Opportunities to Serve:

2. BOARD OF ELDERS . As per discussion and decision made at the Sept. 13 meeting, three members will form a new board (temporarily called Board of Elders):.
Moved: That three people be appointed to serve as a ‘board of elders,’ without assigned duties -- other than they meet on a regular basis – let the needs define the duties of this board as it evolves.
3. PASTORAL SEARCH COMMITTEE . As per discussion and decision made at the Sept. 13 meeting, at least 3 members will form a pastoral search committee:
Moved: To form another committee to search for a Lutheran pastor to serve us on an interim basis for a specific term of 1 year, with the understanding that we will also continue with the lay leadership at a level consistent with what we are currently doing.
Contact Lou Hesse if you are interested in serving on either of these committees. After Sept. 27th, President Lou Hesse and VP Scott Neustel will appoint people to any unfilled positions.
4. MOVING DAY HELP: Serve Moses Lake has a family that needs help moving this Saturday Morning, October 3rd. Trucks, trailers, and people power are needed.

MONEY LEFT ON THE TABLE !
There are still Thrivent funds available to our congregation for 2009, over $1000 to be used for a congregational need. All we need is a congregational need ... a little tricky since we have so few. Ideas? If not used by Dec. 31, this money disappears.
Looking ahead: November 15th -- Skip Blodnick, Thrivent rep, will be with us to talk during Sunday School and fellowship hour about what Thrivent has to offer

The Wash for LIFE Carwash was a big success! Over $525 was raised for our local crisis pregnancy center, Crossroads, on this day when church groups nationwide washed cars with one purpose in mind: to increase awareness of the work done at these local agencies. A front page article in the local newspaper helped with that goal (in spite of a few misspellings!). Thank you to everyone who participated and to Terry for organizing this benefit/fellowship event.
Crossroads will have their annual fundraising banquet on October 16 beginning at 6:00 PM at the ATEC center.

The Monday evening Where God Meets Man book study has completed the book. The "Ty and Artis study" will aim to finish on Monday Sept. 14 (chapters 6-7) at 7:00 PM.
THESHING TIME AGAIN -- The Moore Family will thresh wheat on Saturday Sept. 12 beginning at approx. 10 AM. Location: 2 miles East of Hwy. 17 at the corner of Road L and Wheeler Road. See the harvest "the way it used to be done" -- by steam engine. Questions? Call Kevin.
"They continued steadfast...” Acts 2:42. After these words Luke lists four things that were hallmarks of the early church: doctrine, prayer, fellowship, and communion. God is steadfast anyway, and the early church continued steadfast. Could we then at Living Word remain steadfast in these four things that marked the early church? It says in the communion service, “This do in remembrance of him.”
Many are praying Saturday, Sept. 12th for the Holy Spirit to move within our blessed little church. Look for the sign-up sheet for the prayer vigil on the table by our bulletin board. Please pray with those who wish to commit our church to the loving care of our Father, that we can beseech Him in the name of our Blessed Lord Jesus, “Thy will be done in our midst”.
Upcoming Member meetings:
--- A Special Meeting will be held on September 13 at 10 AM (after the worship service and a little snack/fellowship time) to discuss the recommendation of the task committee to call an interim pastor for a specific time and introduce a couple of bylaw changes re: task committees and a ministry board (these have been sent by email; there are copies at the church for those without email. Please read them over before the meeting.)
-- The NOVEMBER regular meeting and all regular quarterly meetings for 2010 (Feb, May, Aug, Nov) will take place on the third Tuesday of the month = November 17th, 7 PM.
The Ladies' Tuesday Bible Study will resume on Sept. 15th -- To Live Is Christ, by Beth Moore.

Wash for LIFE Carwash
A fundraiser fellowship to benefit our local crisis pregnancy center: Crossroads Resource Center. This is a nationwide event that is taking place on Sept. 19th all across the country as youth groups and congregations join forces to support those to help these families. Penhallurick's parking lot, 9 AM - 3 PM, Saturday Sept. 19th. We would love to have as many families and youth as possible -- bring your cars to be washed and notify your friends to stop in too!

