LADIES AID had a very successful Christmas Project this year which was to provide financial support for the Main Street Living television programming broadcasts.

NEW YEAR’S EVE worship service will not be held this year. However, we still encourage everyone to do their personal evening devotions, remembering that no matter what personal difficulties we will face next year, no matter what decisions we will have to make, no matter the times of uncertainty or anxiety in our lives, Jesus Christ … “who is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8) … will be there to strengthen us, help us, comfort us and guide us. Only God knows what 2013 will bring but whatever may happen, one thing remains the same: Jesus Christ, who is “our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home” (LSB 733 Verse 1).

DID YOU KNOW that LWML Sunday is traditionally held on the 1st Sunday in October in recognition of the outreach and fellowship efforts of the organization? Founding of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League actually goes back more than a century and a half. Beginning in the 1850s, women of the LC-MS started local auxiliaries to meet the needs of people – mending clothes for seminarians, equipping hospitals, establishing schools, developing convalescent and retirement homes, assisting orphanages and residences for people with disabilities, gathering clothing, furniture and food for indigents and funding mission endeavors at home and overseas. Not until the 1920s, however, did members of the congregational societies begin to coordinate their efforts by uniting in state and regional leagues. Oklahoma (in 1928) was the first to do this. Official approval was granted a decade later for a national LC-MS women’s entity.

09-11-2011 ANNOUNCEMENTS

BIBLES will be presented today to our 3rd graders: Matthew Mors, Andrea Walz, Dustin Walz, Katelyn Walz and Collin Helma. May these students learn and cherish the Word of God and keep it in their hearts forever.
INSTALLATION OF TEACHERS – Our Sunday School and Midweek School teachers being installed today are Kaitlyn Stern and Amber Sayler (Pre-Kindergarten thru 1st grade), Penny Saarie and Elizabeth Starner (2nd and 3rd grades), Penny Smidt ( 4th and 5th grades), Aleta Starner, Leann Schulz-Thomas and Cheri Knittel (6th thru 8th grades) and Rev. Richard Weeman (Midweek School). Substitute teachers for this year will be Amy Mors, Kristi Dannenbring and Lisa Andersen. We thank God for providing these teachers who are willing to spend time with our youth to teach them the truths of the Gospel.
PARENTS OF 5TH AND 6TH GRADERS are asked to attend a meeting after dinner today with Rev. Richard Weeman, who will be teaching our weekday school class.
SENIOR HIGH YOUTH GROUP will meet in the Fellowship Hall at 6:00 tonight for supper, Bible study and a business meeting.
“COME FOLLOW ME” is the theme of this year’s Christian Life Workshops. These workshops will be presented by Rev. Darren Olson (Zion, Canistota and St. John, Montrose). The closest workshop will be held at St. John Lutheran Church in Yankton on Sept. 23rd. More information is given in the notice posted on the bulletin board. All ladies are invited to attend!

SCHNABEL-MEHLHAFF WEDDING – Yesterday, Sept. 10th, Brian Mehlhaff and Tracey Schnabel exchanged marriage vows and loving commitments. May God bless their life together with wisdom, purity, self-sacrifice and love.
SEPTEMBER IS A MONTH OF FIRSTS! – Summer will be over soon. Several of our church’s activities will be restarting in September so be sure to check your calendar. The 18th will be the first day of Sunday School and the first Mentor/Mentee meeting of the new year. The 13th will be the first day of our Fall Tuesday Evening Bible class and the 14th will be the first day of Midweek School and the first Confirmation class.

THANK YOU to all who donated cleaning supplies and cash to Project Scrub Bucket. Thirteen 5-gallon buckets filled with cleaning supplies were taken to the Orphan Grain Train supply warehouse in Norfolk. The supplies were distributed to individuals who needed help with flood cleanup. Thanks to Pastor for delivering the supplies for the LWML!
NATIONAL BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY is next Sunday, Sept. 18th. Though not an official church holiday, picking a specific date to invite somebody back to worship is a good idea. Numerous surveys show that the most effective way to get delinquent members and non-churched friends to go to church is to have someone close to them personally invite them. Of all the evangelism programs that have come and gone … that have been effective or less so … the one that continually proves itself to work is the gentle reminder given as a personal invitation. You don’t need a lot of training; you don’t need to know a lot of Bible verses; you don’t have to knock on the door of a total stranger. Just reach out to someone you know who doesn’t worship Jesus and ask them to come to church with you. That’s all there is to it. Even though we all know every Sunday ought to be back-to-church Sunday, please make a special effort this week to approach a friend or relative – while there is still time.
BAZZAR COMMITTEE has started making plans for the November 3rd event which will run from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Food donations are needed for chili soup, vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken sandwich meat, tavern, salads, pies, cake, pickles, crackers & coffee.

