Help us get the gardens at church and school put to bed for the winter! We will be doing fall cleanup work from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Please bring garden gloves and hand pruners or clippers; rakes will be provided. Tasks include cleaning out garden beds, raking leaves, and storing garden equipment for the season. Teens, this is a great opportunity to earn mission trip hours! Meet in the church parking lot, and click here to contact Kurt & Kelly Kramer with any questions.

At our October 13 congregational meeting, our voters approved entering into a capital campaign for the following purposes:
• Increasing Early Learning Center (ELC) space for our growing program.
• Increasing educational space at school.
• Expanding parking space at church.
• Expanding and making improvements to the church narthex and office areas.
Please pray for God’s guidance and direction as this campaign unfolds in the weeks and months ahead, and watch for more information coming soon.

At this dual-purpose meeting, we’ll present our voters with a recommendation from the Church Council regarding a potential capital campaign and campus expansion. We’ll also be calling for two teachers to start in Fall 2023: an upper-grade math and technology teacher and an additional K3 teacher. Please plan to join us at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

WELS is launching a new initiative: to plant 100 new home mission churches and enhance 75 existing ministries from 2023-2033. Our church body is committed to this bold effort to share the love of Jesus in places where there may not be a WELS church yet. To contribute, please click here.

Beginning Sunday, October 9
This morning, we welcome Rev. Forrest Bivens, retired Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary professor, as he begins a five-week study of “Hey! Micah is Talking to Us!” What we observe today was also seen by Micah from Moresheth: expressions of idolatry, inequities between social classes, and invasions by foreign powers. Micah was called by God to address these issues in clear language. It is our privilege to listen to his voice and regard his testimony as nothing less than the words of God being applied to that situation—and our own. Click here for class materials and video.
