This time we really mean it!

Power Lab Soccer Balls are in the basement

The soccer balls have arrived and are ready to be signed and decorated. If you ordered a soccer ball(s) please pick it up after church in the Fellowship Hall. We will have some permanent markers available for you to use if you chose to decorate here, otherwise take it home. They can be returned to the office. After they have been signed and decorated they'll be sent to Africa for distribution. We are hoping to do this by the end of August.

Yikes…it's still lost. You know how he gets around…it could be anywhere!

Keep your eyes open for Pastor Al's favorite wool Filson baseball cap. It is dark green with a small logo (the word Filson) on the side.

Baby Update:

Grandpa Al's ninth grandchild has postponed her entry into our world for 1 more week. She needs a bit more growing time with mom.

Ken & Linda Caulum with Sandy & Tracey Reid welcomed their new grandson into the family August 13, 2008 in Juneau. He was 7# 5 oz. and 21 inches long. Sarah and Bosjun are both doing well. As of this printing they are still thinking about a name for him!

Annie & Kent Chalmers had a baby girl, Brooke Anne Norgaard Chalmers, on August 9th. She was 5# 13 oz. and 18 3/4 inches long. She was named after Great-great grandma Ann McDonald, Grandma Carol McCabe and Annie; Norgaard is from her Grandma Britta's family. All are doing well.

Bits and Pieces:

Thank you Dave Riemer for doing all the mowing and weed whacking during the little spurt of nice weather we had. That was a big job ~ it looks great. (Sally helped too!)

Annette Olsen was working on weeding the flower beds again. The deer keep the trimming down…

Our Daily Bread for Sept - Nov is on the table by the elevator. Christ in Our Home should be coming as well.

If you haven't received any of the church emailing and you would like to, please let the office know. It's another tool to keep the congregation in touch.

Remember, you can find Pastor Al's sermons posted every Monday on the web under Al's Page. This announcement page is posted under Weekly E-News. While visiting the site, check out the new photos ~ thanks to Carolyn Hurtt for taking pictures at the church picnic and sharing them! Google Petersburg Lutheran Church to get there…

We are still looking for help in setting up our own web site.
