ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. If you are a guest, please visit the Welcome Desk outside of the Sanctuary and fill out a Connect with Leidy’s Card.
2. As you partner with us in the work of the Kingdom, please place your gifts and offerings in the offering pillars at the back of the Sanctuary.
3. Why We Use Creeds & Confessions at Leidy’s Church: In our worship services at Immanuel Leidy’s Church, you will notice that we regularly use historic creeds and confessions, such as the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Heidelberg Catechism, with others to come. These ancient statements faithfully summarize what the church has long understood the Bible to teach, keeping us anchored in “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). These creeds and confessions are not additions to Scripture, but faithful summaries of it—guides that help us worship with clarity, unity, and joy.
4. Ash Wednesday Service – On February 18th Leidy’s Church will have a 6:00 pm worship service, which will include the Lord’s Supper. Ash Wednesday typically begins the Lenten season, roughly six weeks before Easter Sunday. It is a time of contemplation of the days leading up to the Lord Jesus’ Passion in preparation of His historic bodily resurrection from the dead.
5. Sunday Morning Core Seminars - February 15: Ten Rules for Resolving Conflict (Part 2). We will continue to learn and discuss how the spirit of reconciliation, which God demonstrated in the Gospel, can be demonstrated through your life. That may sound too optimistic but remember that the Gospel provides both an example for you and the promise of life-changing power in you.
6. Night to Shine is this week! We need Buddies!! Please consider volunteering in this important role or ask your friends and family to join in!! Registration is found at Leidyschurch.org/nts.
7. Kids Quest is Coming! The Spring session starts on February 25 and runs through April 8th. Sign up on the website, in Church Center to participate OR volunteer!! We look forward to another great session.
8. Young Adults Third Sunday coming up: Join us on February 15th for some Pizza & Bowling, immediately following the service. We'll meet at the Pizza Box (across the street from the bowling alley) for lunch and then head to Earl Bowl for some bowling! Contact Justin Coale for information.
9. Here’s a good idea: why not save all those First Sip suggestions in a file somewhere so you can use them, refer to them, pray them, down the road? You’re welcome.
10. Mission House Work Day - Saturday, February 21 at 9AM. If you're handy (or nosy) and would like to help with some minor upkeep work at the Mission House (or snoop around to see what the fuss is about), please join members of the Mission Committee for a workday! Projects: repaint walls, hang curtains, move furniture, clean out the fireplace, and other odd jobs. While we're happy to do a brief tour at 9am, we plan to start at 9:30am! Coffee will be provided in the morning and pizza for lunch. Please contact Vangie at evangeline.niederhaus@gmail.com for more details.
11. We have Used desk/office chairs available for FREE. Please contact Dave Doran or the office if you’re interested. 215-723-8707 or office@leidyschurch.org.
12. The flowers are in celebration of Sophie, Elaine Frank’s service dog, who turns 16 today.