Just reach out to someone you know who doesn’t worship Jesus and ask them to come to church with you. That’s all there is to it. Even though we all know every Sunday ought to be back-to-church Sunday, please make a special effort this week to approach a friend or relative – while there is still time.
BAZZAR COMMITTEE has started making plans for the November 3rd event which will run from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Food donations are needed for chili soup, vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken sandwich meat, tavern, salads, pies, cake, pickles, crackers & coffee.

EAST AFRICA DROUGHT RELIEF – The worst drought in 60 years is devastating East Africa. According to UN reports, the scarce rainfall has created severe drought and widespread food shortages affecting more than 11 million people principally in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.

To date, LCMS World Relief has given $150,000 in grants for food in the hardest hit areas. Please help, if you can, with a donation now or in the weeks and months ahead. Your donation may be put into the offering plate with a notation for “African Drought Relief” or you may mail your donation directly to: LCMS World Care (African Drought Relief), P. O.

CONFIRMATION PICTURE PROJECT – We are making excellent progress on collecting pictures of our church’s confirmation classes. Of the 78 possible years, we now have 68 class pictures – only 10 years to go and for at least 5 of those years there is a very good chance that they can be located. The 10 missing years are 1932, 1935, 1936, 1941, 1942, 1952, 1967, 1988, 1989 and 1995. If you can help locate any of these class pictures, we will be most grateful. Thanks!
DID YOU KNOW that The Lutheran Service Book, our current hymnal, has turned out to be a tremendous success? About one year ago, CPH reported that the 1 millionth copy of the LSB had been sold; today, well over 1 million copies are in use around the world – and not just by LCMS congregations, either. Our hymnal is being used by other Lutheran church bodies as well as by some non-denominational churches. The Lutheran Hymnal, our former hymnal, was used by about 60% of LCMS congregations. The LSB is currently being used by about 85% of LCMS congregations.
The LSB contains, not only most of the popular hymns from prior hymnals, but is also a great resource for your personal spiritual use. It contains most of the Psalms, daily prayers, a Bible reading schedule, the 3 Creeds of the Christian Church, the Small Catechism, information on the church year and much more. And like any resource, the more you use it and explore its contents, the easier it will be to use and the more comfortable you will feel with it.
The Schwan Food Company headquartered in Marshall, MN provided the funding for the hymnal’s 6 years of development. Rev. Heinrich (Henry) Schwan, a German immigrant born in 1819 and who became a Lutheran pastor, was President of the LCMS from 1878 through

DID YOU KNOW that since the Civil War, LCMS pastors have served as military chaplains? Today, LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces supports a total of 214 chaplains. Among these chaplains, 71 are active duty LCMS chaplains and 88 are serving Reserve or National Guard units. Currently, 15 of these Reserve/Guard chaplains are mobilized and serving in the United States, Iraq and Afghanistan. LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces also supports 25 Veterans Administration chaplains, 26 Civil Air Patrol and four chaplains for the Federal Bureau of Prison ministry.
LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces initiated Operation Barnabas in 2007 in response to the growing needs of returning military personnel. While Operation Barnabas is a network of care to all of our nation’s military members and their families, special emphasis is given to our Reserve members and their families. Why is it called ‘Operation Barnabas?’ Barnabas was Paul’s companion who helped him on his missionary journeys; his name means “son of encouragement.” Operation Barnabas’s goal is to encourage our military and their families with the Gospel in action!

DID YOU KNOW that Martin Luther was one of the first Lutheran hymn writers? He knew that hymns were an important way to teach the Christian faith to the average person. So convinced was he that he wrote at least 36 hymns; we have 24 of them in our current hymnal. His hymns can be divided into 5 major categories. One of these is hymns that are based on the Psalms. As a monk, Luther prayed the entire psalter (all 150 Psalms) – not once per year or per month – but every week! He knew the Psalms forward and backward. He also knew that the Psalms were the hymns of ancient Israel. These were the hymns that Jesus Himself sang! What an obvious choice on which to model your hymn writing! Of Luther’s hymns, 7 are based on Psalms
