WHAT? A LIST? COOLS BEANS! – Thanks and praise to God…our 3- and 4-year-old PS morning programs are filled; a

waiting list and/or let us know if you are interested in a PM class. We can accept more children in our afternoon 4/5K
program. Our goal in all classes is to help students develop and grow in discipleship with one another and to understand
and appreciate that learning is a way of life…that they are God’s precious gift to us. Call 468-3596 for info or forms.
Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- God's way leads to an endless hope.

CAMP BENEFITS FROM CAMPBELL’S LABELS – Camp Luther recently sent a Thank You letter to the congregation of
Our Saviour. “Through the Campbell’s Labels for Education program, we are able to purchase many items for camp, such
as audio-visual equipment, athletic and sports equipment, miscellaneous office and program equipment and supplies. The
budget dollars saved in the purchase of equipment through Campbell’s soup labels for educational and programmatic
purposes is tremendous…Your contributions are enabling outdoor ministry to continue, so that today’s campers can
someday bring their children back to Camp Luther.”
QUILTS NEEDED – The 2nd Annual Quilt Auction to benefit the Camp Luther Scholarship program will be November 7
at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Weston, WI. If you can donate a quilt, please call the church office for a donor form.
Donations are requested by October 1, 2009. Can’t donate? Plan to attend! This year’s goal is $25,000.
MEDIA INFLUENCE – The average person is exposed to eight hours of media per day including TV, radio, movies,
recorded music, comics and video games. Do commercials and programming give the impression, through flashy images,
humorous slogans and promises of fun and companionship, that alcohol and pain/sleeping pills will solve their problems?
Parents need to monitor the messages from TV and the Web, when possible, and keep communications open with your
children about the messages they see in the media, and do things as a family (dinner, bowling, play board games, etc.).
Parents are still the most effective role models, especially for small children. Libertas offers inpatient and outpatient
programs to treat adolescent drug and alcohol problems. For more info, visit www.libertasgb.org.
LIFE QUOTE – “Jesus alone has the power to heal what we have buried and tried to hid for so long. Remember that
Jesus Christ defeated Satan with the cross. Because of that, we do not have to be held captive to shame at the hands
of our enemy any longer. With Christ we are spotless, clean and pure without blemish. Let His grace be enough for you
today as you trust Him to work all things for His good.” Grace Kern, director of Word-of-Hope, LFL’s post-abortion
ministry (888-217-8679) This “Life Quote” is from Lutherans for Life – www.lutheransforlife.org.
