Announcements August 27

The flowers today are dedicated to the glory of God and in support for our friend Gary as he recovers from back surgery, by Sam and Jan Samson.

 

We have a problem with foxes digging in the cemetery, so there will be cages set up to capture and relocate them for the next two weeks or so. Please do not touch the cages; we will be charged $150 per incident if anyone bothers a cage.

 

The Parish Call Committee is pleased to share that we have a Primary Candidate for the position of Parish Pastor. We will be meeting with the candidate in September, after she returns from vacation. After both Councils have met and approved the Candidate, we will have Meet and Greets at each congregation to give everyone an opportunity to meet the Candidate before we vote on a call.

 

Open dates for flower dedications for September are the 17th and 24th. Please sign up in the narthex or send us an email and we’ll get you on the calendar. Please email your dedications to the church.

 

Please join us for the WELCA Heartland Conference Fall meeting at Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church 816 Mt. Tabor Rd.
