09-30-2018 Announcements


WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE WITH US TODAY

IN YOUR PRAYERS - this week please remember those who are recovering from surgery and illness, those in cancer treatment programs, our shut-in and inactive members and at least 2 family members or friends in your life who do not know Christ as they could, that they would accept the invitation to come to Church with you to hear God's Word preached in its purity, and see the Sacraments rightly administered.

MAIN STREET LIVING – October 07,2018:  Rev. Scott Sailer, President of the South Dakota District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, delivers today’s message, “Small Words Are the Big Words.’  The message is based on Mark 10:2-16. 

LADIES AID and LWML will meet for Bible Study with Pastor Makelin on Oct. 4th at 7:00 pm.  Hostess for  the meeting is Joan Dreessen.  Visiting Helpers for October are Garnet Stern and Sharon Pfeiffer, Bob and Karen Pidde are on Altar Flowers.

NOTICE: Pastor will be at the Pastor's conference October 1-3, therefor there will be no Tuesday evening Christianity review Bible Study, or Men's Wednesday morning Bible study.. – Pastor

TALK TO THE TRUSTEES if you are interested in the old countertops or cabinet doors. Otherwise this material will be disposed of in October. If anyone has questions they should contact Chad Knittel H (605) 925-7350 or M (913) 558-2758.

BAZAAR UPDATE: Thanks to all of you that are willing to work for our November 1st Bazaar and also thanks to all of you that are willing to bring food. We are still short on chicken meat and pies; also if you would like to buy some crackers, coffee, or quarts of pickles please talk to one of the organizers. We will post the food & worker lists by the middle of October. Thanks for everything so far. Signed: Bazaar Committee: Kelli Broders, Penny Smidt, Sharon Pfeiffer.

A NOTE TO PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS FROM PASTOR: The bulletin inserts are originally designed as a progressive memorization schedule  with the first level, "Primary" being grades 1 & 2, "Level 1" being grades 3 & 4, "Junior" - 5, "Level II - 6, "Level III - 7, and "Level IV" - 8.  These levels are only a guide however, and your child can memorize up to whatever level they are able.  To use these bulletin inserts, during the week, just before bed, or as you get ready for school, or at meals...take 15 minutes together to use the devotion on the one side as a family devotion, then speak together, aloud, the other side.  Don't worry if you child cannot read, because even the littlest ones can parrot back what the you say. When said aloud repeatedly, your child will accidentally begin to memorize it and place God's Word into their hearts and minds! – Pastor

AN EXAMPLE OF USING THE BULLETIN INSERTS: After the family devotion, have everyone speak aloud together; The Fourth Commandment: Honor your father and your mother.    If your child has already got this memorized, move up a level and also say aloud; What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.... and so on.  Please contact me if I am not being clear, and may God's Word ring throughout your household! "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”Joshua 24:15b - Pastor
