Sunday School Will Begin September 9th!
It’s almost time for Sunday School to resume,
and we are in need of several more volunteers
who are willing to be a teacher, a substitute
teacher, or a helper for music or in classrooms.
If you are interested in helping to make Sunday School a fun &
positive learning experience for the children, please contact
Sunday School Director Rhonda Hoefer ([email protected]
or 563-927-6242), or Christian Education Director Sara Hamm
([email protected] or 563-608-6946). A registration form
to get your children signed up can be found in this newsletter,
in the church narthex, or on our website.
Ladies Group will visit Sunset Ridge Winery on Sunday, August 12th
We will enjoy live music and time together. Anyone interested in piz-
za or drinks can order while we’re there. We will leave the church at
1:15 P.M. and carpool. Please sign up in the narthex on the clip-
board. Contact Vicki Freiburger at 920-8896 or Sheila Tibbott at 927-

This is the day the Lord has made!
Let us rejoice & be glad in it!
~ Thank You ~
I would like to thank everyone for all the
beautiful cards and gifts I received for my
90th birthday. Also, thanks to those who
helped me celebrate by attending the open
house on June 29th at the church - it was
a wonderful day. God bless you all.
With love,
Berniece Wendt
We LOVE having special music during summer services. If you are interested in sharing your vocal or instrumental talents, please call Kathy Moorhouse (927-5594)
at least two weeks in ad-vance so we can coordi-nate your musical selec-tion(s) within the service and provide piano accom-
paniment for you, if needed. (A special word of encouragement to our youth: we’d love to have you participate in worship in this way!)
Stewardship Update
The “Mission of the Month” for June was the NALC Disaster Response Fund, with $203.91 col-lected. Lutheran World Relief was the July MOTM (amount not yet known), & the First Lutheran Good Samaritan Fund will be the August mission.
Also, THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our “Relay for Life” team the best ever! Our FLC Team goal was $1000.00, and with the help of so many of you we raised $1802.00 for the American Cancer Society. Thank you, one and all!
