Join us on Wednesday, September 16, 12:30pm in Fellowship Hall for a Lunch & Learn with Pastor Monica.  Our first Lunch & Learn topic is "What do we know about Jesus before he began his public ministry?" 

 We will meet once a month for an hour to break bread and discuss topics of interest related to Theology, Spirituality, & Lutheran Doctrine. If you have a suggested topic, let Pastor Monica know. The next Lunch & Learn will take place on Wednesday, October 14, 12:30pm. 

No reading required: just bring your lunch, a beverage, and your curiosity! All are welcome!

This year Luther Memorial’s project for God’s Work, Our Hands is

assembling bags for the housing insecure in the To Our House

Program. Loss Voss and her sewing crew are preparing the bags. We

need to collect $1,200 for the items that we will be placing in the

bags. Some of the items include:

• Rain poncho
• Gloves
• Socks
• Toe warmers
• Hand warmers
• Dental kits -Toothbrushes, toothpaste
• Chapstick
• Protein bars

On Sunday, September 13th after worship and before the pig pickin’,

we will gather in the Narthex to assemble the bags. The items will be

placed on two tables and participants will walk around the table and

“stuff the bag.” This is always a fun activity.

Pastor Monica leads a Contemplative Prayer (centering prayer) Group every Wednesday from noon-12:30 in the Chapel.  

The Luther Forum will begin Sunday, September 13, at 8:30am, in the Lutheran Campus Center with a unit which uses contemporary stories as a way to reflect on how God might be speaking in our day.  The forum's focus will be Listening for God, Volume 1.  The book is composed of eight short stories by Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, Garrison Keillor, and others.  We will read and reflect on one story per week.  To ensure that everyone has a copy of the book it would be very helpful if interested persons would let Bill King know of their interest (luthercm@gmail.com).  All, including members of Luther Memorial and those from the community, are welcome.

Join us on Sunday, September 13, after worship, as we gather to assemble winter supply kits for guests of To Our House winter shelter program, and enjoy a delicious lunch! 

 Our congregation celebrates our members' birthdays by having birthday fellowship several times a year. For 2026 we will be meeting on the second Sunday of the month using this schedule:

September 20: for September, October, & November Birthdays

Volunteers bring in a variety of snacks to serve the congregation after the church service. We are in need of some new volunteers for these events. If you are able to help please let Marcia know: luther@lmlc.org. You can do this alone or with a group! The church has tea, coffee, & cocoa and plates, napkins, & cups. 

Come sing with us!  For upcoming choir dates, check the church calendar. If you have any questions or would like to join the fun, please email Amy!
