New Member Orientation
How is Salem congregation organized? Who is on the Church Council? What is the responsibility of the boards and committee? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed next Sunday March 14th following the 10:30 service. Those who have joined in the past year are invited, but also if you have been a member and would like to be brought uptodate, you are invited to join us. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary.
Thank You
Thank you to all for your prayers, cards, phone calls, and visits while I was recuperating from my knee surgery. Hopefully I will be back soon among you.
God Bless. Marian Hosek
"Where in the World is God?"
“Where in the World is God?” Find out each Wednesday during Lent. We will have services Wednesdays at 4 & 7 pm. We will once again be serving Lenten Suppers from 4:45-6:30 pm each Wednesday. On the 10th, the Church Council & YES will be serving Beef & Chicken Burritos. These dinners are free-will and money raised is used by their organization to fund their activities!
Food Shelf
We are over 1050 lbs of items for the food shelf! We will continue to collect items for the food shelf. Collection sites are located in the narthex and outside the sixth grade classroom. Any donations are welcome, but there is a special need for family size juice drinks and paper products. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for the help
Through all of your generous donations, we received enough for the needy family to fix their car, reinstate their phone, and provide gas & food for several months! We thank everyone who donated to the family! To God be the Glory!
The Dead Sea Scrolls & The Bible
Beginning March 12, the Science Museum will have on display some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Questions are raised, i.e. How did we get the Bible? Can we trust our Bible today? How did the 66 books end up in our Bible? What is the Canon? What impact has the Dead Sea Scrolls had on Christianity? These will be some of the questions addressed in three Bible classes in March. On Thursday March 11th we will consider: How did we get the Bible? March 18th, "What about the Dead Sea Scrolls?" and on March 25th, "What about the Other Books not in the Bible?" We will meet at 7 pm in the sanctuary.
