MAIN STREET LIVING –November 5: Today’s
message is presented by Rev. Dr. Chris Asher of Resurrection Lutheran Church in
Sioux Falls. Titled “The Saint” the sermon is based on Rev. 7:15-17.The program is interpreted and closed captioned
for the hearing impaired.
FLOWERS - The flowers on the altar are from the
Ruth Zanter funeral. We thank the family for the flowers.
VOTERS MEETING – Our quarterly voters meeting
will be held this morning in the Fellowship Hall right after the worship
service. Please plan to attend.
SEE BULLETIN BOARD for information concerning the annual
bazaar of our sister congregation at First Lutheran Church Sioux City on
November 4th from 9-3pm. The theme is "The Gift of Christmas".
GREETING CARD FUNDRAISER: The
Youth Group will be taking orders for boxed greeting cards including Christmas
ones at the end of the month. Most are in boxes of 12
cards/envelopes and range $6-$8 per box. A few samples and order forms will be
available after services on October 22nd - Nov 5th and will be available for
pick up later in November.
WANTED – Two more groups who would be willing
to take turns serving during our Sunday morning Coffee Hours. This would eliminate having any open spots
and would keep those who serve from having to serve as often as they do.

BAZAAR on Nov.
2nd from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Bob and

OUR ANNUAL BAZAAR will be

have a Stitchery/Craft/ Country Store Booth and the Lunch
Counter. We have posted the food list and work schedule on the bulletin
board in the fellowship hall and the refrigerator in the kitchen if you want to
check what you have volunteered to prepare. If you have any questions regarding
the work schedule please contact one of the committee members. We plan to have
the kitchen door unlocked by 7:15 a.m.
Also please put a checkmark by your name on the food list when you bring
your donations. If you have prepared your food earlier and then froze it,
please make sure it is unthawed when you bring it. A sincere Thank You to
everyone that has volunteered to bring food and also all the workers. See
you Thursday Nov. 2nd for a day of good food and fellowship.
NOTE FROM PASTOR: At the risk of some saying that I am always talking about money, I am
going to ask; Do you tithe? Some churches use tithing as a law, that you
must give 10% of your income as a tithe and then use the Old Testament mandate
of the tithe to the Israelites as proof. Lutherans however, free in the Gospel,
do not mandate a tithe, but instead look to 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each
one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. So we use tithing as a
goal to personally strive towards...guilt free. Anyways, the reason why I
bring it up is the bulletin insert concerning the California wildfires and
other requests that may be in the bulletin from time to time, is that I do not
put these in the bulletin to guilt you into giving or promote one charity over
another. Rather, I include what I can to inform you of things going on
around the world in our Synod so that, if you are looking for a way to increase
your giving outside of your local congregation, AND if you are so moved, you
have the information available to you. Until the Lord returns, there will
always be need, so may God give you peace in how much you decide to return to
Him and to whom. - Pastor Makelin
