Thank You I would like to thank all my friends and family who helped me celebrate my birthday. God bless you all.     Esther Oberheu

Thank you   to Jana Hahn, along with Mary Jo Rathe and Tiffany Halverson, for your diligent work in cleaning the church   kitchen. The counters, cupboards, and appliances all are sparkly clean—and we will try our best to keep them that way!

“On next Wednesday the 12th confirmation guides Kent Davis and Jeremy Page will not be at confirmation.  Rachel Page and confirmation guide Tiffany Halverson will be there to help with small groups.  We will have a special guest to lead the large group service and do small group as well.  Jared McLey is a very good friend of Jim Rathe, Jeremy, Rachel, and Kent.  He is a Camp Ewalu counselor, helped with Grace Daycamp last summer,  and is currently attending Warburg college to become a pastor.  Everybody should be at confirmation and give him a warm welcome.”

During Pastor Niezwag’s vacation, if an emergency or crisis situation arises and the church office is closed, please call:  Rich Rettig (319-961-1157), Jim Rathe (319-231-5749), or Jean Bremer (319-939-8221). We will arrange for pastoral assistance when needed.

A warm welcome to Pastor Patricia Shaw, retired for leading our worship service this morning. It is very much appreciated.
