† NEW CHURCH DIRECTORY It is time for a new GSLC photo directory. Pictures for the new directory will be taken toward the end of October. There are sign-up sheets on the round table in the narthex, so you can schedule a time to have your picture taken. In addition, we will be in need of some help during the scheduled times to welcome people and make sure all of their directory information is correct. If you could help during any of these times, please use the volunteer sheet on the round table to sign up or contact the church office, 358-1325.

† VOTERS’ MEETING At the quarterly Voters’ Meeting this evening 7:00 pm, our congregation has the opportunity (though we are not required) to nominate individuals for various Missouri District positions. As noted in the Oct. Newsletter, at our next Voters’ Meeting we are required to nominate a lay person from our congregation to represent us at circuit and district gatherings. Keep that in mind as well. Of course, the normal business of approving a budget and electing officers for 2018 will also occur at this meeting.
† REFORMATION 500 In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, our circuit will be holding a special Reformation service on Sunday, October 29 at 7:00 pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lockwood. This service is open to all of the people in our circuit (and frankly, anyone at all who wants to come). Many of the pastors of our circuit will be involved in the service and there are plans to involve all of the different congregation’s choirs that wish to participate as well. This service will be a splendid opportunity for us to celebrate the Reformation with the fellow Lutheran in our circuit.
