Announcements for 3-20-22

~Next week, our 3&4 year olds, Preschool, and Pre-K Classes will be presenting their memory work. Parents: please have your children to their classrooms by 9:15 AM. When they are finished, the children will join their families for the remainder of worship. Thank you!

  This is an email I received upon the request of our brother, Victor Pugach, pastor of House of God Church, a large congregation in Sioux Falls with mostly Ukrainian and Russian believers, and for myself, as the subject matter is very important.  On Sunday, March 20, from 2-3PM at the Levitt at the Falls Park (504 N. Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls), there will be a special prayer rally to together lift up the crisis in Ukraine. Please tell others about it as well, and please come if you are able. Thank-you!  Also, in your mailboxes is a letter from Pastor Victor Pugach and House of God Church, personally describing the crisis in their homeland, and an appeal to join them in offering financial support---"donations are forwarded straight to the churches on the front lines of this humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. 

Address of the church: House of God Church, 3205 S. Six Mile Rd., Sioux Falls, SD 57110."
