Samaritan Purse has notified us that our 53 shoeboxes went to Guatemala and Peru.
Please continue to pray for your shoeboxes—that they may change hearts and lead the children to Jesus.
The annual spaghetti dinner and auction will soon be upon us.
Please save Saturday, March 8th at 5 pm for the big event! This year, in honor and
memory of our beloved Jim McGuire, the auction will have a nautical theme.
The proceeds will be funneled into the youth ministry program at Salem.
We need every member of the church to make this event successful.
Please consider donating items for both the silent and live auction. There is a
table at the back of the church where you can bring your items.
Help will be needed for the following: kitchen, set up, check in/out,
contacting businesses. Please see Kelly Wagner or Conni McChesney.
If you know former youth and adults who were involved with the youth
ministry over the years, please invite them. We would love to hear how time
spent in the Salem youth group impacted their lives and why it is so important
to invest in our young people!
Be sure to invite friends and family! It’s a very fun evening!
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new opportunity for spiritual growth and fellowship in our church community. Starting March 2025, we will launch a 13-week Adult Bible Study, open to all adults who are eager to dive deeper into God’s Word.
When: Every Sunday evening, starting March 2025, at 6:30pm
Where: TBA
Duration: 13 weeks
This study is designed to provide:
• In-Depth Scripture Exploration: Engage with key biblical passages that will deepen your understanding of God’s Word and its application to your daily life.
• Practical Life Application: Learn how to navigate life’s challenges through the lens of Scripture.
• Community and Fellowship: Connect with fellow believers in an atmosphere of mutual support, encouragement, and prayer.
• Accessible to All Levels: Whether you’re new to Bible study or have years of experience, this study is tailored for everyone.
Our goal is to strengthen our spiritual foundation as individuals and as a church body. Through these 13 weeks, we will grow together, encourage one another, and equip ourselves to better fulfill the Great Commission.
To ensure materials are prepared for everyone, we kindly ask that you register by February 16, 2025.
Sign-up sheets will be available at the information table, or you can register by contacting the church office. Questions? Please reach out to Dave Pinkerman.
Let’s journey together through Scripture and experience God’s transformative power in our lives and our church. We can’t wait to see you there!
Marion Salem Church will have worship on Sundays regardless of weather so long
as Pastor can cross parking lot to get into building. If you cannot make it safely and
have a portion of leadership in service, please let Pastor know and we will move to
a backup plan. Service can always be found streamed on Facebook.
All other activities such as Sunday school, youth group, choir practice, and other
meetings will be determined by their respective leaders. Communication will go
through their rosters.
Throughout December we will have tables in the crossover to the Family Center for you to place Christmas Cards.
Please only place cards for those who attend Salem or are shut-ins from Salem.
Each month we serve between 6 to 10 families in our community through our food pantry.
During the month of December, we will be restocking food supplies through a reverse advent giving.
We are encouraging families to add one food item each day to a grocery bag and bring the bag to Sunday service at the end of each week to fill up our big Christmas box in the back of the sanctuary.
Our Food Pantry is open Monday 10am to Noon.
The children of Marion Salem will be presenting their version of The Christmas Promise on Sunday, December 15 during the morning service.
There will be worship, special music, the children’s bell choir and more.
Come and enjoy watching the children give their best to Jesus!
Boxes can be picked up in back of sanctuary or you may pack a wrapped shoebox of your own. Brochures explaining the program and suggestions for items to be packed can be picked up by the boxes too. Deadline for boxes to be returned is Sunday, November 17th.
We will be observing All Saints Sunday on Sun. Nov. 3rd. All members who have passed in the last year will be recognized. In addition, anyone who has lost a loved one since November 1st last year is welcome to send name, date of passing, and a picture to Pastor Jason to include in the memorial during worship that day.
