Be aware that west-bound traffic on 9 Mile Road is closed between Haggerty and Meadowbrook. There is no known date for the end of this project. Paving on 9 Mile Road continues, but it looks like they are getting closer to completion.
CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (August)

Octoberfest, a celebration of the Lutheran Reformation – Sunday, September 28 at 5:00 PM.

We welcome members to join us and to help plan these various events. Even if you take charge of one event, that will benefit us all.
> We are still looking for more estimates to replace the windows in the chapel. With the seasons changing, so will the placement of the sun during our Divine Services. Soon, it will not be blinding on the north side of the church which gives us more time to get the window replacement we want instead of a hurried solution.
> Our projector has not been consistent in projecting. Since it is better than ten years old, we are considering a replacement. We are looking into getting a smart TV with interactive capabilities which allows HDMI input as well as ability to draw with a special, electronic pen. This will allow for the pastor to continue to draw his map of Israel for Bible Class. IYKYK. (If you don’t know, come to Bible Class!)

Security cameras are being
installed around the exterior of the church.
Thanks to Mark Casmer and Jake Vega-Miranda for getting these set up.

The pastor will be a little looser in observing formal office hours in the summer (usually, Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – Noon). During the summer months, it is more enjoyable to read outside than in the office, weather permitting. Call or text to confirm any meetings with the pastor (248-719-5218).
