“Framing Faith for the Future” Capital Campaign

Posted on by

Dear Member of St.Clairsville Lutheran Parish, On Sunday, February 8th, families of our congregation participated in the “Framing Faith for the Future” Capital Campaign raising more than $3,000 to help complete funding for much needed upgrades and improvements to Camp Sequanota. Gifts averaged $125 per family! Thank you to all who have already participated. We have certainly heard the story and know that the upgrades and improvements at Sequanota will help them be a better resource for meaningful ministry. It will enable them to touch thousands of lives each year.

If you haven’t already, please join all the families who made commitments on Sunday so that our response to this important effort will reflect the best effort of our congregation. Together, we can make a significant difference and touch many lives with the good news of Jesus Christ. If you need a commitment form please ask Pastor Donna.

BLESSING FOR TRAVELERS

Posted on by

As you prepare for your summer vacations, you may want to use this prayer before leaving on a journey.

P O God,
our beginning and our end,
you kept Abraham and Sarah in safety
throughout the days of their pilgrimage,
you led the children of Israel through the midst of the sea,
and by a star you led the magi to the infant Jesus.
Protect and guide us now as we [or substitute the names
of travelers] set out to travel.
Make our ways safe and our homecomings joyful,
and bring us at last to our heavenly home,
where you dwell in glory with our Lord Jesus Christ
and the life-giving Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
C Amen
