✛FELLOWSHIP✛

All praise to our Lord and Savior for our wonderful Fellowship ministry.  Our Super Bowl pot luck was a smashing hit despite the really cold temperatures.  There were two kinds of hoagies from Capriotti's (Bobbi and Italian).  There were also two kinds of wings from Shop Rite (BBQ and Buffalo hot).  We also had a marvelous assortment of side dishes and desserts to accompany these main courses.  

Our next potlucks will be:

March 8th - Tacos and Bingo (Also Daylight Savings - so set your clocks ahead)

April 5th - Easter Breakfast

All are welcome.  Invite your neighbors, friends, co-workers.  The more the merrier.  A signup sheet will be sent around in the next week or two.  Enjoy the warmer temperatures.

Blessings,

Lilly Derrickson

Playground Fun – Please join us EVERY Sunday after service (weather permitting) at the playground. Children should be accompanied by an adult. This gives us another fellowship experience as the adults chit chat and the children enjoy the playground equipment.  

+EDUCATION+

What does God say in Exodus about the ten commandments? 

5 "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands1 of those who love me and keep my commandments. KJV Ex. 20: 5-6    

Martin Luther says, “God threatens to punish everyone who breaks these commandments. We should be afraid of His anger because of this and not violate such commandments. BUT he promises grace and all good things to those who keep such commandments. Because of this, we, too, should love Him, trust Him and willingly do what His commandments require.      Martin Luther Small Catechism

But we have a reprieve if we believe that Jesus Christ died for us, that He paid for our sins.

+SERVICE+

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM 

Faithful Servants, 

First, a few words of thanks for once again filling our freezer with your casseroles and brownies for the good people at Emmanuel Dining Room.   

I spoke with the folks at EDR this morning and was told not to come tomorrow (the 27th is our day) due to the heavy snow and “nothing plowed, nothing shoveled, and no parking available.”  
So, our casseroles and brownies remain in the freezer for Friday, February 27th.  We have all we will need for that date. 

Thank you again for serving Christ by serving the needy people of Wilmington.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.”  Proverbs 19:17

Blessings, George and Dale

We sort and pack donations for people in need on Wednesdays 10:00am – 2:30pm and Saturdays 9am –1:30pm at the former Dansko warehouse: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Please consider joining us, we welcome teens through adults! 

Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library or visit our webpage for the full list of items our recipients need most, current hours of operation, and the latest updates. You may also click ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN under the Concordia SERVICE tab for current news. Donated items should be placed in the All Saints' Hall closet (to the right as you enter the room). 

Our most immediate need is for a new warehouse location as our lease expires in fall 2026! We prefer a southeastern Chester County location, or other safe neighborhood near the PA–DE state line, with 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft, a loading dock and parking for at least a dozen cars. If you have any information, please contact OGT volunteers Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.

Please consider volunteering; you will bless others and be greatly blessed as well!
