4. Call Returned: Pastor Tiefel, who was called to serve as our next Pastor, has returned the call. The next call meeting for a pastor will be Wednesday, November 5th, at 6:30 pm.

5. This week’s Midweek Bible Classes are cancelled because of the special BALM Reformation Worship Service at 6:30 pm @ Bethel Lutheran, 749 N. Pine Rd.

6. Something new! Our hymn boards have been converted into Bible passage boards! Our five students in Catechism class have chosen Bible verses from their study of God’s Word this past week. They also found NIV Bibles in storage and put two in each pew. So, before church starts, use the Bibles or a Bible program on your phone to read these Scripture passages under the theme “Confidence Builders.” Every week or two, a new set of 5 Bible passages will be displayed for our growth in God’s Word. Thank you, Rylinn, Emily, Aubree, Eve and Kinlee! And our thanks to one of our elders, Greg Leaman, for coming up with this great idea!

7. Mark your calendar! This year’s Harvest Festival/Potluck will be after church on Sunday, November 9th. A potluck luncheon will start after the 10:00 am Worship Service. Baked chicken is being provided by Home & School Connect. Non-school families attending are asked to bring a dessert, while school families will provide hot and cold side dishes. 5th– 8th graders will be providing entertainment. Come and enjoy some great fun and fellowship! Please let us know if you will be coming. Please sign up on the sheets outside the church office.
