CHURCH BASEMENT CLEANING ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 AT 9:00 A.M. We’re hoping to clean out the church basement as well as the ushers’ room and any junk in the back of church. If you can help, that would be great. We could use a pickup truck or two to haul stuff from church to the dumpster. If you have any items in the basement, ushers’ room or back of the church that you don’t want tossed out, please remove them before the 17th. Thank you!

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PARENTS AND CHILDREN thank Pastor Goldschmidt for leading our devotion last Sunday and for telling us about some of the pictures and stained-glass windows. (It’s amazing what you can see when you look at them real close!) Today’s lessons: Mrs. Galian: The wisdom of Solomon (I Kings Chapter 3). Mr. Huth/Mrs. Klabunde: Samson is blinded and imprisoned (Judges 16:4-30). The Teen Bible Class begins October 11 at 9:15 a.m. in Mr. Meyer’s room. Seven people have signed up so far. Katie and Cam Ausen are the group leaders. Hope you’ll join us.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO HELP WITH SUNDAY MORNING COFFEE! We need your help if we’re going to continue serving coffee on Sunday mornings. Two options are available: set up before the early service or clean up after the late service. If you’re an early riser, you can help brew coffee at 7:15 a.m. so that we have coffee ready for those who come to our first service. Clean-up after the second service takes about twenty minutes. Please sign up at the kiosk in the Welcome Center for the dates that work for you. For more information, please contact Sandy Bartsch at 414.545.8651.
