming servers are on the back page of bulletin.

Help Needed!! If anyone would be interested in helping cut out

flannelgraph for Sunday School, please contact Sara Backes at
