A SIGN UP SHEET is available on the glass case for this year’s Trunk or Treat to be held on Saturday, October 18, from 3 – 4:30 pm. That is only four weeks away! We need to know as soon as possible how many are planning to participate so we can begin advertising. Please sign up if you plan to bring your car and join in the fun with our congregation’s and neighborhood’s families. We are also accepting donations of candy and treats. If you are able to help in this way, you may leave your treats on the donation tables in the chapel and narthex.

Ben and Ella will also be joining us for worship, and will be enhancing our service with a selection on their violins during the offering. Please plan to join us for this special opportunity.
September mission envelopes: This September support the mission of our local Lutheran schools: Holy Ghost and Saint John. Both provide quality education with a biblical foundation to kids in PreK through 8th grade. To donate, use your designated September mission envelopes or write “September mission” on your check or the envelope find in the pew.
Your donations will go to tuition assistance to help more children afford going to these great schools!
