OKTOBERFEST IS COMING!!!
Oktoberfest is Sunday, October 25. It is also Reformation Sunday. We will have one service this day- 10am and it will be in the sanctuary. We look forward to having the preschool kids sing during the service. The Oktoberfest celebration will be from 11am-1pm. It is crucial that we have people who are willing to come and help set up on Saturday, help during the event and clean up following the event. We need volunteers for Saturday decorating, Potato Peeling, help during the event (setting out and replenishing food) and Cleanup on Sunday!! Many hands makes for light work! Sign up sheets will be in the courtyard on Sundays.
Amy Held Need Your Help!
Amy Held would like to hear from the congregation about the music we sing during Second Service. She has created a quick Google Form to fill out. Just scan the following QR code to let Amy know how you like the songs we sing and if you have any requests. There are also printed copies if you would like to fill one out and turn it in.
Chris Hauser Sabbatical
Light of Christ Family,
Chris Hauser will be away on his sabbatical given to him by Concordia University Irvine. He will be gone from Sept 20 - Nov. 8. Like Pastor Jim he will be doing some camping/hiking, but unlike Pastor Jim he will be presenting at conferences, conducting research, and visiting out-of-state family. In my place, Aaron Thomas (Church Music student at Concordia) will be filling in for the traditional service. He is more than qualified and has played organ for several years at his father's LCMS church in Michigan. I look forward to worshiping with you upon my return.
Blessings, Chris Hauser
Preschool Prayer Program
