There will be a distribution at Our Saviour's Lutheran Chuch located at 2101 N. Fruit Ave. on Saturday, 10/2/21, from 9-11 a.m.
Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you will need to bring your own mask.
On 10/2, anyone planning to volunteer who is or has been feeling ill - especially if they have or have had a fever, cough or flu-like symptoms - is asked to PLEASE stay home. Volunteers will be encouraged to drive through and get food for their own household, too, just like usual.
Please share this information with everyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer. Questions can be directed to me @ 13jdixon13@gmail.com or 559-287-3457.

Upcoming Events
We will be having our Blessing of the Animals Service once again this year. We will gather in the courtyard with our animal companions @ 3 PM on October 17th.
PUMPKIN CARVING & SPOOKY POTLUCK
Following worship and along with the confirmation cake, we will be hosting our "spooky potluck" and pumpkin carving outside in the courtyard. The congregation is invited to bring some sort of "spooky" dish to share (think "zombie brains" or "witches' fingers") while we will provide the drinks. We will also be providing pumpkins for carving. Please be sure to let Julie know if you or members of your family would like a pumpkin to carve via email:13jdixon13@gmail.com or text: 559-287-3457. You are also free to bring your own pumpkin and/or carving tools.
Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
It should be no surprise to you when I say the pandemic has been a tough time for many, churches included. We are still not near normal for our worship attendance. Some people are comfortable watching our worship on Facebook even though we’ve been open. Some don’t feel comfortable being inside yet and so they haven’t been to church in awhile. Some have moved. Many have kept up their offering by sending it in. Thank you!
We are at a critical point in our history. We need people to help out on our Church Council. We need: a President, a Vice-President, a financial secretary, someone to help with worship, and property. We have never had as many vacancies as we have now. The Nominating Committee (the Council) will be meeting soon. Please be open to serving if you are asked. Your church needs you now.
Also, as I mentioned, many of you have sent in your offerings. We are not in as bad shape as we could be considering everything but currently, we are $31,000 in the red. The last two months have been particularly tough. You can see the report included here.
I am grateful to God for the opportunity to serve here. Many of you have served before. Please serve again. If you can help serve on our Council or the other opportunities included in this newsletter, please call me or Yvonne Smith.
Oh yeah, Jesus loves you!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
