Join us on Wednesday morning for Bible Study at 10:00am. The informal study will explore the Book of Ecclesiastes. And yes, coffee and treats are a part of every Wednesday morning.
The prayer ministry group would welcome anyone who would like to join them on Tuesday mornings in the Christy Room at 9:15-10:00 a.m. Please contact Janna Haug, Deb Gilroy or Linda Nelson for more information.
Thank you to Lee Wilson for providing the beautiful wreaths on the front doors of the church and for the large Christmas containers at the side entrance on 21st St.
The bronze Advent wreath which graces our sanctuary was given as a memorial for John Engen 50 years ago by his family which includes his daughters, Ruth Lee and Ellie Holmquist, who are both still members of our congregation today. Incidentally, the water ewer used at baptisms was also a gift of the Engen family in memory of their mother Frances Engen. (18 children and grandchildren of the family were baptized at Lake of the Isles.
Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church has provided a meal for 40 the first Friday of every month for many years. This is a wonderful opportunity for families or a group of friends to work together!
Thanks to Kristi & Bob Brownson for serving on November 2.
Members scheduled for 2018…
December 7
TBD due to an emergency for Cheri Moe. Please contact the church office if you can help. Thrivent Dollars are available for cost of the meal.
Thrivent members are eligible to apply for a Thrivent Action Grant to cover the cost of the meal and purchase supplies for Our Saviour’s Shelter continuing needs. For those who are Thrivent members, but are not able to make the meal, please consider applying for this grant in advance (4-6 weeks lead time) for other volunteers’ use to serve.
If you have not served the meal, feel the cost is more than you can comfortably contribute, or would like to work with others, contact Cheri Moe or Linda Nelson. You will be connected with others for a shared, enjoyable experience.
It is not too late to turn in your pledge card and puzzle piece. The puzzle awaits your contribution!
Thank you for your amazing response to the winter coat/gear drive! 153 donations were brought to PPL a few weeks before Thanksgiving, in time for the cold weather. Thank you for helping take care of others in our community in need of help! The St. Martin’s Dinner raised an additional $450 for PPL.
Packages were mailed just after Thanksgiving to our college age members. The packages were filled with a variety of snacks and few silly things to help relieve stress leading up to finals. A letter from Pastor Haug, Diane LaMere plus cards from the Sunday School children were included in the packages with positive messages of encouragement. Thank you to the Sunday School families for their generous donations for the care packages.
The latest edition of the Spark Family magazine has arrived. Please feel free to take home an issue! They are available at both entrances to the Sanctuary. This is a great resource for families with toddlers up to 4thgrade to keep in the car, carry along with you as you run errands, or a great conversation starter during dinner. It is filled with quick and easy ways to fit faith into everyday life. Because it’s not dated you can choose to do the chapters sequentially or skip around.
Weekly rehearsals are Wednesdays, at 7:15
New singers are welcome!
As our beloved director tells us…
