The wall is complete.  The only work that remains is carpeting the classroom, staining some trim, and organizing the cabinets that will be in the rooms!  Many thanks to all who helped with this project.

Mission Sunday                               

Mission Sunday was observed on October 4 with a full schedule of events.   We were blessed to have the Kingdom Kind choir, from Messiah LC-MS in Lincoln, who provided special music during the Worship Service and for the program which followed.  Dale Oberle spoke about his experiences with mission work in Haiti.   We also enjoyed special music provided by Pastor Burk, Rhonda and sons.  What a joy to have such a talented family in our midst!

                  

                                                      

The program and noon meal were followed by some fun and games.  All proceeds of the day's events will be used to fund mission projects.  Pastor Burk did more than his share to make this day a slam dunk!
