Stewardship letters and pledge cards will be going out this week. Each fall the Stewardship Committee asks the congregation to make a financial commitment to the ministries of the church for the upcoming year.  Commitment Sunday is preceded by a period in which the congregation is asked to reflect and pray about the use of their resources in the context of God's providing love. The committee then compiles the response in order to assist the session in determining the scope of ministry that will be possible for the coming year.  Join us on November 10, 2013 for our Stewardship Commitment Sunday.

2013 Stewardship Committee:  Mary Distin, Scott McClintock, Rod Lemon, Joyce Patterson, Sally Bowman

On Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church, 116 South B Street in Monmouth, there will be an educational event to help you recognize and work to prevent situations where older adults are abused or taken advantage of physically, mentally, or financially.  Unfortunately, older adults can be very vulnerable to abuse or exploitation by a relative, neighbor, care-giver or even a total stranger who may phone or email them.

Alternatives for the Older Adult, which serves Western Illinois communities, will describe how this happens and point us to clues that someone we know may be a potential victim.  Other resource persons will be on hand to help us understand how this issue affects our local community. 

Come and learn to help someone you care about ... or maybe even help yourself learn to avoid these problems.  Refreshments will be served.

There will be a box located in the Youth Wing next to the freezer where these items can be dropped off. Some donations of tea and napkins have already come in.
