12 NOON- THE LORD’S PRAYER. As part of the Global Methodist Church, ev- eryone 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.

SAMARITAN’S PURSE WATER PROJECT Atonement Methodist Church learned a long time ago that the coins in our pockets/purses can add up to make a “real change” for good in our world. Samaritans Purse tells us on their web site that 748 million people live without access to clean water. Atonement’s coin collection (in the blue water jug in the Wel- come Center and in the mason jar up front at The Branch) has accumulated thousands of dol- lars for the Clean Well water projects. Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters are most welcome!
GRIEF SHARE – Meetings are now ongoing at 6:30pm in the SURGE Youth Room. Leaders are Bruce and Deborah Gayley. Call the church office or just show up. (302.798.8472) Even though the course has started, walk-in’s are welcome at any time.
QR CODE – Atonement now has a QR Code that will make giving to the church easier. Aim your camera on your phone on the code and it will take you to Atonement’s Giving Page on our website. And then, continue to follow the prompts. No App necessary!
WAKE-UP CALL: A daily devotional that is great! Wake-Up Call sets the pace for a good and godly day. Join your brothers and sisters at Atonement Church every morn- ing with the wakeupcall@seedbed.com. It is a Global Methodist publication that is an encouraging way to begin your day.
