LIFE TOGETHER
The quarterly voter’s meeting will be held TODAY January 22, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall in Creston.
Lutheran Schools Week: On the back of the green song sheet, that is your bulletin today, you will find information about National Lutheran Schools Week activities that will be held this week at Trinity Preschool . Upon This Rock is the theme for the week. Christ is our Cornerstone, on Him alone we build.
Information about the 14th annual Clarinda Lutheran School German Dinner is on the table in the narthex. It will be Sunday, February 5, 2017 from 11 a.m. –1 p.m. Cost of the meal is a free will donation.
EARLY RISERS meet every Tuesday, at 6:30 a.m. We are currently reading and discussing the prophet, Isaiah. You are welcome to join us for God’s Word, coffee and doughnuts either regularly or occasionally. There is no charge.
LifeLight Bible Study will begin Monday, February 6, at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m. We will study of the book of John, Part one. Dr. Luther wrote this about the book of John: “Therefore the evangelist [John] is a master above all the other evangelists, for he treats of this doctrine of Christ’s divinity and His humanity persistently and diligently. He joins these two natures together. When Christ becomes man, He speaks to us, performs miracles, and dies according to His humanity. And then His divinity is also established with plain words.” For information and study materials, contact Mike or Janette Lang.
It is time to renew subscriptions to the Lutheran Witness magazine.

Pastor Rutz feels that this is an essential resource for every Lutheran Christian. Included in each issue is a section with articles about news and events in Iowa District West. The cost of a year’s subscription is $22.67. On the table in the narthex is a list of people who currently subscribe. If you wish to renew your subscription circle YES next to your name. If you do not wish to renew your subscription please circle NO. If you would like to begin a subscription please add your name to the list and provide your current address.

MISSIONS
A diaper drive continues throughout January. This drive is to help out the Life Care Clinic here in Creston. Diapers that are needed are Huggies, Pampers & Luvs in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, but any brand will be appreciated. The most requested diaper size is 3. All diapers can be dropped off at the Clinic or brought to church and put in a receiving blanket lined basket in the narthex.
The Creston Clinic hours are: Monday 10-2; Tuesday & Thursday 1-7. The address is: 1109 S. Sumner, Creston, IA 50801. 641-782-2150.
If you have questions you can talk to Hannah Shady or any member of the Mission Board. Hannah will be speaking at Trinity Creston on Sunday, January 15, when the Sanctity for Life Sunday will be observed. She will explain all about the Life Care Clinic.
Thank you in advance for helping out the families at the LC Clinic. From The Mission Board.
Baby Bundles: The LWML continues to accept items for the Baby Bundles, which could be used for a girl or boy. These are given out at the Life Care Clinic here in Creston. Some of the newborn sized items are: onesies, booties/socks, sleepers, caps, burp bibs and diapers. Also included in a bundle is a Bible, prayer book and a mustard seed devotion; these items are then wrapped in a receiving blanket. There is a table set up in the back of the sanctuary that displays all items that are wrapped up for one bundle. These items can always be placed in the basket located in the narthex. If anyone ever has a question or concern you can always talk with Hannah Shady or Maggie Dory. Thank you to everyone for helping to support this important ongoing Mission project.
Thank You
