Current projects may be tracked from the ELCA website www.elca.org follow the link to disaster response under our-faith-in-action. Recent projects have been the tornadoes and flooding in the mid-West and the Gulf oil spill.
If you were confirmed between the years 1965 - 1969, the Third Sunday fellowship hour on September 19 is especially for you!
Acolytes and Crucifers: Please check the schedule, and if you cannot be in church, please find a substitute. Call the church office by Tuesday of the previous week, so we may have the correct names in the bulletin.
