CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (August)
> We have arranged a presentation by a WELS member who authored a book (“Whatever Is True” https://online.nph.net/whatever-is-true.html) about dealing with anxiety in a Christian context. He will talk about his own struggles and how he has coped with his challenges with the word of God and prayer. Mental health has become an increasingly common issue. The presentation will be Sunday, November 5 at 6:30 PM, and will be presented virtually. We welcome anyone from the community to join us for this presentation. Let your friends know.
> We need to replace the trees which were removed from our property. Bob Wozniak has done the research to determine which trees and shrubs can be planted. There are a few ways you can help make this replanting more cost-effective. You can sponsor a tree (or trees). Cost and sign-up will be made available in the coming weeks. OR You can be here to assist in the planting around the church grounds. Look for a work bee date later this summer. Your support is appreciated.
THIS SUNDAY (September 17) after church, we will resume our Long-Range Planning meetings. We are working to establish a vision for what we want our congregation to look like in three years, five years, and/or ten years. Once we have a goal in mind, we can take the steps necessary to get there. The steps will be delegated to the committees we have. All are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of the Long-Range Planning meeting and the committees that will follow up to see that our plans are put to work. Planning great things only goes so far. We need our members committed to doing them and praying that God will bless them. If you have question about the Long-Range Planning committee, please speak to Pastor Schroeder.
DID YOU KNOW????
People who have vision challenges can listen to Meditations, Forward in Christ, many volumes of The People’s Bible, Deutschlander’s Theology of the Cross and much more? These and many other resources can be found at: https://listen.wels.net/ . Share this with any who have vision issues.
