St John Lutheran Church
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
August 2 - 8, 2026
Weekly Announcements
Stewardship Notes: Matthew 14:17-18 – “They said to him, ‘We have only five loaves here and two fish.’ And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’”
The five loaves and two fish were all that the disciples had. But when they handed them over to the Lord, the multitudes were fed. Apart from Jesus, all we do and all we have comes to nothing. But in Jesus, the Lord blesses all we do and all we have for His gracious work.
Welcome Visitors – we are blessed to have you join us for Divine Service today. We kindly request you sign our Guest Book at the back of the church and/or fill out a Welcome Card and place it in the offering plate. Thank You.
Today - Elders Meeting – after Worship
New Church Directory is being prepared (paper listing). If you have a new address, phone number, or email, and/or if you don’t want your address or email shared, tell Sharon or e-mail the church at info@sjlc-libbymt.org. I will get the directory out A.S.A.P.
Basic Needs Store and Mission Store – recently received items that could not be given to Orphan Grain Train. They were very appreciative. s/Evangelism Board
Reminder – Still have LOTS of disposable food containers in the Youth Room and parchment paper in the kitchen. Help Yourself!
In the back are copies of the last 5 weeks’ worth of Pastor’s sermons and the bulletins if you need them. They are in the very bottom boxes to the left. (Pastor’s sermons are not on the website.)
Share Your Blessings! Aaron is going back to school at Concordia University – Irvine. We have had since May to enjoy and be amazed by his organ work. As you know, University costs are great, and we have witnessed and heard what benefits Aaron has gained by this last year. As we did last year, we prayerfully ask members of this congregation to give monetary gifts of any amount to Aaron by cash or a personal check. He would greatly appreciate it. This will offset any costs toward his education. Do not put money in the offering plate or write a check to the church for him anytime between now and August 16th. He is looking at going into the music ministry for the LCMS. Thank you for anything that will help Aaron to achieve this goal. s/Dan Howard
An Elders Member List is in your box. Your name is listed under the Elder’s Name. If you have any questions, ask Pastor or Dan Howard.
