Please obey the signs and leave these spaces available for those who need them. Juno Beach Police will ticket violators $250. COMMUNION PROCEDURES Everyone who believes that Jesus Christ is truly present in the sacrament and sincerely wishes to commune with Him is welcome to participate in the celebration. Children may come forward for a blessing. When you receive the wafer, you may dip it into the wine (red) or grape juice (white). If you would like to participate in the sacraments but are unable to come forward, please inform an usher and communion will be brought to you.

Prayer Ministry Small Group We will be starting "Before Amen" by Max Lucado on Tuesday Feb. 3 at 6:30 PM in the Learning Center. Mr. Lucado shares his views on the power of a simple prayer. "‘Before Amen’ has a winning combination of simplicity and depth. This book is appropriate for people who struggle to pray and for all who long to pray more effectively. Max's 'pocket prayer' is brief but comprehensive; it helps readers turn to the Lord quickly and easily....in all circumstances. ‘Before Amen’ is practical, enjoyable, and inspiring." ~ Sarah Young, author of "Jesus Calling" and “Jesus Today." So what is the "Pocket Prayer?" Come join us and find out! Please bring your own book and read chapters 1 & 2 before our first session.

Lutheran World Relief Mission Quilts Tied In Faith ~ Sent In Hope ~ Wrapped In Love In 2013 Lutheran World Relief sent more than 485,931 quilts to people in over 21 countries. Quilts are sent to both communities in constant need and in response to natural disasters all over the world. Although quilts can be used as bed coverings (typically for several people), and warmth, they can also be used as a baby carrier, a sack, a sunshade, a market display, a room divider, a shawl and many other ways most of us couldn’t imagine. Quilts become so much more than a clean new blanket. They serve as a reminder that someone, however distant, cares. Lutheran World Relief has two large warehouses, located in Minnesota and Maryland. After church today, our quilts will be packed and taken to Ft. Lauderdale, where they will join quilts made by other congregations. Then they will be trucked to Maryland where they will be sorted and baled, loaded on freighters and shipped to where they are needed. They will then be distributed by LWR or one of its many partners, including the United Methodist Committee on Relief, the Catholic Organization for Development and Solidarity and International Orthodox Christian Charities. Thanks to a new quilt tracker, we learned that Holy Spirit quilts went to the Philippines last year. Each year our group has been growing so we are able to donate more quilts. By themselves, they represent a small drop in the bucket. However, with hundreds of Lutheran churches across America working together to make over 400,000 quilts yearly, we are able to be a part of something that really makes a difference in the world. 9 Holy Spirit Lutheran is committed to helping those in need. It is part of our mission!