NEW Lutheran Study Bible released:
Concordia Publishing House will release a new version of the Lutheran study bible on Reformation Day, Oct. 31, 2009. Many of us depend on the "study notes" at the bottom of the pages in our Bibles to further explain a verse or give more insight or historical data. "This new Bible is the first in English to be developed from the ground-up with notes that are distinctively Lutheran, prepared by Lutheran contributors from over twenty Lutheran church bodies. Current Lutheran scholarship, insights from the Church Fathers, and rich devotional commentary provide meaningful perspective for both young and mature Christians." CHP also publishes nice prayer journals for those of you who like to keep track of those. This is a good way for us to learn more of the Lutheran perspective on scripture, from across the church and throughout history. Orders are being taken at the CPH website with prices offered at a substantial discount for pre-orders. Laura Lea has volunteered to compile orders into one large order so that shipping costs can be minimized (there is no shipping with a box order of 10) Contact LLO if you would like to order in this manner, before Sept. 20, please.

FIRST FRIDAY! is pre-empted in September due to Labor Day weekend.
Instead, please join us for a special event that will benefit Crossroads Resource Center, Moses Lake's local crisis pregnancy agency, and be part of a nationwide event called Wash For Life.
This is a great chance for our congregation to make a difference in the community as well as have some fun and fellowship. It's traditionally a Youth Group function, so we would like to have as many kids (families) participate as possible.
Car Wash is scheduled for September 19th from 9 AM - 3 PM, location to be announced, with dinner to follow (pizza perhaps?). Terry is the planner for this event.
The AFRICAN CHILDREN'S CHOIR is coming to town -- September 10, 7:00 PM at the Wallenstein Theater. Hosted by the ML Christian Church.

- Please sign up for Sunday School teachers for the K-5 group. September 13th is covered and after that it is wide open, since each of us knows our own schedule for the coming months. Please sign up on the bulletin board or contact Laura Lea so she can write you in.

The Moses Lake Ministerial Association meets for lunch on the first Tuesday of each month (with time off in the summer), rotating around various churches in town. Lou Hesse has been attending these meetings as our congregational representative to the community since we began as a congregation. He has suggested that someone else should take his place at these meetings due to time constraints and the possibility that he will be out of town during the first week of each month if elected to the CHS board in December. If this is something that interests you and you are free for an hour or two for lunch once/month, contact Lou. The first meeting of the new season is set for Sept. 8 (the rest will be on the first Tuesday of the month) at the CMA church on Grape Drive at noon.

.
Would you be in favor of changing our quarterly meetings to a different day/time?
___ Yes -- but keep it consistent as to day of the week and time each quarter.
___ Yes -- and make them different each quarter, to be decided at the close of the previous meeting
___ No -- they are best just as they have been -- the second Tuesday of the months of Feb., May., August, and November at 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
___ They are OK as they are, but another time might be even better if others have conflicts
How often should member meetings for church business be held?
___ Quarterly -- keep them as they are -- every 3 months
___ More often (monthly or every 2 months)
___ Less often (every 4 months or semi-annual) -- between times the Board of Directors and/or the Benevolence Committee should decide issues that come up
___ Less often (every 4 months or semi-annual) -- between times, a special member meeting should be called to address issues that come up.
Is there a date/time that is simply impossible for you to attend church meeting during? __________________________

