A Capital Campaign Committee has begun meeting to
establish a program for paying down our building debt
by $1.5 million dollars over the next 3 years. A lower
debt means more resources for reaching the lost,
growing our school, children and youth programs, and
compassionate care projects for the needy in our
community and world. May God bless the work of this committee
and the future response of the whole congregation!

unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches.”

Family Service Project
When: Saturday, September 24
th
9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Sign-up located at the Outreach Booth in the Commons
What: Work together to assemble Personal Care Kits to be distributed
through Lutheran World Relief
Why: To give families throughout the world a helping hand, a sign of
comfort and hope for the future. When natural disaster strikes or politi-
cal conflict flares, families often have little chance to gather their be-
longings before fleeing the danger. They arrive in a refugee camp or
other place of safety scared, vulnerable and dirty from travel. The
simple items included in the Personal Care Kit allow them to wash
away the dirt and sweat, with the fresh scent of soap and the softness
of a towel as reminders of someone’s care and concern for them in
their plight.
Donations Needed:
• Bath towels
• Bath size bar soap
• Adult size toothbrushes
• Combs
• Metal nail clippers
All items should be new and in good condition. Donations may be
placed on the designated table in the Genesis Hall. The work of your
hearts and hands will be an immeasurable blessing to families in
need around the world!
Urgent Care &
Repair Ministry
Current Needs:
There are several projects that we’ve been contacted about.
Please contact Suzanne Biddix for more information at
[email protected] or through the church office.
All material costs are covered.
This week marks the beginning of 50 hours
of training for nine members who have
committed themselves to learning the skills
of caring ministry. This first week’s training
covers “The Person of the Caregiver” and
trainees will consider five foundational
characteristics of a caregiver. These individuals are a
blessing to our congregation and let us thank God for these
ministers and ask for His help and guidance throughout the
training.
Has your grief left you feeling…
Overwhelmed?
Or at times like you might be…
Going crazy?
Have you felt…
All alone with your grief?
Do you feel like...
God has abandoned you?
Shepherd of the Lakes will be hosting a free Grief Support Seminar in conjunc-
tion with New Hope Center for Grief Support. Saturday, October 29 from 9am to
12pm. Contact Suzanne Biddix for more information.
