Announcements for August 25, 2019

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the brunch and program celebrating Pastor Joel’s 10 years with the congregation and wishing him and his family well in his next call at Redeemer Lutheran in Bettendorf. We appreciate the generosity of your donations and the giving of your time and talents preparing, speaking, composing, singing, playing, creating, cooking, baking, serving, and cleaning up. What a blessing this congregation is! Ann Bartelt and Brenda Hollingsworth

Stewardship Committee Meeting |  Sunday All are welcome!

Brad Wheeler, chairman of the Stewardship Committee would like to invite everyone to a meeting Sunday, August 25th at 10:30.  He has assembled a small group of members, but would welcome any additional members who want to join them.  The more people on the committee, the more fun and creative ideas we can come up with for the Stewardship Committee.  Hope to see lots of you there!!

SIGN UP for Sunday School & GOD SQUAD

SIGN UP HERE for Sunday School & God Squad.  Sunday School will begin on September 15th, with GOD SQUAD with Children’s Choir beginning at 5:40pm on September 25th.  Help us prepare by registering your student today!

Volunteer at GOD SQUAD

Please sign up to help on Wednesday evenings during God Squad.   We need help in the kitchen to cook, serve & clean up afterwards AND general help during class and children’s choir.   In an effort to keep costs down we are asking that the meals be donated as well as the time to cook & serve them.  Please consider signing up TODAY.  If everyone just helped one evening we would have more than enough help!   Thank you for your consideration.
