˜ Heart to Heart is a Bible study and informal Worship time
held in the Sanctuary. Steve Christopher
is leading the class. The topic: Living in the Vineyard.
●The
Gospel of Mark “Actions
speak louder than words.” This seems to
be the motto Mark had in mind as he wrote his gospel, for he focuses primarily
on Jesus’ deeds. Come and join us as we
study this gospel where Christ is portrayed as the servant of God. Our goal will be to use Jesus as our model so
that we can learn how to live for God and die to self. Lou Bertolini is the instructor. Class meets
in Room 17.
●Pastor’s
Class A new session of the
“Pastor’s Class,” taught by Pastor Brewer is in Room 18. This class is open to all who are interested
in hearing and discussing the Lutheran perspective of the Christian faith. It will continue for several weeks,
concluding with the reception of new members on November 20th.

Today our students learn about the account
of God healing a military leader from a foreign country, based on 2 Kings
5:1-19. A topic to discuss might focus
on God’s care and healing for His children.
Parents might ask, What was the sin in this
story? How did God deal with that
sin? How does Jesus provide eternal
healing for us?

FROM OUR SCHOOL
Disney Teacher Awards Nomination Information
Since 1989, the Walt Disney Company has proudly presented the Disney
Teacher Awards, saluting outstanding members of the teaching profession. Specifically, the program honors those
teachers whose approaches exemplify creativity in teaching and who inspire
a joy of learning in their students.
Selection for the Disney Teacher Awards is a two-step process. The first is a NOMINATING CAMPAIGN.
Anyone can nominate any K-12 teacher for the
award between August 15th and October 15th. In early November, every
teacher nominated receives a congratulatory letter,
a letter for the principal, and an application.
The
second step is the APPLICATION PROCESS. The teacher’s nomination letter INVITES them
to complete and mail
the application to continue with the
process. Disney Teacher Honorees from
every subject field and every level of K-12
teaching are then selected by their peers – former Disney
Teacher Honorees and representatives of leading education
associations from across the
Nominations can be made in one of two ways only:
- Through the Disney web site, www.DisneyLand.com, or
- By phone toll free, 1-877-282-8322.
Nominations for this year’s Disney Teacher
Awards will be accepted until
Katrina Relief
Made Personal –This past weekend two students at Our Savior Lutheran School put on a lemonade sale with all proceeds being
donated to hurricane victims. They distributed 125 fliers into
neighbors'
mailboxes the previous
week and spent nearly four hours handing out lemonade. The grand total
for the day was $155.00.
Wow! They chose to donate these funds to
Noah's Wish, an organization which rescues animals during
disasters and cares for
them until their owners can make a home again.
Great job!
Progress on the Landscaping in front of
building C is that all the trees have been planted. The next step is the forms will
be placed around
the trees and then the cement poured.
Finally, small cover plants will fill up the areas around the trees.
This should be
completed within the next couple of weeks.

There is a new
resource on the web which houses a collection of LCMS Pastor Sermons at the
Lutheran Devotional Corner. Their web
address is http://lutherandevotionalcorner.info.
The intention of the site is to offer church members a place to use
sermons as devotions, but also to allow those who are homebound and have
Internet access to have a means of worship and devotion as well.
