| Thank you to Brian Holmblade, who cut the red cedar 10 years ago & made the maypole per Vera Green’s instructions & who put it up last week. Thanks to Jenny Lynn Girvan who taught me how to dance in her kitchen, and who led the children in sweet Swedish dance. Thank you to Ken Bernhardt, whose staple gun made it all possible. Thank you to Mary Gallihugh, who stood by to assist. Thanks to all the moms, grandmas & grandpas who made sure the children got to church.
Mary Jo ThiesIf you are trying to reach Pastor Ogden on a weeknight, you are always welcome to call his home. However, you may have better luck if you first try the church (893-5745) or his cell phone (750-6591), as he usually has meetings in the evenings. Due to work and school schedules, we would prefer if you not call the house after 10 p.m. But please NEVER hesitate to call anytime, day or night, in the event of an emergency ( death, hospitalization, etc. ). Tyler Harris Lamiman was presented for the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday, August 9, 2009.
His parents are Todd and Lisa Lamiman. Ethan Michael Copenhaver was presented for the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on August 19, 2009. His mother is Arin (Snell) Copenhaver. River Slamkowski, son of Mary (Lathrop) Slamkowski will be presented for the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday, September 20 at 10:15am. Al and Michele Wheeler’s daughter-in-law, Suni is fine after a earthquake struck Japan in August. The quake was more over the water than land, and there were no casualties. Bingo Prizes needed for our annual color tour luncheon on October 8, 2009. Please place items in the basket at the front of the church and mark them “Bingo” . Any trinkets, jewelry, personal care items, lotions etc., are great ideas! White Lake Junior Strings—Arts Council of White Lake is offering violin, viola, or cello lessons on Mondays and Thursdays at their offices at 8695 Ferry Street, Montague. Come to the Open House & Registration event, Monday, September 21, 2009. For questions: call Sondra Cross at 894-4146.

(Susan Katzwinkle recently moved to Illinois—we received this letter from her recently )Hello!
I’ve been meaning to write for quite some time now. We are beginning to become settled in our new place.
The trip down here was long and uneventful. When we arrived we were met by my niece, her friends, my great-nephews, my son-in-law and granddaughter. (My son, daughter and grandson had come up to Michigan.) Unloading the U-haul truck was done very quickly! (There is truth to the saying “Many hands make light work.”)
The kids went down to the creek. They were told not to get muddy. They came back wet! I will quote my grandson “ You said do not come back muddy, we are just wet!” “So you can’t yell!”. Will you tell everyone I said Thank You for all the prayers for a safe trip. My new address is:
Susan Katzwinkel
904 Illinois Avenue
Mendota, Illinois 61342
My new telephone number is: 815-539-5340
Your friend,
Susan Katzwinkle

I spotted a picture of a Lebanon Youth Group T-shirt on the ELCA website. Kudos to whoever designed them. Hope the trip was a good experience. One of the videos said some attendees had a more rewarding work experience than others who sat a long time on a bus. I can’t imagine what it is like to be part of a 35,000 gathering and having to be shuttled around a city to various locations. I did watch part of the streaming video when Lost and Found performed at the beginning of the mass gathering one evening.
Love,
Marti Ogden
