Important Information

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! RALLY DAY & CHURCH PICNIC on Sunday, Sept. 21st

In September: Lector Cheryl Heiden. Communion Bread provided by Julie & Larry Riemenschneider. Ushers are Gary Hover and Shawn Barnette. Service Group Three serves treats.

THE AMERY AREA FOOD SHELF is again asking for help from First Lutheran friends. The need is increasing as funds are decreasing. Hearty soups and cereals would be appreciated. We'll be collecting donations for the next four Sundays (Sept 14, 21, 28, and Oct. 5.

OUR ANNUAL MEETING will be held on Sunday, October 12th, immediately following our worship service. Just a reminder to leaders of organizations: Your reports are due in the Church Office by September 29th.

AT OUR ANNUAL MEETING WE HOPE TO CALL PASTOR TOM HAHN AS A PART TIME PASTOR.

TOM DESIRES TO BE ON THE ELCA ROSTER SO THAT WHEN HE LEADS WORSHIP HERE AND AT OTHER CHURCHES IN THE AREA HE IS PERMITTED TO GIVE HOLY COMMUNION.

IF HE IS NOT CALLED TO A CHURCH, HE IS NOT PERMITTED TO SERVE COMMUNION.

WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM AS A PART OF OUR CHURCH AND WE ARE GLAD TO SHARE HIM WITH THE COMMUNITY. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US!
TOM AND GRETCHEN ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND WE HOPE THAT EVERYONE CAN GET TO KNOW THEM.

TIM AND TOM WORK WELL TOGETHER AND WE ARE BLESSED.

PLEASE COME TO THE ANNUAL MEETING AND BRING A DISH OR A DESSERT TO SHARE FOR OUR POTLUCK.

Happy Birthday Blessings!
