LUTHERAN
WOMEN'S
MISSIONARY
LEAGUE
(LWML)
MITE BOX
COLLECTION
You may have
seen members of
our congregation's LWML (WIM) collecting "mites" after
church services on the first Sunday of every month. But
do you know where that money goes? Based on the
Biblical account of the widow's mite (Luke 21:1-4), the
mite box is intended for regular contributions of "mites" offerings above and beyond the support given to
congregations and the LCMS. Mite box contributions
amount to millions of dollars that fund district and
national mission grants and implement the LWML
program.
Additionally, there are small "mite boxes" on the kiosk in
the Welcome Center. Please consider taking a box to fill
up with the loose change around your house. Thanks!!

NEEDED FOR MLC
SUNDAY SCHOOL

VISION FOR KENYA

October is just days away; it only
seems far off. There are plans,
training, and advance work in
Kenya and locally. The work:
apart from traveling and working
with some special volunteers in
Kenya, we have inventory and packing the supplies to
replace here. After the mission
trip,
there
is
inventory,
unpacking,
and
ordering
replacement supplies. We need
transportation to and from the
airport for several boxes
(maybe even a person or two).
Much to do, and many ways to
help! As always, Pastor Dale is
eager to speak with you.

We have an opportunity
for you - to help Sunday
School by teaching 4th
graders! If you would like
to help, please
call April Ramsey.

bags in a basket in the Welcome Center. We invite you to

EXCITING SUMMER BIBLE STUDY CONTINUES

Join Pastor Mike this summer for an in-depth study of The
Revelation to John. Many Christians are intimidated or
scared by the book of Revelation, but it is a beautiful
book, full of encouragement and hope for God's
persecuted and oppressed people. We will read through
the book, discuss its background, imagery, purpose, and
do some comparisons of the different views of the end
times. Join us in the Loomis Center during the Bible
Study hour (9:30-10:30 am) this summer and be
encouraged by God's promises
in Jesus Christ.
CHRIST CLINIC
ITEM OF THE MONTH
kitchen-sized trash bags
Your donations, always
greatly appreciated, may be
placed in the box by the Welcome Center elevator.
Thanks!
