Hope you’re enjoying these final weeks of summer.

This weekend we have the privilege of hearing from another ELC member who is attending seminary.  Joseph Paille, son of Ken and Sally Paille, will be leading worship at all three services this weekend.

This will allow Pastor John, Diane and Tom to be with Andy Twiton on his first Sunday of internship at Lutheran Church of Christ the Redeemer in Minneapolis.

Hope you can all attend and have a chance to greet Joseph Paille.

This weekend’s worship schedule:

Sunday morning:  8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship
(9:30 a.m. Coffee and donuts in fellowship hall)
10:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship
6:00 p.m.  Evening worship in Chapel.

Hope you’re enjoying the beautiful, cooler, summer weather!!

This weekend we look forward to our young people sharing a message about the recent 2012 ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans!   They will be at all three worship services:

Sunday

8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship with Holy Communion
10:00 a.m.  Contemporary Worship with Holy Communion
6:00 p.m. Worship in the Chapel with Holy Communion.

Progress on the building is looking great.  If you haven’t checked lately, the recent pictures can be seen at:  http://www.nationalconstructioninc.com/html/church_classroom_addition.html

In just a few weeks we’ll be opening the doors for the use of our new addition.  We’ll have wonderful new spaces and opportunities to gather, learn, listen, talk, and enjoy fellowship.  This can be a great time to open our doors to our community, build new relationships within our congregation, and spend time growing in God’s Word.  Be sure to watch the progress, but be sure to bring your ideas, dreams and visions for ministry and service.

Thanks to all who help support camperships!  Our confirmation youth and about 50 more young people have attended Sugar Creek Bible Camp this summer.

Dear Pastor John and brothers and sisters of Mt. Horeb

We are really happy that you took time during your Summer Bible School to write letters and make the banner for us.  It looks like, from all the photos that you sent, that you had a great time!  I showed the banner to our congregation on July 1st during our Sunday Service.  I’m including a photo…

Our congregation was excited for the letters and we distributed them to some of our members that understand English and asked them to write back.  I hope that you receive some letters in the next couple of weeks.

We greatly appreciate your gestures and we look forward to continue strengthening our relationship.

I hope that you and your congregation continue to enjoy the summertime.   Please say hi to the good people of Mt. Horeb.

God bless you, your family and congregation!

Regards,

Pastor Carmelo
Iglesia Luterana Divino Salvador
