Changes to the offertory
It has come to the attention of the Worship Ministry Team that increasingly a majority of our members contribute their offering monthly, annually, or through direct deposit. This Sunday we are initiating an experiment to collect the offering at the end of the service. This change will allow us to make better use of volunteers (two ushers instead of four) and during the offertory time in the liturgy to celebrate other examples and opportunities for spreading the Gospel. We will still have ushers to prepare the sanctuary for worship and greet members and guests and collect prayer requests. For those members and guests who have an offering, the ushers will be stationed at the head of the center aisle with collection plates at the end of the service. Once we have had a few weeks to try the new process, we welcome comments and suggestions
The Great Apple Peel
Monday, October 22 at 10:00 am will be the start of the Great Apple Peel. The Santa Lucia Ladies are inviting church members to join in an appealing morning of apple sauce making. We will be using as many apple peeling- coring tools as possible and putting the slices into large Nesco roasters for cooking. It takes about two hours to cook the apple sauce.
Below is a list of some of the things we will need to make a successful apple peel event.
1. Apple peeling and coring gadget. (we can use as many as we get)
2. Ice Cream buckets to store the applesauce for freezing.
3. Nesco roaster for cooking down the applesauce.
We will have all the apples washed and ready to be peeled and cooked. The process should go rather quickly with the apple coring hand tool. The Nesco’s will cook the applesauce down into a nice chunky applesauce great to serve with Swedish Pancakes.
Remember to mark your calendar for Monday, October 22 at 10:00 am.

Meeting in a confidential setting, participants are guided by trained volunteers to work through the grieving process with others experiencing similar losses. The program is free to all participants. and is offered in Waukesha and Oconomowoc.
