CHURCH PICNIC
The picnic is this coming weekend! Saturday, September 12 from 1 - 4 pm at Ballenger Creek Park, Shelter #2. Bring a side dish or dessert and bring a friend! We will have burgers and hot dogs and BBQ chicken wings provided by the church. Games, good food, and fellowship will round out the day. Hope to see you there!
FOOD BANK
On the first Sunday of each month, we invite you to bring in food donations. The food bank is currently in need of the following items: mayo, tea, coffee, dried beans, cake mixes, flour, cereal, boxed pasta (not spaghetti), cream of mushroom soup, oil, sugar, soup, salad dressing, tomato sauce, toothpaste, and bar soap. Thank you!
COUNCIL NOMINEES
Summer is here and autumn is just around the corner. So is the congregation annual meeting and council elections. The nominating committee has asked you to consider running for council. Well, we are still asking and praying for your discernment of calling. During the next two months, members of the nominating committee will be personally asking members to run for council. Please pray; we are.
2026 COMMUNITY TABLE
ETLC will be serving dinner at the community table on Sunday, November 22, 2026.
GOT QUESTIONS?
Join Pastor Kim in the gathering space or on zoom (using the worship link) at 9am on Sundays. Bring your questions or come to hear other people’s questions. We are talking about what it means to be Lutheran. All are welcome.
Have an event or other announcement for the weekly email? Please send a writeup to [email protected]. Announcements that are received by noon on Tuesday will be included in the following Sunday's announcements.
REMINDER: Never send cash or gift cards in response to online, text, or phone requests. Pastor Kim will never reach out asking for gift cards or money by email, text, video message, or phone call - even if it might look like or sound like her. Don’t get scammed.
Prayer List - Need a name placed on the prayer list? If there is someone who you want us to include just on the current Sunday, you may write it on the prayer book on the podium currently in the front of the church near the gathering space door. If you have any questions about the prayer list and how it is determined or maintained, feel free to ask Pastor Kim.
