WELCOME: Rev. Karl Gurgel and his wife, Barbara, arrived this past week. We are pleased to have them with us. Rev. Gurgel will preach the sermon today.
[GJ - I thought Karl was still in hiding.]
UNITED WAY CONTRIBUTIONS: The 2009-2010 United Way campaign began this month. Last year Wisconsin Lutheran Child and Family Service received gifts from over 50 different United Way agencies and workplace giving programs throughout the United States as a qualified 501©3 non-profit agency. If you have questions about your participation in such a program, ask your Human Resource Director at work, call WLCFS toll free at 1-800-685-9522, extension 225 or e-mail info@wlcfs.org.
[GJ - Isn't United Way a pro-abortion agency? Note the WLCFS-Patterson connection.]
THRIVENT PROGRAM: Although the supplemental Thrivent program is scheduled for the entire year, we have heard that the funds alloted (sic) for 2009 may not last until the end of the year. So giving your gifts by the end of September or first of October is recommended lest the fund be depleted and your gift would not be supplemeted (sic). Thanks for considering making a timely gift.
[GJ - Can liberals spell? Edit? If y'all buy enough Thrivent insurance, Holy Word can get another free staffer.]
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: Our School is participating in several programs which help us earn extra money for school equipment. By collecting UPCs from numerous Campbells’ products and lids from V8 juices, we earn equipment. The General Mills Boxtops for Education Program provides 10¢ for each logo collected. Collection containers have been placed in the fellowship hall and in the school hallway for your convenience. Check your October Lamplighter for additional information and lists of eligible products and what to save. Thanks for your help.
RANDALLS’ PROGRAM: Randalls’ stores have a program which we use to help fund our school hot lunch program. You can help by asking the cashier to add #326 to your Randall’s card. Randall’s periodically sends a check for a small percentage of these sales.
[GJ - Commercialism is not working very well at Holy Word, because they still need synod subsidies after decades of growth.]
