Mission & Ministry Weekend at Salem


Our focus on missions continues this weekend! In our worship, we're going to see how Paul, as challenging as it was, followed Jesus' call to take the gospel to "the ends of the earth." Sometimes it's hard for us to take the good news to the ends of our driveway, but we'll hear how well-equipped we are to share the news about Jesus wherever we are and with whomever we meet. We will watch the new movie, To the Ends of the Earth, during the Bible study hour downstairs in the Fellowship Hall, and then in our Bible studies for the next few weeks God's Word will equip us to share God's Word wherever we go. We have copies of the movie available after all our services. Please take one and if you can, share it with someone who needs to see it! If you'd like to learn more about the movie, go to https://totheendsoftheearthmovie.com/.




Also, please remember that this month we are gathering offerings for Gentle Shepherd Lutheran School in Guntur, India. The school has 220 students and support for this school is not part of the WELS budget. Along with the school, the ministry operates six orphanages. The cost of caring for one child in the orphanage is $25 a month and the cost of educating one child is $75 a year. Our collection goes a long way to help these children get a good education and even better--to learn about Jesus!
On the information table in the narthex, you will find more material about the mission along with donation envelopes. We will also be handing out donation envelopes during each service this weekend. Last year, we were able to send $3,541 and it would be wonderful to do the same again this year. Checks should be made out to Salem Lutheran Church.  Please return your donations by October 31.
