SCRIPTURE READING

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (CSB) The Lord’s Supper

23

  For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you:

On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread,

24 

and when he had given

thanks, broke it, and said,“This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

25

 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, and said,

“This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

26

 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

For

Virtual Communion:

Provide your own choice of Juice and Bread, crackers, or chips

SBC Members, we are requesting your prayerful service in helping to choose men to serve as Deacons. Acts Chapter 6:3 commands us: As Brothers and sisters, to select from among you men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we can appoint to this duty to wait on tables, and 1 Timothy 3:8-13 (⁸Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; ⁹Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. ¹¹Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. ¹²Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. ¹³For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus).

Please seek out men who meet these qualifications and provide names to the office by September 12, 2021. Pastor Waddles and the Deacons Ministry will consult and present the recommendations to the congregation. May God’s Love, Power and Wisdom be with each of us in this endeavor. Blessings from Your Deacons Ministry.

When the AARP

Ride@50+ Program was launched in Washtenaw County this past

January, the types of rides provided were limited to essential rides - those associated with

medical, pharmacy and food/nutrition - because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their top priority is the health and well-being of staff, transportation providers, volunteers, and the community at large.

On July 28th, service was resumed for all trip types. Rides can be booked through the AARP Ride@50+ Program for all trips, including medical appointments, trips to the grocery store or pharmacy, social visits, rides to restaurants or retail, employment or job interviews, etc.

Please note they will continue to require all riders to confirm that they understand and acknowledge the inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the receipt of transportation services made available through the AARP Ride@50+ Program. The Program also asks that all passengers follow all applicable future and current COVID-19 laws, regulations, safety recommendations, and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, such as the wearing of a face covering. 

As we’ve all learned over the past 18 months, this situation is fluid and we will continue to monitor it and adjust our service and policies accordingly. Thanks very much!
