ENDING NEXT SUNDAY: Our summer ministry project will end next Sunday. It’s not too late to donate school supplies, craft supplies, socks, and underwear to our donation tables. Craft supplies will be donated in September to POTTERS FIELD 99 on Highland Avenue, a group of Christian adults that provides mentoring and activities several times a week for children with limited or inadequate parental supervision. School supplies and clothing items will be distributed to children in need by the teachers and nurses at HARRY ABATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Niagara Falls. THANK YOU for your care and generosity in caring for our city’s children in need.
TODAY is the last Sunday to donate to AID FOR MAUI through LCMS Disaster Response, our August Mission Envelope designation. If you wish to support our LERT teams (Lutheran Emergency Response Teams) working in Maui, please place your mission envelope in the offering plate today. You can also donate online under “monthly mission” until August 31 (Thursday).
THANK YOU for your tremendous support of our Candy Sale Fundraiser. All candy has been sold and the total profit will be available soon. Thanks to Virginia Markel and Sherry Cassatt for their faithful supervision of the youth at the candy table. Watch for another candy sale later in the fall.
RALLY DAY PICNIC SIGN UP: There will be a congregational picnic after worship on Rally Day, September 10. Hamburgs, hotdogs, and beverages will be provided. Please sign up on the glass case if you will be joining the fun.
FLU SHOTS: Rite Aid will be at Grace on September 24 after worship to provide flu shots for those who desire one. Most insurances are accepted (be sure to bring your card).
CHOIR: Please mark your calendars. The choir will have two rehearsals in September, on Wednesday, 9/13, and Wednesday 9/20. We will sing during worship on September 24. We hope to see all of our “old” members back, and welcome a few new voices. All are welcome. Ability to read music is not required.
SOCIAL MINISTRIES will meet after worship on September 17. New members are welcome.
