Please plan to attend and enjoy good laughs and fellowship. Bring a friend. “BRAINSTORMING” RALLY WITH BRUNCH: At the last OSLC Council Meeting, discussion took place regarding the possibility of collaborating on a joint effort regarding Worship Service and Sunday School. Of course, this would mean some changes and cooperation from all. Several good ideas were discussed and we are looking for more input and discussion. We are inviting the congregation to join in on a “Brainstorming” session and Brunch on Sunday, September 15, 2024 immediately after worship service. Your input is very important. A huge thank you to Mary Castle for organizing the Church Potluck Picnic on August 4 as well as a heartfelt thank you to all who assisted, brought food and attended. Great food and fellowship. What more can we ask for? We are blessed. Three of our youth will be attending Vermilion Bible Camp in July. We wish Ollie Feldt, Sawyer Feldt and Matias Honkola a wonderful spiritual learning experience and a great time. Please keep them in your prayers. Congratulations to our High School Seniors, Danny Knapper and Eldrid Peterson. Graduation isn’t the end of a tough journey, it’s the beginning of a beautiful one. Sunday May 12, 2024 Mother’s Day, Senior Graduate Recognition and Quilt Dedication. Cake and Ice Cream will be served at coffee an. Last day of Sunday School. Our quilts, bandages, and other mission projects will be dedicated and blessed. The quilters will be putting the quilts on the pew backs with signs pinned to them to “GIVE THEM WINGS”. You may pin a donation to the quilt which will help pay for LWR shipping. The quilts will be on the pews after Wednesday, May 8, so the Graduating Seniors may select their quilts. They may pin a slip with their name on it to their chosen quilt. They will be presented with their quilt at the Sunday, May 12thchurch service. Please come and congratulate our seniors! Fall is upon us. Fall is my favorite season of the year, however, I don’t really appreciate the cold and snow this early. To me, it is a time when things settle down more after the busy summer. It is also the time that I reflect MORE on giving thanks and sharing. We have been informed that there is greater demand at our Area Food Shelf. Within this newsletter you will find more information on our local food shelf and a listing of their urgent needs. There is a container in the NARTHEX provided for food shelf items. Mark your calendars!!! The WELCA Christmas Dinner and Silent Auction has been scheduled for Monday, December 11, 2023. Auction items are appreciated. Proceeds from the silent auction go to a good cause. Please invite your friends. This is a very nice evening. More details to follow. If you wish to donate auction items or make reservations, please contact Kate Undeland at 218-780-2436. This is a bit of late news, but our quilters entered several quilts in the Embarrass Fair this year. Our quilts took first, second and third place. Congratulations. Both are quilters and bandage rollers are very busy and very much appreciated. Thank you. I would like to thank all of the volunteers that help in the church in some way. Our volunteers and all members are very important. Our church would not function without you. Thank you all. Sunday School is back in session with Jill Dickinson as our Leader. Thank you Jill. She can always use volunteers. Bring your children to Sunday School. It is a fun time and a great way to learn more about God. Included in this Newsletter is our November calendar. During the month of November, we have several special worship services: All Saints Day, Veteran’s Service and “Give Thanks” Service. Hopefully, now that summer is over, we will see more members (and guests) at worship service. Great fellowship. Our Nominating Committee is in the process of seeking candidates for future terms. This is not an easy task and we do appreciate your willingness to serve. Say Yes! At this time, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are so fortunate to be so blessed. Give thanks and remember prayer is powerful. GOD BLESS YOU Mary Hess, President Our Bible School Camp was a huge success again this year with 24 participants.
