WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY SET ON GOSPEL OF MARK

A women's Bible study on the Gospel of Mark will meet at 6:30 p.m. alternate Wednesdays beginning Jan. 24 in the lounge at Jehovah Lutheran Church, 1566 Thomas Avenue, St. Paul.

The basis for the sessions will be "The Gospel of Mark: The Jesus We’re Aching For" by Christian author Lisa Harper.

According to promotional material for the book, Mark "unveils a Jesus of unparalleled power and authority but also a Jesus of humility and love. And while this Jesus invites each of us into a greater story through His teachings, He demands we come as active participants. We must acknowledge Him, seek salvation in Him, and follow Him wherever He leads."

Sessions are free. Refreshments are provided. All are welcome.

REFUGEES NEED SPRING, SUMMER CLOTHES

Jehovah Lutheran Church is gathering spring and summer clothing and household goods such as bedding, cookware and dishes for refugees from the Congo.

The church partners with CEEDS, the Center for Employment and Education Development Services (CEEDS), which helps refugees from the African nation enduring years of civil war.

Donors can leave items at the church's Donation Center, indoors to the left of the entry at 1566 Thomas in St. Paul. Bring items before or after worship at 10:15 a.m. Sundays, or call the church at 651-644-1421 to set up another drop-off time.

Thirty Bags of Clothing to Refugee Families
at Feb. 17 Clothing Distribution

Pastor Justin’s 15 faithful workers plus five workers from Jehovah and friends prepared tables full of clothing for distribution in the Youth Room on Feb. 17.

Refugee families were well served and selected many clothing and household items. One homeless couple also selected items. After the distribution the remaining clothing and shoes were given to Crossing HOME, St. Joseph’s Coat, Goodwill, and Lutheran Social Services for their further distribution.

Many thanks to all who worked so very hard.

MORE DONATIONS ARE NEEDED
TO HELP REFUGEES GET ESTABLISHED

During winter the need for warm clothing continues as the weather in Minnesota is much colder than what the refugees have experienced “back home.” Please pass the word around to anyone you know who may have children/teen/adult warm sweaters, jackets, coats, scarves, hats, gloves, boots to share.

Items may be brought to the Donation Center at Jehovah Lutheran Church, 1566 Thomas Ave., before or after the Sunday worship (which begins at 10:15 a.m.) or by appointment during the week. Call the church office at 651-644- 1421. The Donation Center has receipt slips for your donation and a brochure about CEEDS for you to take.
