First Service Hymns: If you have a favorite hymn or two that you would like included in the 1st service worship, please write them on the Sermon Notes page and put it in the Worship and Music box in the church office. Better yet, join the Worship and Music committee at 6:30pm any 1st Tuesday of the month in the Sanctuary. We try to choose liturgical pertinent hymns and any help is appreciated.

Wednesday Evening Worship: Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:45 pm for worship and communion. Our Wednesday worship band is growing and sounds great.

Adult Sunday School explores the Augsburg Confession – beginning September 12, 2010: As a Lutheran congregation our governing documents state that we accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life; accept the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the faith of this church, and accept the Unaltered Augsburg Confession as a true witness to the Gospel. Each week in worship we read from the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and recite one of the creeds (seldom the lengthy Athanasian Creed). But how many of us have studied or read the Augsburg Confession? Do you know who wrote it? Do you know why and when it was written? And, most importantly, can you explain why it still remains a key confessional document for the Lutheran Church today? Come explore this key confessional document this fall during the adult Sunday School period. Discussion periods begin at 9:55 am on Sunday September 12th.

CLCW Needs Supplies for LWR: In preparation for the fall and spring shipments to Lutheran World Relief, CLCW erasers for school bags, washcloths and nail files for personal care kits, and cloth diapers for layettes.

SENIORS POTLUCK: The seniors meet at noon the 2nd Monday of each month for a potluck.
