Announcements:
If you are leaving town for the winter, please let the office know your winter address so we can send the Epistle and other mailings to you.
Orphan Grain Train Announces New Office The previous Clemons Lutheran School is being repurposed as an Orphan Grain Train-Central Iowa office. It opened on August 18 for a six month trial period. It will be open every Tuesday morning from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. At these times volunteers will collect items to be sorted and boxed and then shipped by cargo container to some needy destination. Things can also be dropped off by appointment by calling Sandy Duncan at 641-477-8667. An OPEN HOUSE will be held Sat, Oct 17 from 9 am – 2 pm. See the bulletin board for more details.
The LWML Mite collection will be on the 4th Sunday beginning in September. We will leave the Mite box out on the 1st Sunday also until everyone has adjusted to this change.
We are in need of a treasurer for our preschool. We ask that you pray about serving the Lord in this way. Questions can be directed to Lori Jenks or Kent Ziebell.
The Sunday School Mission this fall will go to support the Lutheran Heritage Foundation’s PEOPLE NEEDING GOD – sharing the Gospel with the kids of Papua New Guinea. They have translated a Bible Studies book as well as the Catechism for children of PNG. For $5 a book can be shared with a child of PNG. We have targeted a goal of $575 enough to match our roster of 115 kids from 3 years – 12th grade! We will collect offerings through the end of the year.
Trunk or Treat is Coming! Sunday, October 25, 2015 from 2:00 – 3:30 pm. The community is invited to this fourth annual FREE event to trick or treat while enjoying family friendly crafts, games, and snacks. You can help by: 1. Hosting a trunk (please provide pre-packaged treats or give-aways) 2. Donating small candy or trinkets to hand out (candy must be prepackaged) 3. Volunteering at the event. See the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
Family Service Quilters: We will be quilting and/or packaging quilts for shipment this Thursday, October 15, beginning at 11 a.m. We will break for lunch at noon, then continue until 2 p.m.
Reminder– Bring your Bethesda Food Pantry Donations Next Sunday, October 18.
