Faith Lutheran Voters will meet next Sunday, November 7 after services. Service times will be reversed in order to have this meeting. Potluck.
Mission Giving Possibilities. At our next meeting, we will be dealing with the issue of our mission funds for the coming year. Last year the voters decided to direct the funds to an area in which they would be applied more specifically. The pastor is recommending that we direct our mission giving for the year to the Kurt Marquart Fund for Theological Education in Haiti. The advantage to this giving is that gifts become a part of the perpetual fund which remains untouched, but the interest is applied to assist those studying for the ministry in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti. It is hard to estimate how much benefit will be received on the basis of a one-time gift of this fund, because in fact the fund itself will outlive all of us, and continue working for the kingdom of God for many years.

Christ Lutheran Church Clothing Bank is closing. There are a number of reasons for this. The primary reason is that there is a vast difference between the number of clothes donated and the number of clothes actually needed in our community. Donations consist primarily of adult clothing, and demand is primarily for children's clothing. Also, demand is somewhat lower now than it was at the beginning of the project. If anything, we will be keeping children's clothing on hand to allow for us to meet specific needs as they arise.
Student Adoption: The Voters at Christ voted at their last meeting to support a student directly rather than going through the Financial Aid Office of the Seminary. The student selected in cooperation with Pr. David Carver, whom we supported a couple of years ago, was Sem. Samuel Wirgau. Keep Samuel, his wife Dorena and their daughter Sarena in your prayers during his fourth year of seminary.
