Light of the World Outlet
Confirmation Sunday - October 25
PLEASE DRESS IN RED!
   
 
We're celebrating the Rite of Confirmation on Sunday, October 25th, when six of our young people make their Affirmation of Faith, reaffirming for themselves the promises their parents made for them in baptism. It's going to be a great day!  We are so proud of our young people, and rejoice in the vibrant faith they have grown in at Light of the World.
 
They are: Max Barker, Kailey Felch, Sven Greseth, Anika Mann, Alison Steger, and Julia Weers.
 
Please make plans to join us for this momentous day...
 
AND
 
Please dress in RED!

Light of the World Reflects

 
Your voice is needed on Saturday, November 7 from 9-11:30 a.m., for a Light of the World Morning of Reflection!

Light of the World makes a difference in our lives, and we'd like to make a difference in the lives of others, too. That's why it's worthwhile to spend some quality time together talking about our hopes and dreams for our life as a community, and what we'd like to offer others.
We're graciously meeting at Easter by the Lake, 4545 Pilot Knob Road, and thank them for providing the space for our gathering.
 
ALL ARE WELCOME!  Please RSVP by signing up at church or by emailing mission.assistant@lotwl.com

GIFT SUBSCRIPTION TO THE LUTHERAN COMING SOON
                      
An anonymous donor to LOTW has generously offered a one-year every- member subscription to The Lutheran, an award-winning magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We are aware that some of you may have made the switch to receiving information digitally rather than reading hard copy, so we want to let you know that this is also a digital subscription, allowing you to pass along your paper copy to a prospective member, relative or friend, or simply bring the magazine to church so that we can put this on the table for visitors.

If you strongly prefer NOT to receive a subscription, please let the office know and we will adjust our order accordingly. 
Deposits Needed For Youth Mission Trip
 
 
Our Summer Youth Mission Trip  for 2016 will take us to work in rural South Dakota at the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation (about a 300-mile drive from here). The dates are July 17-July 22, and the price is $289 plus transportation, which is estimated at  an additional $85 to $100.
We will need your decision and a $60 deposit check by this Sunday, October 25 in order to hold your spots.  Please see Jeanne Schwartz or call her at 612-272-0997
Putting Away the Garden
   
 
Join us this Saturday at 1 pm as we clean up and put away the garden for winter.

Location: At the intersection of Dodd Rd and 185th St. by Lifetime Fitness. It is at the 3 way stop. There is a gravel driveway where you can park.
  
Please contact Dana with questions!

GIVE TO THE MAX is 3 Weeks Away!

Give to the Max Day is Thursday, November 12th. This 24-hour period of online giving across the state of Minnesota ignites generosity and grows giving to faith communities, schools, and nonprofits. Light of the World utilizes this opportunity to fire up our giving as well. Last year we blew our previous GTTM fundraising efforts out of the water, more than tripling our previous numbers. Consider all the reasons you're grateful to God and for your faith community, and plan now to make a special over-and-above donation to LOTW on November 12th. And let's all plan to do it at the best hour of the week--10 a.m.!
