President’s Post/Church Council News; 

*Stepping into the Fall Season*

August was the month of the Church picnic. It was great!! As in all Lutheran gatherings, there was more food than we could eat. Thanks to all that gathered for the picnic and brought the groceries. Everyone had a great time and meaningful fellowship.

September starts the season for the church council to be working on the budget for 2026. This is, many times, a two-month process. A lot of discussions, meetings, and math work in front of us. 

This year as always, we are looking for people to be on the church council. 

RTG seems to still be struggling to keep teachers and to financially break even. The Church has covered the fair share every month this year. Annually, we are looking at a church contribution of $18,000. We have multiple members that have been helping us weave our way through these difficult times. Some I do not know through contributions but thank you to Michael and Pam for the time spent at the day care. Even without paying the fair share, RTG has lost over $10,000 dollars in seven months. We need every member to put their hands together and pray to God that solutions can be found to make it another year.

WE PRAY: Heavenly Father, please help us to always keep our lives in faithful focus, that we may guide others to your Love, that they may know the meaning of your Grace. Give our voices meaning to the ears of those in need. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

In our Lord’s Name, DeAl Dankers
