GRANDPARENTS DAY PHOTOS AVAILABLE ONLINE The photos that Cindy Tiefenbrunn took during the Grandparents Day on October 7 are now available to be viewed in an online photo gallery. Simply go to https://cindysphoto.shootproof.com/gpgpday. Please note that this photo gallery expires November 9. Thank you to Cindy for capturing the day for us! GRANDPARENT & GRANDFRIENDS SLIDESHOW Thanks to all who submitted a photo for the slideshow for Grandparents Day. The presentation ran during refreshments that morning. If you'd like to see the whole show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUAlvbp5bgI EDUCATE/TADS—DID YOU KNOW? This week’s focus is on your TADS billing account. When you log onto TADS and click on “Billing”, a screen will come up that lists your account number. By clicking on your family’s account number, you will be able to see all of your future invoices and past invoices. You can click on any of the invoice numbers to see the detail. “Past Invoices” are invoices that have already been paid. “Future Invoices” are invoices that are scheduled to be paid on a future date (listed as the “Due Date”). If you click on the invoice number of a future invoice, you will see the detail of what is included on the invoice. If your account is set up for automatic payments, then no action is necessary to pay your invoices. However, if at any time you want to pay an invoice prior to the due date, you can click on the green box that says “Make Payment” at the bottom of the invoice. This option allows you to pay an invoice with a different credit card or bank account than what is currently associated with your account. Please note: If you have any amount that is past due, it will show up in a pink box labelled “Past Due”. Please make sure these balances are taken care of as soon as possible.
If you have specific questions about anything in the TADS or Educate systems, please email either Sara Hopfer at [email protected] or Kelly Pfund at [email protected]. Don’t be afraid to ask anything. Chances are, you are not alone! And your question might give us an idea for our next “Educate/TADS—Did You Know?” section in our Green Sheet. NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER CHAPEL OFFERINGS TO BENEFIT PREGNANCY HELP CENTER AND LUTHERANS FOR LIFE Chapel offerings for November and December will be going to help two different organizations: The Pregnancy Help Center and Lutherans for Life. Students will be given baby bottles to help them save money for the offerings. Weekly offerings can also be given. The Help Center provides help for moms and dads in need. They provide information on parenting and adoption. Lutherans for Life assists laypersons and church professionals in educating people about life issues. They encourage our churches to integrate these issues into their worship and education classes.
