IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please remember Kermit Schrag who was hospitalized for a couple of days this last week for pneumonia and other breathing problems, and 2-year-old Brogen Broders who had heart surgery 2 days ago. As always, please also pray for all who are sick, our shut-in and inactive members, and at least two people in your life who do not yet know Christ.
ADDRESS UPDATES – Several people have inquired about Kahlen Salis’ and Brogen Broders’ hospital addresses so that they can send Get Well cards. Kahlen’s address is: Univ. of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, Room C-4138, 2450 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. Brogen’s address is: C. S. Motts Children’s Hospital, 1500 East Medical Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48109. His heart surgery last Friday went very well. Our prayers and cards will be very much appreciated by them both.
YOUTH GROUP LEADER – We are looking for one or more adults to lead our Senior High Youth Group beginning this Fall. If you are interested, please contact the Pastor.
ALTAR GUILD – We are looking for someone to take over the candle and vestment maintenance duties. If you are interested, please contact the Pastor.
PASTOR WILL BE ON VACATION Monday thru Friday of this week. Rev. Bob Moeller will be on call for pastoral emergencies. You may reach him at (605) 321-1641 [cell phone]. You may also contact any of our elders for assistance.
RALLY DAY PICNIC – The congregation is invited to a potluck to celebrate the opening of Sunday School on Sept. 9th after church. Hot dogs, brats and drinks will be provided. Please bring a salad, side dish or dessert. Sunday School classes begin on Sept. 16th. Please join us!
WE ARE LOOKING for SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS. Please let Amber, Cheri or Kari know if you are interested. Please prayerfully consider volunteering for these important positions!
MAIN STREET LIVING – August 26 – Kid’s Crossing will use drama to tell of the feeding of the 5,000. The speaker will be Rev. Greg Lehr from Zion Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls. His sermon theme will be “A Profound Mystery.” Main Street Living may be seen each Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. on KDLT-NBC Sioux Falls or at 9:00 a.m. on KEVN-FOX Rapid City.
THE LUTHERAN HOUR – August 26 – “Will Jesus Find Faith?” Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus’ sermon will explain how God’s laws point sinners to their Savior. Men’s laws sometimes keep people away. The Lutheran Hour is broadcast on Sunday mornings at 8:30 on 105.9 FM and at 9:30 on 570 AM.
SAMARITANS PURSE “Shoe Box program” – For those who noticed the gray tub in the Fellowship Hall and are curious about its purpose, the following will shed some light on the subject. The Board of Ed is very proud of the response we received from the local children to help provide items for underprivileged children around the world. Samaritans Purse is a Christian organization that helps people in need. They are helping dig wells and provide mosquito nets in Africa, helping Veterans injured while protecting our country as well as delivering packages to children who are in need. The Board of Ed thought the children would like to be involved by providing items for needy children, such as hygiene items, school supplies, personal items (such as socks, t-shirts and underwear) or even toys and hard candy. These are things that some children are rarely able to enjoy … essentially anything that will fit in a shoe box. If any of the congregation would also enjoy donating, there is additional information on the bulletin board. We plan on collecting items through August. Thank you for your generosity. (s) The Board of Ed
