Latte Challenge
In order to save the Siberian Lutheran Seminary, the Rocky Mountain District voted to donate $150,000 to the cause. Messiah's goal is to provide $7,760 which is $12.50 per member. Hence the Latte Challenge. Give up 3 lattes and donate to the cause. Click below to see a video on the Siberian Lutheran Seminary.

LCMS Foundation Gift Planning
How might retirement change my estate plans? Retirement planning can often change the makeup of your portfolio, as investments change from long range to shorter range investments. Each one of those investments has a beneficiary designation with it, that guides those assests when the Lord calls you home. If you change the investment, you want to make sure that the way you fill out the new beneficiary designations fits with your plan. Contact Jason Jones, your Messiah Gift Planning Counselor to assist you in creating an overview of all your beneficiary designations.

Operation Christmas Child Boxes
*The Program began in 1993 by Franklin Graham. More info at samaritanspurse.org/occ. * A Gift box is just the beginning! It makes an opportunity to share the Gospel with children and their families! * It’s time for you to think about filling a box with joy, love, and the Gospel! * Boxes are now available in the Fellowship Hall downstairs. Return filled boxes by Friday, November 10th. * Instructions, label, and envelope for shipping cost ($10) are inside the box. Make checks payable to Samaritan’s Purse. Cash is ok too. * Choose a boy or girl and age bracket. There is a need for more 10-14 age girl’s and boy’s boxes. * Begin praying for the child who will receive your box today… What goes into the box is Fun~

You mite want to give your mite box to family members and friends.
Sunday School is now Kids' Connection
We're growing! We had 10 children show up on September 10th , 14th & 17th . Five of the children from the 10th couldn’t make it on the 17th. That means we have 19 children at Kids' Connection! Let's keep it up! Invite friends, family, and neighbors to learn about God's love every Sunday at 10:30am! All youth 6th grade and younger are invited. We meet in the extended day room downstairs. Children split into groups from there. As we grow, we'll need more teachers as well. Please see DCE Jonathan, Amelia Everhart, Lois MacDonald, or Denae Nesbitt if you would like to help.