We Rejoice with --
Luke, Caroline, and Annsley, upon their safe arrival and new home in Germany,
The O'Bri*n Family, now moved into their new home,
We also Keep these in our Prayers --
Pastor Michael W*ser, recovering from surgery on his right eye on Aug. 13 (to remove old scar tissue),
Nathaniel, undergoing tests at the Mayo Clinic in search of a definitive diagnosis for his syndrome;
Iver O., as he takes on the long recovery period after another leg surgery to replace hardware;
Melinda E., (friend of Artis), congestive heart failure and upcoming surgery,
Our congregation, as we continue to discern our needs and work to understand terms like 'pastor' and 'call,'
Those with homes still for sale, for buyers and fair prices -- in particular the Cl*yds house in Bothell, the LeM*sters Moses Lake home ; and the G*ttschalks(Debbie's sister) house in Portland,
Those seeking employment, particularly Amy M,
For safe travels for all who are away, Bill LeM*ster traveling often between home and the new job at Portland, OR; Epiphany Lutheran Fellowship (ALC) in Spokane,
-- friends and family members suffering various health and/or other concerns :
Rachel & Jason B. (expectant parents: Sept.) -- Shiy J. -- Keith R (friend of Hesses, chemotherapy) -- "Uncle Mark," (Kelli's uncle) -- Alice F. (Tom's sister) -- Kyle E. (Hesse nephew/godson) -- Pastor Tom (Bill's brother-in-law) -- Karen L, (Laura Lea's mom) -- Will and Dora J. (Juli's parents) -- Bill B. (Marla's father) -- Matt S. (friend of Tom/Marla, cancer) -- Shiy J (cancer) -- Zachary (Brandt's grandson) -- Patty (Stan's friend, cancer) -- Baby Mickennah R and her family (cystic hygroma)
.... and those whose names He knows and we keep in our hearts ....
Upcoming Member meetings:
--- A brief questionnaire is available at the church to ascertain the validity of the concern some have that it is difficult for young families and some older folks to attend member meetings on the day and time they are currently scheduled -- quarterly on the "second Tuesday evening" of the month. If you have a meeting time that is impossible to make on a regular basis, please be sure to let us know. The date of the November quarterly meeting has not been set, but will be set soon, using the results of this survey. If you are not in church the next 2 weeks due to fair, etc., Reply by email to Lou & Debbie as to your opinion on this.
--- A Special Meeting will be held on September 13 at 10 AM (after the worship service and a little snack/fellowship time) to discuss the recommendation of the task committee to call an interim pastor for a specific time. Also at this time, a bylaw change will be introduced with wording to add another board or committee to address the items listed in the ministry task committee's report.
NEW STUDY BIBLE TO BE RELEASED--
Concordia Publishing House will release a new version of the Lutheran study bible on Reformation Day, Oct. 31, 2009. Many of us depend on the "study notes" at the bottom of the pages in our Bibles to further explain a verse or give more insight or historical data. "This new Bible is the first in English to be developed from the ground-up with notes that are distinctively Lutheran, prepared by Lutheran contributors from over twenty Lutheran church bodies. Current Lutheran scholarship, insights from the Church Fathers, and rich devotional commentary provide meaningful perspective for both young and mature Christians." Orders are being taken at the CPH website with prices offered at a substantial discount for pre-orders. CHP also publishes nice prayer journals for those of you who like to keep track of those. This is a good way for us to learn more of the Lutheran perspective on scripture, from across the church and throughout history.
The Moses Lake Ministerial Association meets for lunch on the first Tuesday of each month (with time off in the summer), rotating around various churches in town. Lou Hesse has been attending these meetings as our congregational representative to the community since we began as a congregation. He has suggested that someone else should take his place at these meetings due to time constraints and the possibility that he will be out of town during the first week of each month if elected to the CHS board in December. If this is something that interests you and you are free for an hour or two for lunch once/month, contact Lou. The first meeting of the new season should be Sept. 1 (notification not yet received).
CONFIRMATION will begin in September pending consultation with the parents. Lou would like a second adult, preferably a female, to join the discussions, as this worked well last year Terry and Lou team teaching. Contact Lou if this is something you would like to help with. They will study the Small Catechism, also using the book FREE TO BE by Forde and Nestingen.

Dear ILT Supporters,
We are earnestly seeking people who are willing to join in a partnership of prayer on behalf of the Institute of Lutheran Theology.
One of the words of advice given by Henry Blackaby in his book Experiencing God is to “Find out where God is working and join Him.” Through a ministry of prayer, you are invited to join the Institute of Lutheran Theology in God’s work of “educating and preparing ordained and lay Lutheran leaders”. The leaders of ILT understand the vital importance of prayer that needs to accompany God’s call of faith and would gratefully accept your willingness to join the ministry of ILT in such a significant way.
As an ILT Prayer Partner you will be sent by email, approximately every two weeks, a list of new prayer requests associated with on-going needs along with updates on past requests for you to bring to “Our Father”. Your commitment of faithfulness in this ministry will have an eternal impact in advancing God’s kingdom through the ILT.
To become an ILT Prayer Partner please send an email to the following address:
ILTPrayerPartners@instituteoflutherantheology.org
Simply put in a message in your own words asking to join the prayer team. You should receive back a confirmation in a couple of days letting you know that you have been added to the list.
Thank you so much for considering this ministry!
In Christ,
Tom Walker, Dean of Administration
