Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
The Lord will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 146: 1-2, 7b-10

Giant Food Cash For Causes
Providence-Fort Washington has enrolled in the
Giant Food Cash For Causes Program
This program allows us to purchase
Giant Gift Cards at a 5% discount and then resell them for face value.
The 5% difference is then put in our General Operating Fund.
The difference between our cost and your purchase price
is also credited on your annual giving statement.
Pastor Stephen has some cards available for purchase
and you can order cards to be delivered next week.
The cards have no expiration date and can be used for anything Giant sells.
Please see Pastor Stephen to purchase cards or if you have any questions.
SANCTUARY RENOVATION
The Sanctuary Renovation is complete!
The cost came in at $19,000

We continue to ask for donations to cover the cost of renovation.
Charting Our Course
The Vision Committee has completed a “first sort” of all the suggestions received
and is distributing them to various groups within the church for their comments.
They expect to make recommendations for implementation of ideas soon.
We are still interested in your ideas on how to move our church forward.
Aluminum Can Recycling
We are collecting and recycling aluminum cans.
Please bring your aluminum cans in
and we will sell them to the recycling center.
Do you have something to add?
Do you have an announcement that need to get out to everyone in the church?
If so, please e-mail it to me (srricketts@verizon.net) and I will include it in the next

Pastor Stephen
