SUNDAY'S FORCAST: 
GREAT WEATHER

We're Open For His Business
 

Weather on Sunday: GOOD

Because the Pastor was raised in Cleveland, church will open for business on Sunday.  But he advises the elderly not to venture out in bad weather conditions.  For everyone else,  the weather is going to be perfectly fine, and we are going to rock the house for Jesus this Sunday.

Ceramic Cups.

Thanks to all who responded to the Ceramic Cup survey.  We had a chance to purchase some really cool mugs at the cheapest prices we've ever seen.   But the survey did not produce enough interest to make this a worthwhile venture.   

 

 

CCN Survey.

Please, let us know what you think about CCN Learning Opportunities.  This will help us to build our calendar of events for the year.  And we'd like to know what you think might help you in your Christian walk.   If you haven't completed the survey yet - please help us and click on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LKLSK63

Finances are Down by THOUSANDS$$$$.
This Sunday you'll read in the bulletin about a few churches who have suffered GREATLY financially.  Salem's finances are down right now too, but not like some places whose deficit is bigger than our annual budget.  Never-the-less, we are continuing to practice wise Good Sense stewardship principles.   We have a really awesome finance team at Salem.  You can read more about this in the bulletin and in your quarterly financial reports (handed out in church).  

 

As a temporary measure, we are going to reduce utilities cost by illuminating meetings that require the use of the upstairs section of the church (Monday Prayer will now be in the church office - located in downstairs in the brick building, Wednesday Evening Prayer, and Saturday morning Praise and Worship practices). 

 

NEW SECRET Prayer Meetings  shhhhhh!

We may not be meeting formally at the church for prayer.  But we're thinking of opening some other prayer opportunities through either the internet, conference calling, emails,  text messaging, or just good ole' fashioned pieces of paper.

 

We'll be sending out a survey on that pretty soon, to check on your level of interest in praying with other believers for the church to be a significant force in the world today.  We have been encouraged to make a serious effort to activate prayer amongst church members (not just because of Haiti or finances).  I'm in agreement with the challenge, and would like to open up whatever it is that could help more people to make "knee time" for Jesus.   All the greatest miracles and changes have been the result of "concerts of prayer" by the body of Christ?  Wanna see some neat stuff happen?!!!  Be thinking about how you might become more involved in this prayer movement.  Watch for the next "prayer" survey!

 

WANTING TO HELP HAITI! Here's some ministries that do not have administrative costs taken out. 
100 % MISSION 
 There are a great number of awesome missionary groups out there like LWI or Red Cross.  Many of these organizations do pull out an adminstrative fee of up to 9%.  But for those who are looking for 100% of their offerings to go exactly where they want it to go.  Here are a few options...
