Celebrating our Past - watch for historical photos throughout the month on our Facebook page, on the screens in the sanctuary, and on the bulletin boards. We will also share stories and memories of ALC during Mission Moments and on Facebook. If you have a story or photo you’d like to share, please contact Pastor Kristen!

Serving in our Present (in conjunction with the ELCA's "God's Work, Our Hands" Days of Service) -- join us for one or all of four service projects (1 each weekend). Opportunities include: 

*building a wheelchair ramp for a Jesup resident (after worship on Sunday, September 15),

*volunteering at the Otter Creek Animal Shelter (1pm-3pm on Sunday, September 22),

*working at the Independence Mobile Food Pantry (8:00am-10:00am on Saturday, September 28 at West Elementary in Independence), and

*collecting redeemable cans to collect money to donate to these causes (after worship and Rally Sunday activities on Sunday, September 8). 

Sign up at church, on our website or on our Facebook page for one (or all) of these opportunities. Sign up on or before August 13 to receive a "God's Work, Our Hands" t-shirt!

Planning for our Future - consider giving American Lutheran Church an Anniversary Gift of $85.00, $8.50, or whatever you can give, in celebration of our 85th anniversary. The money will be split between the creation of a fund for new windows and the creation of an endowment fund.  These funds will help ALC become more energy efficient and will support the ministry of ALC well into the future.  Please mark “Anniversary” on your financial gift.
