Come join Pastor Thul and a Boxcar full of helpers who will be working on the railroad all the live long day to share the excitement and joy that comes from the guy who bought us those tickets to Heaven: Jesus.

SSLC news: What's Going on?
July 11, 2021
The SSLC Church Council has approved the use of the tradition way that we collect offering, and left it up to the Altar Guild to determine when we will begin offering traditional communion—which appears to be this week already. We will continue to offer the individual portions for anyone who would feel more comfortable using them. Pastor and the Communion Assistant will wear gloves when distributing communion.
“The Offerator” - an octopus-looking device into which children and adults can walk up and put their offering contributions into on Sunday mornings, will be debuting in the next couple of weeks if everything goes well in its construction.

Please keep Karla Zerwas in your prayers. She was injured last week, had surgery to repair her femur, and is back at home to heal.
June 2, 2021
Our hearts hurt today as we mourn the death of Roger Humble, who died unexpectedly at his home yesterday. We will post the funeral details as soon as we get them.
It seems strange to follow up that message with a note about Root Beer, Dreamsicle and Purple Cow Ice Cream Floats that we will be sharing on Sunday after the 8 a.m. indoor service and throughout the 9 a.m. outdoor service. It's Jubilee as the first Sunday of the month.

SSLC Summer Worship Schedule beginning June 6:
8 a.m. – Sanctuary Service with Live Facebook Feed
9 a.m. – Drive-In Service in the SSLC Parking Lot.
The Executive Committee of the SSLC Church Council found itself in a bit of a quandary as it worked with staff to set times for worship through the summer months of 2021. Historically, we have gone to a single worship service in the summer, and the initial plan was to do that again.
God has blessed and grown the Drive-In Service over the past several months and to go away from something that the Spirit is obviously pushing seemed wrong. Couple that with that fact that there are several households with immune-compromised members who attend that service and there are several reasons to keep it going. The next question was when to do the Sanctuary Service: Not doing one was not an option. The earlier start will give individuals who would like to watch the video (on Facebook) on Sunday morning a larger window to do so, and Families with small children tend to gravitate to earlier starts, as well.
The 10 a.m. time slot can be used for baptismal rites, if the family wants to go that route. The Council has already started looking into Sunday Schedules for the Fall, which will be shared as soon as they are set.

SUMMER BIBLE READING
Staying connected and remaining in God’s Word can be surprisingly tough in the summer. People’s lives and schedules are busy, and church attendance is often lower during summer months. Between family travel plans and other obligations, the summer months can seem just as busy – or even busier – than the rest of the year.
We have two options to share with you to help you with your summer reading, an adult listing and a kids listing of readings for 27 days. You can pick up a copy of each any Sunday during the summer, or download a PDF copy here:

Our 4th Sunday Noisy Offerings, something that you would have to experience to truly appreciate. Try to imagine, though, what a hundred dollars or more in change might SOUND like hitting the bottom of a metal paint can!! It is music to generous ears, and we believe it is music to God's ears too!!
Our Noisy Offerings are applied to other missions and ministries apart from South Santiago locally (within the Sherburne-Wright-Benton-Stearns County area), state- or nation-wide, and globally. Past recipients have included Minnesota Food Share, Lutheran Disaster Relief, and Becker Backpack Buddies. Join us in constructing your own Noisy Offering box in whatever creative way you can dream up. Use it to collect your daily change. And because of God's overwhelming love revealed in the resurrection of Jesus, help us be CHANGE in our world! | ||||||
