15th ANNUAL BIKE FOR LIFE will be on Saturday, September 8.  As in the past several years, St. Paul will host the luncheon rest stop for riders and support staff.  A signup sheet for volunteers needed to help set up on Friday evening, cook, serve and clean up on Saturday, and a list for items needed will be posted on the bulletin board.  Everyone is welcome to stop by and visit with our guests on Saturday.  Richard & Bobbie Salis will try to answer any questions you may have about the event.  Land line with answering machine is 605-925-7529.  As always, your support for our Lords Life Ministry is greatly appreciated.

MISSING LARGE-PRINT HYMNAL – For those who use the large-print hymnals, please return them to the usher stand or give them to an usher at the end of the worship service.  Whoever used the hymnals last week – and presumably accidentally took it home(!) – would you please return it to the church.  Thanks!

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!

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.

Installation of Teachers – Our Sunday School and Midweek School teachers will be installed during our Sept. 9th worship service so (hint!) all teachers should be in church that day!

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 September 2, 2012 - Kid’s Crossing depicts Jesus as the Life Line in Life, trust in Jesus.  The featured speaker is Rev. David Edge of Zion Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls. The sermon theme is “The Full Armor of God.” The Main Street Living may be seen each Sunday morning at 10:00 am on KDLT-NBC Sioux Falls or at 9:00 am on KEVN-FOX Rapid City.

THE LUTHERAN HOUR September 2 "A Labor of Love” Lutheran Hour Speaker: Rev. Gregory Seltz (Ephesians 6:10-13) 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
