“The Bread That Binds” Luke 24: 13-35

“A huge Thank You to my special Faith family for all the prayers, cards, visits and calls during my recent injury and stay at Harbor View and rehab in Stanwood. I was truly blessed with all the attention I received from you. I continue to heal but it will be a while before I’m back to 100%, so continued prayer for healing would be appreciated. Again, thank you! “ Howard Lemke Urgent Need for Matt and Catherine Jackson: “Matt and I are looking for a new place to live. There has been a serious mold problem in our house for over a year that our landlord is unable or unwilling to deal with. We're worried how much it affects all of us but, especially Tegan; she's very allergic to it. Unfortunately, there are virtually no rentals available in our price range so, we're reaching out to our church family in hopes that we can find something other than what's advertised on Craigslist. My brother Nick and Matt's brother Josh are willing to move in with us should we not be able to find something we can afford on our own. We're either looking for a two bedroom for under $800 a month or a 3 or 4 bedroom for under $1500 a month (to fit both our brothers, should we not be able to find anything in our first price range). Please let Catherine or Matt know if you know of anything that could work for our family.” Love INC Financial Mentoring Classes: If you (or you and your spouse) would like to dig a little deeper into what the Bible says about smart household money management; AND if you would like to confidentially discuss your financial situation with a Financial Mentor who can help you put together a budget and plan for getting out of debt, then call the Love INC office as soon as possible (360 419-7061). Classes begin September 21st, 2016 -March 2016, and will be held in Mount Vernon. NOW is the time to get organized and turn things around!! Save the Date: Women Hand in Hand: A Story of Hope Women’s Conference, featuring Allison Allen, will be at Sedro-Woolley High School Friday, September 23rd (6:30 pm) and 24th (9 am– 12 noon.)
