CHANCEL REMODEL: Update!

Things keep changing! The windows on either side of the chancel have

arrived and they are being placed as I prepare this! The carpet that was

originally selected has been discontinued so the committee is back to the

drawing board on that decision. All in God’s time!

Once again, thank you to all of you who have volunteered many hours to

help keep this project moving forward! We have saved so much money by

having our members donate their time and labor. And . . . the work is

beautiful!!

Reformation Celebration October 29th at 3:00 p.m.

Zion Lutheran Church, Corvallis

Everyone is invited to attend a grand celebration, 500 years in the making! This amazing

celebration marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and of Martin Luther

introducing his “95 Theses” which sparked the beginning of extreme change within religious

circles of Europe! Be a part of this amazing celebration of history! After our worship, we will

have a wonderful meal. Please join us as we look forward to a glorious time of praise and

thanksgiving to God!

If you are interested in being a part of the choir for the Reformation Celebration, it is not too

late! A rehearsal will take place at Zion on at 2:00 pm this afternoon; just before the service.

SOME NEW INFORMATION I JUST RECEIVED: We knew that there was a meal being served

after the service. However, this is a potluck. Meatballs are being provided but other dishes are

needed – salads, casseroles, veggies, fruit, etc. If you want to bring a dessert, they are asking

that you only bring cookies.

UPCOMING EVENTS CELEBRATING THE REFORMATION

Dr. Kurt Hendel will present two events in Corvallis this week. Dr. Hendel is the Bernard, Fisher,

Westberg Distinguished Ministry Professor Emeritus of Reformation History at the Lutheran

School of Theology at Chicago. Both of these events are FREE and are being held at Grace

Lutheran Church, corner of Harrison and Kings Blvd.

Thursday, October 26th at 4:00-5:30 p.m. - Martin Luther: Man, Monk, Scholar, Transformer

Friday, October 27th at 9:30 a.m. - Community Conversation with Dr. Hendel

Fireside Room; refreshments will be served

Are you interested in potentially being the layperson delegate for SVLC

at our NW District Convention next year? The Convention will be held at

the Oregon Convention Center beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, June

21st, and ending at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 23rd. SVLC will cover all

of your expenses. Please let Lisa Boylan know of your interest.

The Corvallis Men’s Shelter is looking for volunteers during their season of

operation: November 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018. Located at 211 SE

Chapman Place (just across from the First Alternative Co-op in South

Corvallis), they will welcome up to 40 guests each night. If you are interested

in finding out more about this opportunity, there will be a volunteer training

on October 26th at 6:30 p.m. They will have a tour of the facility, as well as presentations on

check-in, bag checks, and interacting with the guests. If you have any questions, please feel

free to contact the shelter at corvmensshelter@gmail.com.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Lutherfest 2018 is coming soon!

Mark your calendars! Lutherfest will be on Sunday, February 25, 2018

from 2:00-4:30pm at the Boulder Falls Center in Lebanon, Oregon; the

doors will open at 1:30pm. This year we are excited to feature cheeses

from at least three creameries who have not participated in Lutherfest

before. We will again have a photo section for you and your friends to

capture the moment in a biergarten-style setting.

Tickets will go on sale at the beginning of December and can be purchased online from the

Luther House web site. For the second year, the Lutherfest Traveling Trophy will be presented

to the congregation with the most guests in attendance. Consider buying a table of 8 for $350

to enjoy the afternoon with seven of your friends! Consider buying a $50 individual ticket as a

Christmas gift for that hard-to-shop-for person in your life.

There are still a couple of holes on the Lay Ministry calendar for this Sunday. I have also

included the November Lay Ministry calendar so you can see where we still need

assistance! Contact the church office or fill in the calendar on the bulletin board on

Sunday morning!! Thanks in advance!
