1 September 2017 – Advent Announcements

Call Committee: On Sunday, August 27, we held a Call Service and the congregation voted unanimously to extend a Call to Rev. David Schroeder of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Excelsior, MN. Please keep him, his current congregation, and Advent in your prayers that the Lord might lead him to a clear decision as to where He wants him to serve. Pastor Dave has received the Call Documents and will be planning a visit. He will give us a decision by Sunday, September 24. We will update you via email, bulletin announcements, and our website as soon as we hear anything.

Pictures: Beginning on September 10, we will start taking pictures of members and friends during fellowship time. You may indicate which Sunday you prefer on a schedule posted on bulletin boards in the hallway and in the Fellowship Hall.

Back to School pictures – You are invited to bring first day of school photos of your children, grandchildren, and other important people in your lives. Please write names and grades on the back of your pictures. This invitation includes college students, teachers, and other adults. Contact: Carolyn Jones
