The Stewardship Committee is looking for a new team member to help count the weekly offering.
Our team consists of four, two-person teams, that are scheduled to count once every four weeks, with additional times scheduled during Lent, Easter, Christmas, etc., when we have additional services. You would work with your partner to count the offering after service, reconcile the deposit and drop the deposit off at the HomeTown Bank in Poynette or Harmony Grove. If you would be interested in joining our team, contact Sharon Kampen at 608-635-4745 or kampensg@yahoo.com. Sunday Mornings for Kids – July 18th till August 1st. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel Vacation Bible School for this year. In place of our canceled VBS, we will be having three special Sunday mornings for K-5 kids this summer! The theme will be “3 in 1 – Father, Son, Holy Spirit”. Week one will be July 18th and focus on God the Father. Week two will be July 25th and focus on God the Son. Week three will be August 1st and focus on God the Holy Spirit. Kids will gather downstairs at 10:00 am, right at the start of worship. The kids will join the community right after the sermon, and the pastor will have a special message for them at that time. 21-22 Confirmation Planning Meeting – August 4th, 4:30p Confirmation Coordinator Lynn Lund and Pastor Sterling will be meeting for an hour to plan for the upcoming confirmation class. Are you curious, interested, or maybe even passionate about faith formation and discipleship in young adults, then you are welcome to join us? Confirmation gatherings are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday evenings at 7 pm with the potential for worship, meals, or other events happening before then. Please Support Our Youth Going to the ECLA 2022 Youth Gathering – August 7th, 10a-1p, Lodi Meat Market, 150 S Main St in Lodi The youth, their families and supporters, and the Youth and Family Committee will be grilling and selling brats, drinks, and chips at the Lodi Meat Market.
