IN YOUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please remember Myron Schaffer as he continues to recover in the Sioux Falls VA Hospital, Ruth Zanter and June Heckenlaible who are recovering at home, Paul Wynia and his family as they mourn the loss of his father who went to live with his Lord for all eternity, our shut-in and inactive members, and your friends and relatives who do not yet know Christ.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN will again be performing the Christmas Eve service.  We ask that you e-mail Amber at ambersayler@hotmail.com or call her at 925-7132 to let her know if your child/children will be participating.  We would like to know no later than the end of October so parts can be divided out accordingly and a practice schedule can be set up.  Thank you! -- Bd of Education

DID YOU KNOW that 18,000 children die every day in the world?  To help combat this reality Faith Lutheran Church (601 N Cliff, Sioux Falls) has signed up to pack over 100,000 meals for the charity “Feed My Starving Children” on October 12th and 13th.  These vitamin-enriched meals will be sent to over 70 countries.  Positions are still open for anyone who would like to help pack the meals.  All you have to do is show up and one of the staff members will show you what to do.  If, instead, you would like to make a financial donation, please send a check made payable to “Feed My Starving Children” to Faith Lutheran Church.  Thank you for your humanitarian help!
