Sunday School News. It’s been a great fall for our Sunday School! In grades Pre-K through 5 the children are using the Spark curriculum which follows the lessons used in worship each week from the common lectionary. The junior and senior high students are studying the Old Testament.
For the adults each Sunday a current topic is explored from a biblical perspective using the Wired Word. Feel free to join in for any class (adult Sunday School meets in the sanctuary at 9:15 a.m.). If you would like to receive an email with the next week’s lesson please email Kenn Mingus to be added to the distribution list.
The younger children are excited to “feed the elephant” each week with coins and bills. This offering will be donated to a classroom destroyed by the flooding of Hurricane Harvey at Lutheran South Academy in Houston.

 Cooking oil push. It's time for our annual cooking oil push in preparation for the holidays. During the month of October we will be collecting 48 oz. bottles of cooking oil for the GRACE Food Pantry. Each year during Thanksgiving and Christmas GRACE provides over 500 food packages which all include cooking oil. Our goal this October is 175 bottles, and we pray that you can find it in your heart to pick up a few bottles while shopping and give a little extra.
