Welcome, Donna Dempewolf! The first meeting of the Intern Committee was held on Sunday, September 23 at 8:30 a.m.

Donna Dempewolf presented her Learning Agreement which details what it is she hopes to achieve through her experiences at LUMC. Donna will be meeting all of the congregation over the next few weeks as she assumes duties in worship, visiting and teaching. Her first sermon will be given on November 25th and we are looking forward to her message.

Donna lives in Cambridge and is attending the Boston University School of Theology. She calls Minnesota home and plans to be back there for Christmas during her semester break.

We welcome her and look forward to guiding her this year as she grows in her pastoral identity.

Stewardship The 2001 LUMC stewardship campaign theme is Together We Grow, One Step at a Time and the accompanying scripture is from 1 Peter 4:10,

“As each has received a gift,
employ it for one another,
as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

The Stewardship Committee met on September 24th to plan this year’s campaign. The committee has chosen to use a new program that we’re confident will yield excellent pledge results. You will be learning more about the program in the coming weeks. Stewardship Sunday will be November 11th with a celebratory brunch in Martin Hall to follow the worship service, so please mark the date on your calendars. Members of the 2001 stewardship committee are Betty Hunt, Ben Beckwith, Rev. Susan, Kent Harbaugh, Mary Driscoll, David Kramer, and Dale Brunelle. Please join with us to further support the faith, justice, and works of the LUMC mission and ministries through your generous gifts and pledges.
