10-09-2011 Announcements

IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we pray for all who are sick or in physical or spiritual distress, all who are caregivers ministering to those in need, all who are celebrating birthdays, anniversaries or anniversaries of their Baptism and for all whose prayers have been answered. We ask that you would continue to pray for our shut-in and nursing home members, our inactive members as well as at least two people in your lives who don’t know Christ.

THE BAZAAR COMMITTEE would like to thank everyone that has volunteered to bring food and work at the November 3rd event. If we missed calling you and you are willing to bring food or work, please talk to anyone on the committee; we would appreciate your help that day and also any donation that you are willing to bring. We plan to have the food list and the work schedule posted in the next couple of weeks. Please contact anyone on the Bazaar committee if you have any questions. The committee is: Garnet Stern (925-7298), Mildred Siekmann (925-7050) and Sharon Pfeiffer (925-7604). Thanks.

DONATE YOUR OLD EYEGLASSES to those in need! Please gather all of your old eyeglasses that are taking up space in your various cabinets and drawers, and bring them to church. We will send them to Orphan Grain Train where they, in turn, will send them on to those in need at eyeglass clinics in poor countries. For the next 2 weeks look for the donation box in the Fellowship Hall. For more info please contact Pastor.


LWML will meet on Thursday Oct. 13th at 7:00 p.m. for a regular business meeting. We will discuss the Fall Rally which will be held here on Oct. 22nd. More information is posted on the bulletin board.

THE LUTHERAN HOUR – Oct. 16, 2011 – Rev. Ken Klaus’ sermon theme, based on Matthew 21:32, will be “A Sermon for Skeptics.” The world has several major religions and countless minor ones.

The Lutheran Hour is broadcast every Sunday morning at 8:30 on 105.9 FM (KMIT) and at 9:30 on 570 AM (WNAX).

MAIN STREET LIVING – Oct. 16, 2011 – Kid’s Crossing looks at standing firm in the faith as Danny learns about Jesus from his Grandmother. The featured speaker is Rev. Kyle Schwan from Trinity Lutheran Church in Hartford. The sermon theme is “We Give Thee But Thine Own.” Main Street Living may be seen each Sunday morning at 10:00 on KDLT-NBC Sioux Falls.
