10/6 Church's future presentation I
On Sundays October 6, 13, and 20, we will have a special presentation during Bible Study hour (9am) about the future of the church in the USA. We will watch a presentation that was originally given at the WELS synod convention and discuss how it applies to our congregation. Several members have watched this and believe the whole congregation should see it. It discusses the decline of Christianity in the USA and what steps we need to take to avoid disappearing. I think, so I'm encouraging everyone to attend, even if you don't usually attend Bible study.

Casey Carter will lead a day of learning to hike and navigate off the trail on Saturday, Oct. 12th. Come take advantage of his survival instructor knowledge while he's still here! Sign up here!
