October’s Moving Forward

      Pastor Appreciation is on October 13th!  Pastor Biar and family have been here for four years now! The time has just flown.  Let’s show the Pastor how much he is appreciated! There will be a basket for cards in the Fellowship Hall. 

Reformation is this month, and we are planning a Reformation lunch after the service on October 27th.  We could use some help to coordinate, serve, and bring a (German) side dish or dessert; any food that represents Autumn or October - Ok, apple pie. 😊 There is a signup sheet for this event posted in the fellowship hall!  Hope to see you all. 

The first week of November is the annual craft fair. LWML is looking for a couple of people that can help set up on Thursday October 31 and tear down Saturday afternoon for the event. This event is a big thing for the ladies of our congregation. Please volunteer or if not that, join us at the fair and find a couple of the Christmas gifts you need to buy this year. Contact Sylvia, Tami Woods, or Mary Lint if you have any questions or if you would like to help in any way with the fair.

       We are also getting ready for the Voters meeting in December. This time of year is always full of meetings and budget talks. Along with the election of all the council and Elder/Deaconess positions we are also looking for more people to step up and help with Ushering and Alter Guild. This is the time of year where all of us need to look inside of ourselves and say, “WHAT CAN I DO FOR JESUS AND FOR THE CHURCH”?  Hymn #827 “Hark, the voice of Jesus Calling” says in Verse 1, “Who will answer gladly saying, “Here am I, send me, send me.”                               

       Now that the heat of summer is gone, let’s talk about having an outside workday at the church in October. There is still some painting, patching of concrete cracks, painting of the door at RTG and tree branches that need to be taken care of. 

May the cooler days of Autumn give relief from the heat and a smile on your face. Smiling is contagious. Share your smile with others and let the world see the Son’s light shine from you.

THE PRAYER: Heavenly Father, give us voices that by your words we may find those that need the light of Jesus in their lives. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
