A SignUpGenius form will be distributed via email to let people know
what salad, side dish, or dessert you will bring.
Octoberfest, a celebration of the Lutheran Reformation, will be on Sunday,

5:00 PM -- Vespers
5:30 PM – A bratwurst dinner
6:30 PM – Luther Lecture (Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony, protector of Luther)
In order to make sure we will have enough food on hand for this event, please RSVP to welsnovi@aol.com, indicating your name and how many will be coming to this event. If you would be so willing, please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to round out the meal.
Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 26 (3:00 - 5:00 PM).
6th Grade Bible History will begin on Wednesday, September 24 (5:00-6:00 PM).
Bible Information
Class will begin on Monday,
September 8 (7:00 - 8:30 PM). A schedule will be posted soon. You
are encouraged to invite friends to this class.
If you are interested, let the pastor know today so he knows if there
will be any attendees.
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. Construction crews are close to completing the final topping of asphalt. It is possible that 9 Mile will be open this Sunday, but please err on the side of caution.
CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (August)
> 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.
For the most part, the pastor will be observing formal office hours (Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – Noon). Occasionally, duties will take him away from the office during these scheduled times, so you will still want to call or text to confirm any meetings with the pastor (248-719-5218).
