We are looking for volunteers to help cashier for the Wednesday dinners at Peace-Full Nights.  Please contact Anne Weir (763-559-5364) if you feel you can assist with this task on a rotating schedule.

Many thanks to Troy Reding for continuing to plan our Wednesday night dinners and to Pam Jette, who has stepped up to be the contact person for the dinner teams.

Today is the last opportunity to sign up for Wednesday night's Lutheran Night at the Twins.  Game night is August 26.  There are only 13 bargain tickets remaining.  See Don Peterson after the worship service.  We have chartered a bus to the Metrodome:  come along and join the fun!

Attend the Plymouth Playhouse with the OWLS to see "Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping" the evening of September 10, 2009. Tickets are $25. each, and will be sold after services today, by Gail Anderson and Marilyn Teske.  If we have over 30 people attending, the price will be reduced to $24 each. Come and join your fellow Older, Wiser, Lutheran Senior friends.

Senior High Lock-In and Event Planning  All High school students grades 9-12 are invited to the lock-in this week on Friday, August 28. Fellowship and food are on the schedule, as well as making plans for what we're going to do this year. Join us at 6:30 p.m.

New Members will be received next Sunday. Please join us for a reception following worship.

Youth and Family Committee plan a year's worth of fun!  Please make plans to meet together on Sunday, August 30, at 10 o'clock a.m.  Bring your ideas to share with the group. 

Altar Flowers are given in celebration of their 34th wedding anniversary by Steve and Judy Wold.

Lost and Found! Did you ever participate in the Fall Bob's Sleep Out?  And did you bring a tent to sleep in that night?  Because, someone's tent poles were FOUND when the Sater's recently went camping.  Now think back a couple of years (!) or check your tenting bag for missing tent poles!  Contact Joe or Jackie at 478-9442.

A note of precaution:

Since the H1N1 pandemic has been officially declared, we are taking a few precautions at worship.  At Holy Communion, servers are taking care to clean their hands with sanitizer.  But if you have added concerns, it is permissible to receive the wine only (served in individual glasses). 

For awhile we have set aside the 'Sharing of the Peace' during the liturgy.  And, the Pastors will not be offended if you do not shake their hand after worship.  A kind nod and greeting is quite acceptable.  We pray that this pandemic will not be severe and will pass quickly.
