6 NOTICES, EVENTS & OPPORTUNITIES New Outdoor Sign Our current sign on 9 th Street has served us well for almost 20 years. It has been damaged by weather and vandalism and has been repaired many times over. Its purchase was made possible by a generous donation. It is time once again to invite such generosity to support the effort to replace our current sign with a new, electronic version. There will be a significant cost for this new sign, therefore, please keep this fundraising need in mind, especially when looking for meaningful memorials or other gifts in memory or honor of a loved one. Thank you for your generosity! Monday Morning Quilters are looking for new or used flat sheets or any size or color and scraps of cotton material for making quilts. Any donations can be dropped off at the church office. It s thrift sale season, so please help us out by shopping for sheets and material!

Please consider picking up a few of these items and dropping them off at church. You are done shortly after noon and have the rest of the day for other plans. It s a great event for families! T-shirts are available in the office for $8. Lutheran Campus Ministries is looking for Monday Night Cooks!
