Congregation Work Day
We had a pleasant morning for our work day. It started out overcast but cleared and warmed up as the morning progressed. We raked the backyard of the Luther House and playground lawn area picking up leaves, sticks and pecan husks. After the playground equipment area was blown clear of leaves the mulch was rototilled to loosen the compacted mulch. This restores cushion to the mulch for playground safety. The Rose of Sharon shrubs at the side of Fellowship Hall building were pruned. The steps down to the Sanctuary furnace room were cleared of leaves to prevent clogging of the floor drain. Leaves were removed from the shrubbery and lawn in front of the Office. There was enough wind to make moving the leaves a challenge. One had to go with the wind which limited where the leaves could be moved to. However, there was a large pile of leaves left for Monday pick-up by the City.
Thanks to our volunteers Robert Allen, Jeff Eckardt, Dave Korn, Tony Mollgaard, Dave Rasche, Ernie Thoms, Bobby Wagner and Tom Weeks.

New Adult Sunday School Series
We recently began a six-session Bible study developed by communicator, author and pastor, Andy Stanley. Twisting the Truth is designed to help us understand how truth can get twisted and distorted, and how that impacts our life. Throughout the study Pastor Stanley exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies about authority, pain, sex, and sin. They’re deceptions powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities—but only if we let them. With his gift for straight, to-the-heart communication, he helps us exchange falsehoods for truths that can turn our lives completely around.
Sessions include:
1. The Sound of Deception
2. All Is Not as It Seems
3. Says Who?
4. Facing Forward
5. It’s Only Physical
6. It’s No Mistake
Come and join us each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the bottom level of the Education Building.
