- People to lend us artificial Christmas trees. (It is ok to bring in trees with lights on them. However, please no other decorations.) You are asked to put your name on the bottom of the tree so we can return it to you after VBS.
- Monetary donations to help cover the expenses of the light supper, snacks, and juice that we serve to each child every night. You may place your donation in the can which is labeled on the table in the church lounge.
- Spread the word about our VBS to the children in your neighborhood. Invite them to attend.
- Last, but certainly not least, Pray for God’s Spirit to give us guidance, wisdom, and the words to teach the Gospel clearly. Also ask that His word will bear fruit.
Plans For This Year’S Hands And Harvest Craft Sale are underway. The date is Saturday, Oct. 5, 10am-3pm. Please spread the word to any handcrafters you may know. Tables are available for $15 each. Please contact Karalee at 593-9032 for more info. Once again, we ask everyone to bring in any items that need “re-gifting” which can be used for our Chinese Auction. Also, any medium to large-sized baskets would be welcomed. Items/baskets can be placed under the tables along the office wall in the lounge.
Reaching Rural America For Christ: Our congregation will be hosting a LCMS Rural & Small Town Mission Workshop on Saturday, September 28 from 8 to 3 here at our church. Many of our congregations are concerned about shrinking membership and fewer children and families in worship. There is no “one size fits all” solution. However through this event, congregational leaders will be encouraged as they see new opportunities for engaging their communities and filled with hope for the future. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. There is NO cost for members of our congregation to attend. Pre-registration is required. A signup sheet will be available in the lounge on the table.
Thank you to everyone who worked at the Allegany County Fair Booth. Sermon CD’s, Children’s Parables CD’s, pamphlets, VBS registrations, and other goodies were handed out. A special thank you to Nicole Wesche for designing and decorating the booth.
A special benefit for Compassion Clement Mission. Hope Lutheran Church at 1301 Vintage Lane, Rochester will be presenting an original musical theatre revue “ONCE UPON AN ADVENTURE” on Friday and Saturday August 16, and 17th at 7:00 pm. A free-will offering will benefit Sheba and the children. For more information go to www.sharethehope.org.
