STUDENT MINISTRY Nick Arnold, Director of Student Ministry, 614-3742 x509 nick@shepherdlutheran.com

Please join us for Sunday school this week! Each week we explore what the Bible says about real life issues and talk about it with friends. This week we're talking about... Middle School: Remembering God High School: The Most Important Question

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Cindy Miller, Director of Children’s Ministry 614-3742 x408 cindy@shepherdlutheran.com

In Children's Sunday School, the account of “Jacob and Esau” our children will study is a story of competition and bad feelings between brothers, parental favoritism, and family squabbling. Amidst this chaos, God acted with grace toward all of them. God acts with grace towards us too. At home parents can ask: Why is forgiveness important in our family?

Thank you from Director of Children's Ministry, Cindy Miller: Trunk or Treat was an amazing TREAT for our community! I give thanks to a gracious God for his abun-dant provisions in the success of Trunk or Treat and to you, my church family for your donations of candy, your prayers and your participation in making Trunk or Treat a success! Approximately 85 people helped in some way on Saturday, including handing out candy and treats from 37 decorated cars! The most exciting news to share is that we had an overwhelming increase in the number of children and families attending Trunk or Treat this year! God is so good!

THANK YOU I want to thank you for coming out to the McDonald's night. I really appreciate all the support you have continued to give my family and me throughout this journey. I'm proud to call you my family! Your Sister In Christ, Candice Dominguez
