DEVOTION: Genesis 9:8-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17 God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

NEWS:
SHUT-IN CARE PACKAGES BEING ASSEMBLED THIS WEEKEND AT 11! PLEASE BRING ITEMS AND HELP US!!!
Don't forget to bring your items from the list below for our shut-in care packages this weekend! For those of you that don't know who a shut-in is, it is someone who can't get out of their house or the nursing home by themselves and it is very difficult for them to go anywhere because of physical or sometimes mental limitations. Right now there are seventeen such members of our congregation, but more get put on the list on a regular basis. Please show them you love them by bringing some of these items to church this Sunday.
Word search and crossword puzzle books
Stationery and greeting cards (all kinds), and stamps for them to write to folks
Coloring books and colors
Tissues
Mints (tic tacs are especially good)
