Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
July 5 - 11, 2026
Weekly Announcements
Stewardship Notes: Sixth Sunday after Pentecost – Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Jesus has come to do the work so that we might have rest from burdens and labors we are not capable of bearing. He frees us from sin, death and the demands of the Law. In that peace and rest of Jesus we find a new purpose – His light yoke is not a burden to bear, but a joy!
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.
