January 26 Weekly News


FEBRUARY CALENDAR AND NEWS will be available from the ushers after today's worship.

 

THIS WEEK we will celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week.  Our students will enjoy special treats and dress-up days and will attend chapel services and participate in special activities at Immanuel (Kindergarten-3rd grade) and Trinity (4th-8th grades) on Friday.  Students have drawn pictures which are included in today's bulletin to express their gratitude in being able to attend our Lutheran school and to thank the congregation for giving them this opportunity.

 

A TOTAL OF $36.52 was collected from last Sunday's Penny Collection for the Pregnancy Care Center.  Baby bottles are available in the narthex for those who would like to put in their spare change and donate to the PCC.  Please return these by next Sunday, February 2.

 

"DUE TO AN error on my part, donations to the Scholarship Fund for James Rockhill and Jacob Hercamp were not recorded as to the individual's donations.  If you need a receipt for tax purposes, please contact me as soon as possible." - Mark Buss

SUMMER CAMP:  It's time to start thinking about summer camp!  On February 1, Lakeview Ministries will begin registering campers (grades K-12) for its 2014 summer season.  Don't let your children miss the adventure, joy, and wonder that a week at a Christian camp can bring.  To get more information, pick up a summer brochure in the narthex, visit the camp's website at www.camplakeview.com, or call the camp office at 812-342-4815.  Registrations must be postmarked on or after February 1.  No phone reservations will be accepted until two weeks after registration opens, so the best way to register is to get the forms ready and mail them on February 1.  See you at camp!
