FROM THE ELDERS:  Joshua Brakhage has begun his studies for the pastoral ministry this Fall at Concordia Seminary in St Louis, Missouri.  The Elders will be providing financial support to Joshua throughout the time of his studies to help defray the cost of his tuition, books and other expenses.  The Outreach Ministry will also be providing “care packages” for Joshua and Suzy on a regular basis to help with things around the house and other needs.  If you would like to provide financial support, please make a contribution to “Seminary Student Support” and place it in the offering or in the Elders drawer in the Volunteer Office.  Please do not make specific reference to the Brakhage family for tax reasons.  This money will be placed in a designated fund and sent to the Seminary to support Joshua.  If you want to provide non-financial support for Joshua and Suzy, please contact Diane Morlock and the Outreach Ministry for ways that you may be able to help.
