IN
OUR DAILY PRAYERS
this week please include Chris Schenkel as he recovers from his surgery,
Arlene Stern as she continues with her staph infection treatments, Kahlen Salis
as she begins her chemotherapy and radiation treatments, our many other members
undergoing cancer treatments, our shut-in and inactive members, and at least
two people in your life who do not yet know Christ.
BONE MARROW DONOR REGISTRY
– Please take a few minutes to read the flyer on the bulletin board about
becoming a bone marrow donor or a supporter of the program. The need for a bone marrow transplant
impacted one family in Freeman a few months ago and is now affecting another
family. Being a bone marrow donor – or just
providing financial support – is a very rewarding and a very needed way to help
our community’s children.
KAHLEN SALIS UPDATE
– Kahlen, age 3, has begun testing procedures in preparation for chemotherapy
and radiation treatments that will precede a bone marrow transplant later this
month at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Your prayers, calls and kind expressions of
hope have been deeply appreciated. (s)

LARGE-PRINT HYMNALS
– Our church’s Thrivent committee has decided to use some of our Thrivent
Choice funds to purchase 10 large-print hymnals for those of us who need some
assistance because of eyesight difficulties.
These hymnals (in a 3-ring binder format) include the various Orders of
Worship that we use as well as the words for all of the hymns. The music for the hymns is not provided. If you or someone you know would prefer to
use a large-print hymnal, please ask any usher for assistance. And THANK YOU, Thrivent
Committee, for your generosity!
QUARTERLY VOTERS’ MEETING NOTICE

DID YOU KNOW that on October 25, 1959, a special voters meeting in our church
decided to build a new church rather than remodel the old one? In early 1960 the building committee was
chosen. In January of 1961 a full square
block of land was acquired and in January of 1962 the voters gave their final
“go ahead” to the construction at a cost of $125,000. Actual construction began in the Spring of
1962 – 50 years ago
already! In August, 1962 a severe thunderstorm
damaged part of the newly constructed walls and on December 2, 1962 another
storm toppled the bell tower.
Construction was finished in the Spring of 1963 with the church
dedication taking place on Mother’s Day, May 12, 1963.
