ALOHA, ALL! I HOPE YOU “REGULARS” WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND OUR ADVENT MIDWEEK. SINCE WE ARE HAVING A LUNCH AND STUDY, I’M HOPING YOU’LL HELP IN THE LUNCH BY BRINGING SOMETHING TO SHARE. I’M MAKING MY “CLEAN OUT THE FRIDGE” BEAN SOUP FOR THIS COLD WEATHER. WE’LL NEED ANOTHER HOT DISH, SALADS, DESSERTS, AND BREAD.
WE’LL MEET IN THE FELLOWSHIP HALL BECAUSE WE’LL NEED THE SPACE FOR THE SANDWICH MAKING. I’M HOPING WE’LL HAVE AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE FOR THIS.
HOPE YOU CAN HELP AND, CERTAINLY, I HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US DESPITE THE WEATHER… SO PARAPHRASING DEAN MARTIN… OH, THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL BUT THE FELLOWSHIP HALL IS SO DELIGHTFUL. SO, WE’LL SERVE AND NOT COMPLAIN… LET IT RAIN! LET IT RAIN! LET IT RAIN!

God’s Work Our Hands
Join us Saturday, Sept 10 2022 in Community Service
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
We meet at Mill Park Elementary @ 1900 SE 117 on Saturday September 10th at 9am for commissioning and to meet with our volunteer groups and point people for our projects. Sign Up for a project with the assistance of Sherri Willmschen 503-760-6819. Please Email Sherry with any questions!
“God’s work. Our hands” Sunday, Sept 11 Worship
