An informational meeting will beheld after the 9:00 am worship service on Sunday, November 27 to discuss possible mission trips to Mexico, Joplin, MO, and Minot, ND. The focus of these trips would be construction related (building, cleanup/rebuilding). Come and hear about the opportunities even if you’re interested and not sure that it would be a “for sure” thing for you.
LAMP Advent devotional booklets are on the table under the bulletin board in the narthex. Please help yourself! Our own Dave Schneeberger wrote two of the devotions!
We have an opportunity to join St. Andrews Mission Society of West Fargo on a mission trip to Mexico during the tentative dates of February 24 through March 4, 2012.

A preliminary meeting will be scheduled soon for anyone interested in serving the Lord in this way. Please watch your bulletin and newsletter for more information.

This generous group of men prepare all of the food as their contribution to area mission groups, donating their time and cost that all funds go to the specified mission. It is their way of supporting missions and helping to spread the Word of God. A free-will donation will be taken to support the 2012 LAMP Mission Trip.
