Good evening, fellow redeemed!

Today, Mt. Olive raised just over $61 for Lutherans in Africa. This money will be used by Lutherans in Africa to teach African pastors and evangelists the basics of Christian doctrine, using the Bible, the Catechism, and the Hymnal. Our goal is $150 - a good start today! Remember to bring your quarters each Sunday!

Prayer Concerns for this Week:
Those who serve in our armed forces and their families: Rob Vadney, John Sorensen
Sunday School teachers who are preparing to serve
Teachers who have returned and those who are preparing to return
Students, both those who are already in classes and those who will be soon
Students who will be attending school out of town: Kathryn Guerra, Jason Rhode, Jessica Peterson, Stephanie Peterson
Arnold Krueger, Ellie Reiners, Esther Felsberg
Ruby Rieder, Ann Cleveland, Burt and Doris Nelson, Walter and Pearly Theiss (Houston)
The ministry of Lutheran's in Africa

This Week at Mt. Olive:
Sunday School teachers will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. This week, this will take the place of the Why Does It Matter group. Hearing from Lori today, I'm really pumped about the Sunday School teachers who will be serving. To be sure, I'm always pumped about the Sunday School teachers who serve.

Please don't forget the important scout fundraiser on Saturday, August 25. The fundraiser, at McDonald's on Alameda at Airline, is a fundraiser for Matthew Catherman's Eagle Scout project which will be completed at Mt. Olive. The scouts will be selling pancakes for 99 cents from 8-11 a.m. Please give these guys some business and support Matthew!

Zumba will meet only on Wednesday this week at 6 p.m. The regular schedule will resume next week.

Finally, next Sunday is Rally Day! This is a great opportunity to participate and rejoice in one of the signature ministries God has given Mt. Olive, and that's the Sunday School. Join us as together we lift high the cross and proclaim Christ and Him crucified. Also for Rally Day, Idon't have the meal sign up in front of me right now, but I do know that we're probably still in need of sloppy joe meat, buns, baked beans, slaw, and dessert, preferably homemade ice cream. If you're able to provide one of these, please give me a blast.
