| Pastor Scott's Message  Two weeks ago, Principal Masa Massenburg of North Glendale Elementary graciously came to our church and received a check for $2500 towards their summer reading program. The money will be used to buy prizes as an incentive to read. I was very grateful that Dr. Massenburg came. I was surprised when she began her remarks with "Greetings in the name of the Lord." I was proud when our congregation gave her an extended ovation, making her feel very welcome. Then one week later, I saw Dr. Massenburg again. She was greeting families on a weekday morning on Sappington. I parked and went up and thanked her. She said she had something for our church. We went inside and pulled out two large envelopes filled with Thank you notes from the kids and teachers. I've posted some of them on the bulletin board in the hallway. Here are some excerpts from the teachers. "Thank you for your wonderful and generous donation." "Words can't even begin to express how thankful we are and how important summer reading is to our students." Here are some excerpts from the kids. "First place goes to you!" "Dear all priests, Thank you for all you have ever given to us! Such as hope, kindness and so much more!" "I really like to read because I don't have much to do. I don't like what my brothers play." "Reading makes the world a better place." "I hope you will do more good things in the community." "You guys are the real stars. (their mascot is the super stars) I know that sounds like it is from a cheesy movie but I really mean it." "The prizes weren't really good last year." "Thank you so much for your very humble deed." Kids drew pictures of rainbows, a dancing church, a reading rabbit and a lot of crosses. Coincidentally, Paul Robinson shared how Martin Luther advocated for the first truly public schools in Europe. He believed that is helped children to read the Bible but also be productive citizens who lived a good life. Gratefully, we got to promote literacy in our own backyard. Dear Lord, bless these kids through reading. Help us to reach them with the Gospel. Also, watch for an article in the Kirkwood times about our connection with North Glendale Elementary.

Faith Support for Individuals with Loved Ones in Jail Through his role as Chaplain for the St. Louis County Jail, Pastor Vince Stanley has recognized the emotional stress placed on individuals when a loved one is in jail. Pastor Stanley has formed a faith-based and confidential support group for individuals who have loved ones currently or formerly incarcerated. The group will meet monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00pm at Concordia Lutheran Church in Kirkwood. If you are dealing with this stressful situation or have experiences to share, please join this group. |
Notes from the Music Director Our choir has had an excellent beginning. The words of each anthem are printed in the bulletin. I have chosen some wonderful anthems and songs between now and January. All new voices are needed, however...four to five new sopranos would surely complete a well-balanced choir. Please consider joining the choir as we sing to the glory of God in a beautiful sanctuary. Please read Psalm 150.
In Christ,

Glimpses from the Homefront June 27, 1945
Dear Inkiers...Received another copy of InkLinks and find every one I get seems to be better...Glad to read that my twin brother letter in this last copy...back living in a tent, much rather have the barn in Germany, I expect to see my twin where he is very soon...so long till next month...he wrote again in September of 1944...just sent 43 days in a banana boat and now the other side of the world...in the Philippines, pretty nice here, raining straight for about 33 hours. Just made land and boy I was never so glad to get on land in my life! Went thru the Panama Canal, picked up mail, lots of natives around the tents selling coconuts and bananas, very good...time to knock off for chow. Hope to get another InkLinks soon!

Tracking Our Building Mortgage We have posted the result of the funds that continue to be specified weekly for principal reduction. We will continue to accumulate these funds until each month end and then send to LCEF in addition to our regular contracted monthly principal and interest payment. $19,000 of additional principal was sent in August. This reduced our 20 year term by 8 months and will save us over $29,000 in interest. This information will be updated monthly and posted on the LCEF bulletin board in the hallway toward the Parish House. If we can sign up 8 more accounts with LCEF, we will qualify for a mortgage interest reduction for the next FIVE years. If you have not already done so, please consider this win win activity. Accounts can be opened for as little as 25 dollars. Youth accounts are paying a nice rate of interest and are a good way to introduce this worthwhile organization and saving activity to your grandchild. |
Yard Work Volunteer Wanted We are looking for a volunteer to maintain the boxwood bushes on our campus. Bushes should be trimmed as necessary (2 to 3 times per year). It is estimated to take two to three hours to trim. We will provide a cordless trimmer unless you prefer to use you own. Please let Michelle know if you are willing to take responsibility for this seasonal task. |
Community Events LHSS Carnival Come one, Come all! Lutheran South is hosting a Homecoming Carnival on Friday, September 28 from 5:00-10:00pm and Saturday, September 29 from 11:00am-9:00pm.

Wristbands for unlimited rides are available for Saturday only from 11:00am-6:00pm. These can be purchased at lhssstl.org/carnival.
