LOOKING FOR A SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY OPPORTUNITY?

Come share time with us as we study these writings together.

COFFEE AND TEA ONSALE NOW!  In the fellowship hall  the “Free Trade” coffee, tea and cocoa are all $1.00 off. Stock up and be ready for the cooler fall weather…Aaaahhhhhh….

A NEW PICTORIAL DIRECTORY IN OUR FUTURE There are still some families and individuals that have not had their pictures taken for the new directory.  Imaging Committee will be tracking down those that have not had their photo taken yet.  Remember to bring your smiles.

SPECIAL MUSIC?  Do you play an instrument?  Would you like to sing a song during a service?  Do you have a special gift that could enhance the worship experience?  Sign up on the narthex table and you will be contacted for scheduling.

THE LITTLE RED WAGON–HAYSVILLE COMMUNITY OUTREACH  will be collecting the usual pantry items for the months leading up to the holidays.  Meals in a box, canned fruits and veggies are staples of meals for families.  When the wagon comes around just place your items inside. Thank you for your generosity to this ministry.

THE 2011 BUDGET IS BEING PLANNED by the Finance Committee.  If your group, committee or ministry would like to be considered for funding for the next year’s budget, please submit a written proposal to the office that outlines what you want.  Since we use a zero based approach to planning our annual budget, it is important that groups plan ahead and not assume the budget is the same from year to year.    Deadline for submissions is September 30.

UPCOMING CONCERTS Peter Eide will be here again (and this time with a full band!) on Sept 30 at Holy Cross Lutheran.  See the flyer in today’s bulletin or Loretta for more information.

CHILDREN – YOUTH – CONFIRMATION PROGRAMS   Remember to sign up in the Narthex is you wish your child to participate in 1^st Bible, 1^st Communion or Confirmation.  See the flyer included in today’s bulletin.
