The Evangelism Committee needs help welcoming and registering members for the upcoming photo sessions. Please see the sign-up sheet that is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex.

The Book to Know group will meet Nov. 8th, 7:00 pm, at Carol Folkmann’s home to discuss “Luther and Katharina: A Novel of Love and Rebellion” by Jodi Hedlund. Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

If you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want to offer, we need members to sign up on the altar flower chart that is located on the bulletin board in the narthex.
