COMMUNION SUNDAY’S July 6th & August 3rd. Atonement’s Communion offering is now solely dedicated to the Missions Team. Donations can be made using a church envelope, cash donation, and checks made out to Atonement Church with “Communion Fund” on the memo line. This money will be used for outreach in the community, as well as globally.

12 NOON – THE LORD’S PRAYER As part of the Global Methodist Church, everyone is invited to stop at 12 Noon sharp, if possible, and take a moment to pray with all our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. The Lord’s prayer is the perfect prayer model. So if time permits, why not take a moment and ponder the different segments of the prayer and go deeper with God? May God bless the Global Methodist Church worldwide as we all devote this time of prayer to God.

ATONEMENT’S FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN began Sunday, April 13 with the Financial Chairperson, Walter Erbenich’s announcement. Atonement’s finances have been in decline. It is understandable with the present economy and inflation, money is tight for many in our congregation. Yet, by faith and standing on the Word of God, the Finance Team is asking for the 151 “giving units” of Atonement Church to give an additional $5.00 per week to your regular offering. Also, we will restart the use of Passing the Offering plates during worship, hoping to generate additional giving. In taking these steps, we will generate approximately $40,000.00 within a year. Walter will be giving updates in the coming months.

KNEEL FOR ISRAEL is one of Atonement’s ministries of prayer that is critically important at this time. We need praying persons to sign up! With the Middle East engulfed in wars for over 500 days, now is the time the Jewish nation needs prayer coverage. Pray for God to provide for their dire situations including threats of annihilation. Israeli’s need protection and help from loss of life, homes, and everyday necessities. Visit the display in the “red sofa area” to learn more. Ask at the Welcome Center, if you need help.
