Sign-ups are slow and we really need to know how many people are coming for this free of charge meal of Bratwurst, hot dogs, potato salad and sauerkraut, with dessert, of course. We are asking for sign-ups by Monday, October 19.

If you would like to have someone who has died since last All Saints Day remembered in the All Saints worship service on November 1^st please e-mail Rene at poplutheranchurch@sbcglobal.net

We are in the process of updating our church directory. If you have a new address, phone number or email address please contact Rene with this information at poplutheranchurch@sbcglobal.net

Tags will be available in late October. There will be a folder at the main entrance to the church which contains the tags, a sheet upon which to indicate which family has taken a tag and a pen. If you take a tag, please make sure you write your family name on the sheet in that folder. The tag numbers you should use are written in black marker on the back of the tag. If the item on the angel tag is more than $30, feel free to substitute for it. When the tags were prepared, it was not possible to research the price of each item. Attach the entire tag to the gift. Do not detach any part of the tag.  When returning the gift, it is very important that the tag be secured to the gift because it has the family number and the name of the child on the tag. When these become disconnected, it makes it difficult trying to match up the gift to the child. Gifts may be returned to the church during the morning hours during the week or on a day when we have either indoor or outdoor church services. However, it would be best to check by phone to see if someone will be there when you plan to come. Please do not leave the gift at the church entrance if no one is in the building. Please direct any questions to Ernie Lehman (203) 746-1224.

All gifts need to be back to the church by Sunday, December 6^th.

The new "Christ in Our Home" (October, November, December) is available for pick up at the front door of the church.

Pre-K through 6^th graders will meet via Zoom for 30-minutes of games, bible stories, and interaction!

Meeting ID: 810 2966 7079
