· CHILDREN’S OFFERING - The children of Martin Luther Church collect an offering each Sunday morning during the Children’s Sermon. The collected offering will go to the 50 children at an Orphanage in Arequipa, Peru called the “Aldea Infantil Sagrada Familia” (translated The Sacred Family Orphanage). If anyone is available to write letters to the children (in Spanish), we would love to start a “pen pal” exchange!!! See Sherry Fowler for more details.

· The Worship and Music Team invites you to share your talents with our congregation. Anyone interested in presenting a solo, duet or group anthem during our Sunday morning services should see Alice Scheld or Pastor Cooper for available dates and times.

· “A GOOD MORNING” RESPITE CARE PROGRAM IS HELD EACH FRIDAY FROM 9 AM to 12:30 PM AT MARTIN LUTHER EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH. A Good Morning provides care for those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia and respite for their caregivers. There are dedicated and trained volunteers operating the program. Participants enjoy fellowship, a morning snack, lunch and activities while caregivers enjoy several hours of respite. The cost is $20.00 per session. Additional volunteers are always welcome. If you are interested, please contact Jan Carter, 766-2767 or Patti Mears, 795-3102. Volunteers are also needed to provide simple lunches for the participants. If you are available to do this, please sign up on the Respite Care Door in the Fellowship Hallway.

“Emergency Family Assistance” There are so many in need as we all experience this Financial downturn in our Global economy. This certainly does not exclude our congregation and those who worship in the pews beside us. In an effort to extend a helping hand to those in need, the Congregation Council has established an “Emergency Family Assistance” Fund to assist those who are in dire financial need. An envelope is in your bulletin today to allow you to help those in need. This will be an ongoing effort and you are welcome to extend a helping hand at any time during the year.
