Emmanuel Lutheran Church - Aspelund

 

“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”

~ Psalm 113:3 ~

      August is winding down and our summer will soon be over. Once September begins our church schedule will be changing. Please consider helping with coffee hour and whatever funds are collected can be donated to wherever. Speaking of funds, Thrivent has a generous charitable giving program. All Thrivent clients with membership are eligible to lead a Thrivent Action Team. However, the number of teams each client can lead per year depends on membership type.  Clients with benefit membership are eligible to lead two Thrivent Action Teams per calendar year, and clients with associate membership are eligible to lead one per calendar year. I was able to secure $250 when our WMF hosted the Spring Central Tri-State Rally. The Trost family also secured monies towards the “A Tale of Two Compromises” event. I have also discovered Thrivent “Choice dollars” and those are monies you can donate to a charity. You can find more
information on the Thrivent website. I’m not sure how many here at Emmanuel are Thrivent members but please consider checking it out. 

     A reminder that on Sunday, September 17 at 7 PM, Emmanuel will be hosting its annual Singspiration.  Devotions will be by Linda Benson. Program by Mai Petterson, Dorothy Hjermstad, Sarah Tennessen and Kathy Gullickson. Hostesses for the evening are the FBI ladies. Please remember to invite others as it is a fun evening listening to all our wonderful local talent.  It was decided that the free will offering will be placed into the scholarship fund here at Emmanuel. Tuition has increased at the Free Lutheran Bible College so additional money can always help those that are attending from Emmanuel.
