The ELCA has a prayer book for military members, with prayers for crisis, grieving compan-

ions, life circumstances during deployment, returning veterans and more. The last such book

was provided during World War II by the United Lutheran Church in America.

This new book offers support to those in uniform, military families, veterans and others. This

prayer book draws from resources found in our Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal as well

as those from the ELCA’s full communion partner churches.

We will be collecting money for these prayer books during the month of October. Each book

cost $8.00. Please mark you donations “Armed Forces Prayer Book” and leave in the offering

plate or mail to the church office. At the end of October our donation will be mailed to the

Federal Chaplaincy Ministries in Washington, D.C. and they will purchase these prayer books

to be distributed on Memorial Day to members of our military. In two years of giving we have

purchases 200 prayer books. We have placed a prayer book on display in the lobby.

Thank you,

Sandy Lort

The call to worship is

signaled by the ringing of

the bells 7 times. Please

be seated and be quiet so every-

one can hear the bells ring 3 times

to announce the beginning of the

service.

Be silent & be still

in the presence of the Lord

We are very sad to announce that

longtime member Rosemary

neral service was held at St.

Our sympathies go to her family.
