Loving and Learning in Lodi September 22 2019
The gift of childhood…a time of learning, a time of playing, a time of growing into being an adult.
There are several passages in the Gospels where Jesus interacts with children or references them in his teaching. We’ll dive into those passages this week.
See You Sunday!

of Jesus verses 1 & 2 #277

1 - 3 TFWS #2092
I Was There to Hear Your Borning Cry verses 1 - 7 TFWS #2051
People were bringing
children to Jesus so that he would bless them. But the disciples scolded them.
When Jesus saw this, he grew angry and said to them, “Allow the children to
come to me. Don’t forbid them, because God’s kingdom belongs to people like
these children. I assure you that whoever doesn’t welcome God’s kingdom like a
child will never enter it.” Then he hugged the children and blessed them.
Leader: The word of God for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God.
THE CHURCH IN ACTION
Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Join us!
Informational meetings
with our Trustees: The Trustees will be explaining the process and
the plan they have for the exterior projects/repairs that our building needs
done: tuckpointing, replacing window lintels, replacing the kitchen windows,
and installing a ramp. They have been working with contractors to obtain bids
for the work and are ready to begin. We will offer the meeting three times: Sunday,
September 29th following worship, Tuesday, October 1st at
7:00 p.m. and Wednesday, October 2nd at 10:00 a.m. You only need
to attend one meeting. The information will be the same at each
meeting. We’ll explain the projects, the plan for funding the projects and
the timeline for the projects. There will be a question and answer time as
well. In 2021, our beautiful building will turn 100. We want to have the
exterior in good shape as we celebrate the 100 years of worship and ministry we
have had under its roof!
