† SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING Starting in September and going through the end of the year, Sunday School offerings, both the adult and the children’s, are being designated to Immanuel Lutheran’s Comfort Dog Team’s fund for medical expenses. Our previous goal for Children’s Haven was $1,000 and we achieved that goal. Lets see if we can exceed that amount this time! Thanks so much for your support of this project.
† LUTHERAN YOUTH FELLOWSHIP will have a planning meeting next Sunday evening at 6:00 pm in the youth room. Bring your ideas and calendars along to start scheduling some fun activities for this fall and winter.

† Jr. Confirmation instruction will start in September. Jr. Confirmands and their parents are asked to talk with Pastor Mackie today after the service. Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation will be provided to each new Confirmand, but each student will need to bring their own Bible to class.
† SUNDAY SCHOOL There will be a meeting on Sunday, October 2, after the late service to discuss the current Sunday School material and to start planning for this year’s Christmas Program. Anyone currently helping with Sunday School or interested in helping out is encouraged to attend.
† SHEPHERD’S OWN After a brief summer hiatus, The Shepherd’s Own will resume weekly rehearsals beginning this week on Wednesday. Rehearsals are held 6:30-7:30 pm. If you enjoy singing praises to the Lord in four-part harmony, and fellowship with a fun group of sinner-saints, now would be a good time to join the group – no audition required!

† LWML QUARTERLIES The new fall quarterlies are on the table by the nursery in the narthex.
