| Christmas in July | for Operation Christmas Child was a real success. We have 20 boxes ready to be shipped in November. We still need to collect $7.00 for each box. We will have a table set up between services to collect $7.00 to help get the boxes to the foreign countries. |
| Lutheran World Relief | is coming up in November. We have had a good response for school bags. We have several health kits, but still need sewing kits and layettes. If you still have a bag you are packing, please bring it to church by November 1st, as the ladies will be packing the quilts for LWR. |
| 75th Anniversary Celebration | There is a sign up sheet on the table in the Narthex for you to sign up so we know how many to plan for at the 75th Anniversary Celebration Dinner on Sunday, November 18th, at the Lincoln Firefighters Reception Hall at 241 Victory Lane. Cost is $10.00 (kids 6-9, $5.00) Also, there will be a freewill offering can for offsetting the cost of materials for our banquet celebration. If you can help, please put some money in the can. P.S. We didn’t want to raise the price of the ticket. |
| Cause of the Month |
October - The ARC of Lincoln/Lancaster County Donations for containers of honey support the ARC which raises awareness about developmental disabilities and provides services for people with developmental disabilities |
| Food Pantry |
In October, the Lincoln Lutheran Food Pantry needs macaroni & cheese
dinners, canned juices, spaghetti-o’s or canned ravioli, and canned
tomato products. We ask that you do NOT donate expired food—it will
be discarded. THERE IS A REAL NEED FOR FOOD AND/OR CASH DONATIONS AT
THIS TIME. To donate cash, place it in the collection plate clearly
marked “Food Pantry”.
PLEASE REMEMBER OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY GOAL TO FILL THE BARREL FOR THE PANTRY. LET’S SEE IF WE CAN FILL IT AGAIN BY OCTOBER 21ST. |
