SUMMER CHILDREN’S MISSION PROJECT – At VBS we began collecting items for Orphan Grain Train’s School Supply Kits. We will continue to collect supplies until the opening of Sunday School on September 11th. As you purchase supplies for your own child, we pray that you would also pick up an item or two for this project. If you would like to help out, more information is available in the brochures next to the collection bin. Thank you – The Board of Education

WEEKDAY SCHOOL TEACHER NEEDED – We are in need of a teacher for our 5th and 6th grade Weekday School class. If you are available on Wednesdays after school and are willing to teach, please talk to Lisa, Amber, Cheri or Pastor.
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
