CHECK OUT THE NEW GIVING LINK for online offerings. See Joyful Response Give Now in the links section on the bottom right hand side of our website. St. Paul Lutheran has been set up to accept bank transfers as a new option to writing checks or cash for offering donations.  Click the link or contact one of the Finance Officers:  Penny Saarie 351-7848., Vicky Huber, Joni Knittel, or Treasure Sharon Pfeiffer.

FUNERALS:  If a death occurs, call me and arrange with the funeral home to have a grave-side committal within 24-48 hours. I will be there. We can remain socially distant in groups of ten or less outside. When this all straightens out, we can have a visitation (with a picture), a memorial funeral service, followed by the fellowship meal at a later date. Not ideal, but I think the best solution.

ALSO PLEASE HELP OTHERS who do not have email or electronic communications, or not getting calling post to get them set up soon, as we do not know what the future holds.

Updates, announcements, and revised schedules will be posted on our website (http://stpaulfreemanlcms.blogspot.com)  Videos on Facebook (St. Paul Lutheran Freeman), and YouTube (St. Paul Lutheran LCMS Freeman SD) To sign up for events: (https://signupschedule.com/stpaulfreeman)

CONGREGATION GATHERING this week does NOT require signing up, just come. We will continue precautions, warnings, social distancing, and sanitary practices, Attendees will be ushered to their seat (though we trust you know how). Please look for updates each week for if there is a local outbreak and we have to close it down some in the future. Entrance is gained by the double glass doors on the East side of the church.

The pastor reminds you that you may call for him to deliver shut-in communion to you if you desire it. Please call him on his cell (402) 336-7819 to discuss how to do precautions needed for your specific circumstances. It can be done outside, through a window, or door, etc.
