Notes
Casas Registration Continues…We are now taking registrations for this fall’s Casas Mission Trip, November 20-23rd. We will be building two houses in Juarez, Mexico. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please come to the Information Meeting on THIS Sunday, October 24th at 11:45am or contact Rudy Deutschmann, Lynn Twietmeyer, or Pastor Mark. Yellow registration forms are in the narthex on the heater.
All Saints Names…As is our custom, the liturgy on All Saints' Sunday (November 7th) will include the Litany of Remembrance during which we will list the names of those who have joined the Church Triumphant. If you would like to have the name of your loved one included, please write the name on the back of the blue worship card. October 31 is the deadline for turning in names.
All Saints Faces… This year we want to surround ourselves with those who have joined the Church Triumphant and are the "cloud of witness" of Hebrews 12. So we invite you to bring to church a picture of your loved one as we make a display of the "cloud of witness" on the side walls of the sanctuary. A couple of things will be helpful as we create this display:
1. pictures only, no frames
2. for safety sake, you may want to bring in a copy of the original
3. write your name on the back of the picture
4. pictures may be brought in starting on Monday, November 1 and will remain up until after worship on November 21
5. each person will be responsible for adding and removing their own picture [tape will be available for you to place your loved one's picture on the display]
We invite and encourage you to be a part of this year's celebration of All Saints. Questions may be addressed to Karen Lamprecht, Melanie Nehls Burow, or Pastor Mark
