RAISE MONEY & HAVE FUN WITH

MARTIN LUTHER Where did Martin Luther go? He has not appeared in a special front yard in weeks and it’s time he started traveling again! Let’s not forget about how fun it is to sur-prise our friends and family with a visit from Martin Luther. Remember, if you are chosen to receive a visit, you will need to make a donation to have him removed, or wait three days, in which time he will auto-matically be re-located. You may also pur-chase an indulgence for $25 to insure he will not visit your home again. To date we have raised $479, all money collected will help support our scholarship fund. For more information including travels and finances regarding Martin Luther, please contact Kelly Gruetzner or Kim Rasmus-sen.

ONLY ONE MORE FALL QUARTER SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER NEEDED

Our little Lutherans are still in need of one more volunteer to help teach them the Word of God each Sunday morning. Your service to the children of our congregation is greatly appreciated. If you would like to volunteer please con-tact Lishelle Burmeister (505) 301-5358.
