PICTORIAL DIRECTORYIf you were not able to make it in to have your photo taken for the directory, photos can be submitted for inclusion in the upcoming directory. Please speak to Terry Barber about these submissions.
TRUNK OR TREAT
Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 26 (3:00 - 5:00 PM).
We will have a planning meeting after church, Sunday, October 19, to make sure we are getting organized for this event which has proven to be quite popular with our community. Look for a Sign Up Genius form to indicate where we will still need help.
For any who are helping out on October 26, we will be having a lunch after the service. This allows us to be on site and ready for guests who seem to start coming already at 2:30 PM. Menu items will be determined soon. Bring whatever clothes or costumes you will need and change at church after lunch. Do you need a Good Shepherd T-shirt if you are not wearing a costume? Let us know. Several sizes are still available.
FOOD DRIVE FOR MARRIED STUDENTS AT WISCONSIN LUTHERAN SEMINARY
From now until Sunday, November 2, we will be taking a collection of food and sanitary items from the married students at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. Our gifts help to alleviate the expenses of our future pastors, allowing them to potentially enter the ministry debt free. Items which are need most are posted at the bulletin boards in the fellowship hall above the boxes where the collection is being taken. Gifts of money are also welcome. Checks can be made out to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary.
CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (September)
> 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.
> We are hoping to get handicapped accessible entry via push-button installed in the coming weeks. Currently, the parts are back-ordered. So, we will wait.
> We plan on added to our Servant Keeper office management system to allow for texting to large groups, similar to the email blasts, but with texting. When it is ready to go, we will do a test run after church some Sunday.
> We are hiring a professional janitorial service soon.
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).
