Pastor’s Notes
Betty reported that the Evangelism committee has had a very busy summer so far with several more things to go. Pastor & Betty are going to Houghton College for a "Fair Day" and two fundraisers are coming up as well. Some improvements on the TELCO have been made with some other ideas forthcoming. It was also discussed that we wanted to let people know that if they wanted to just donate coffee or juice for the coffee hours instead of making anything they could do that as well. Dick Kling reported that things are right on schedule with putting up the lights in the pavilion and work on replacing some of the sidewalk will be done very soon. The complete minutes and all committee reports are available in the Church office.

Cards were signed for shut-ins and secretary’s and treasurer’s reports were given. A discussion followed about whether we should have meetings every month. June Helmer made a motion that our next meeting be a Christmas party on December 6th at 12:00 noon. it was seconded by Eleanor Cott. There will be no meetings in October or November. We closed with the Lord’s Prayer.

After a trip to Basswood Hill last Sunday June reported on the interesting talk by Ronald Fox on the “Open Door Missions” in Rochester. we decided to send a monetary donation to help out the mission. Reminders were given for the two upcoming fundraisers. The day care playground benefit will be on the 20th. the Band of Brothers will provide “Music in the Pavilion”. Help is needed to cook, etc. Cheryl Young’s chicken bbq benefit will be held on September 29th with takeouts from noon - 4. Notices for help will be sent out to enlist more help for the cabbage cutting & sauerkraut serving. Please encourage all your friends to help. Dorcas Our quilt top maker Shirley Neu gave us four quilt tops- multi-colored- riot of colors. Thank you Shirley! Nursing Homes were given five lap robes, two walker bags, and two pillows for wheelchairs. Ladies tied a very pretty large quilt. Dorcas will be placing flowers in church on October 7th honoring the memory of past members, and will also be hosting the coffee hour that day. Betty gave a poem "Mr. No-body". Eleanor read an article on Devotions, Death and Dying. October meetings will be the 8th & 22nd. Dorcas donated a beautiful blue and white quilt to be raffled to benefit Cheryl Young. Miscellaneous Thrivent has decided to financially assist Peggy Stanford, (daughter of Carl & Arlene Leave) for medical bills and other expenses incurred as a result of unexpected complications from recent back surgery and loss of income from not being able to work. There is a jar in the lounge for donations. Thank you. Anyone interested in subscribing to Lutheran Witness at a cost of $8.75/yr. should contact Marge Vossler or the church office as soon as you can. Any additions must be made with the church order. Thank you. Flowers, Flowers, Flowers! New Flower Fund - Would you
like to remember loved ones or celebrate birthdays or anniversaries by putting flowers on
the altar? Our church has arranged to have a beautiful bouquet of flowers placed on the
altar every weekend. Simply sign up on the flower chart located in the hallway by the
library and let the secretary know why you have selected that particular weekend and that
information will go into the bulletin, then make a donation to the flower fund. Suggested
amount is $15.00. If you would like to have a bouquet placed on both sides of the altar,
the cost would be $25.00. In order to provide flowers at this rate, we will be using the
same vases each time, therefore, you may take the flowers but the vase must remain here at
church. If you have any questions, please talk with Betty Wood. |
