09-11-2011 ANNOUNCEMENTS
IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please keep Marge Wollman and Doris Albrecht in your prayers during their home recovery as well as Herbert Huber, our shut-in members, our inactive members and for at least two people in your life who don’t know Christ.
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!
CHOIR PRACTICE CHANGE – Choir practice will continue to be held on Wednesdays at 8:00 pm thru the end of September. Beginning on Oct. 2nd choir practice will be held each Sunday at 11:30.
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. Keep your calendar handy so that you don’t miss out on these and other important dates!
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.

SD RIGHT TO LIFE CONVENTION – At 9:30 on September 17th in the Lakota Events Hall in Tea, the South Dakota Right to Life Convention will begin.
