Welcome to August, the month of “dog

days” and for those for whom the kitch-

en is too hot, a time to get out, at least

for a while. August is also one of the

most challenging months for congrega-

tions to keep doing ministries with re-

duced numbers, from ushers to volun-

teers for the homeless ministries. Your

continued support on so many levels al-

lows us to keep on being the church for

the sake of the world God so loves. On behalf of the whole congregation, I

want to express the deep gratitude and appreciation for the way in which

you all have responded to the very significant challenge we’ve been facing:

The EM Water Retention Project. Your generous financial outpouring thus

far will allow us to pay for the third, 25% payment, and have some left for

the final payment as well. While we are still about $100,000 short of the

knowable goal, we have come a long way. THANK YOU! We are all looking

forward to when this will be in our past.

August 18-25, we will be hosting homeless families through Family

Promise. The team has been working very hard to be ready for our guests.

As forecasts hover around 110 for highs, I cannot imagine living on the

street. THANK YOU for caring, directly or indirectly through your support,

for these neighbors in need. We can’t just listen to the story of the good Sa-

maritan; we have to go be the neighbor to those in need. And as with all of

the Augusts that have come before, this one, too, will yield to September’s

changes. That’s the way of life: chapters/events come... and go.

May God watch over your going out and your coming in, from this

time forth and forever more (based upon Psalm 121).

Pastor Bill Rindy

The AJ school district does an amazing job of feeding hungry students every

weekday. However, the number of school children who have little or no food

to eat on the weekend is staggering. Our Saviors Lutheran Church has an

ongoing program to provide snack pack bags for these children to take home

prior to each weekend. School has already started, or will soon start in our

area.

The School Snack Program is ready to resume. The first packing date is

Thursday, August 22nd. Volunteers are needed to pack and deliver the

snack bags. Please contact Carol Herrmann at [email protected] if

you are able to help. We will need several people each week to assist in this

Our next session of Family Promise begins August 18th and

ends the morning of the 25th. Your support of this mission, in

the past, has been much appreciated.
