August 2014 GOOD NEWS FROM LUTHER MEMORIAL PASTOR’S CORNER Dear Luther Memorial Church, I am so grateful to everyone at church who has supported me on this journey to ordination from 3rd grade until now! It is certainly safe to say that without your patience, prayers, education, and support I would never have dreamed of becoming a pastor, let alone actually doing it! Thank you also for the tremendous support at my ordination service, it was truly overwhelming to look out and see so many faces from home. Thank you finally for your incredibly generous ordination gifts; the pottery communion set is proudly displayed in my office and I’ve already been using the beautiful quilt and iPad Mini! Thank you all so much! Sincerely, Pastor Ben Groth On Sunday, August 17th there will only 1 service at 9:30 am with the annual picnic to immediately follow. Hope to see you there! Annual Church Picnic will be on Sunday, August 17 at 10:30 am (There will be 1 service at 9:30 am) Pulled pork sandwiches, grilled chicken, hot dogs, corn on the cob and beverages will be provided.

Any child 3 years to 6th grade are welcome (All children must be potty trained). Please talk to Irina Ertl or Carrie Reeves with any questions. There’s still time to register! go to www.luther-memorial.org Local Mission Project This year we’d like to make “Birthday Bags” for the Delavan Food Pantry. Many times the parents that need the services that the Food Pantry provides aren’t able to celebrate their child’s birthday. We’d like to help change this for them. Birthday Bags are easy to put together, will be collected from now through the week of VBS, and taken to the Delavan Food Pantry as a donation from all of our churches in Delavan involved with this year’s Vacation Bible School. Birthday Bags are simply a birthday gift bag with tissue paper lining the bag. Three items that the bag should contain for sure are a cake, a tub of frosting, and candles. The rest of the items in the bag are up to you. We’ve put such things in as balloons, horns, bubbles, streamers, or any little birthday gift bag item that would help make the birthday a celebration/party. Please prayerfully consider helping our mission project. Thank you for your help! YOUTH GATHERING MEETING Sunday, August 10th at 11:30 am This event will take place July 15-19, 2015, in Detroit, Michigan where Christian teenagers from all over the states gather for great speakers, bible studies, meeting new friends, and to do service in the local community.
