DOLLARS FOR MISSIONS The LWML thanks Pat S., a former GSLC member, who embroidered a queen size quilt and donated it to us to raise money for our mission work. Thanks to Karen M. who also helped with it and had it hand quilted. The quilt is on display downstairs in the fellowship hall. Your name along with a dollar donation will give you one (ten with a $5.00 donation) possibility of owning this beautiful quilt.

IDENTITY THEFT WORKSHOP The Thrivent Financial chapter will be hosting an Identity Theft Workshop at 6:30 p.m. on October 16 at Faith Lutheran Church, Carthage. There is no charge for the workshop and a door prize will be given away. You are invited to attend.

CD’S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes and CD’s of the service are available after the service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after the service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
