Sunday, September 13th kicked off our fall schedule with a great Rally Day celebration following the ELCA theme "My Word!!! The Bible for Every One."   The emphasis for the entire year parallels the Book of Faith Initiative which encourages and challenges all members of the ELCA to commit to more faithful study of the scriptures and an increased willingness to participate in Christian dialogue.  Our morning began with a Cross Generational Event during our 9:00am Sunday School hour which included three craft rotations and one relay race station.  Our Puppet Ministry was in top form as our puppeteers presented the skit "A Bible on my Eyelid" which featured Martin Luther in a 21st century library trying to adapt to the Bible being on an ipod application.  Worship returned to its 10:30am time and was led by our youth.  During the service, each child received a special blessing affirming their importance in this world as a child of God.  Following worship, we did what Lutheran's love to do........fellowship....which is another way of saying we had a potluck lunch.  As you can see by the photos, it was an exciting day and everyone had a great time.  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make all of the events special.
