SOTC Annual Report and Meeting
Curious what we’ve been up to as a congregation in 2024? Take a look at our annual report linked here!
Materials for our annual meeting on January 26 (following worship) are also included in the annual report. Questions? Contact Pastor Aleese, Kathy, or Delene.
Community Diaper Bank Drive
Through the holidays, the Community Diaper Bank’s supply of diapers to distribute to families in the community has dwindled. To help, SOTC is hosting a drive through February. Sizes 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 diapers are most needed, but any size will be utilized! Challenge yourself to donate a box a month, or, a box a week!
Church Volunteer and Team Sign Up
Would you be willing to serve in worship? Or, help serve treats on Sunday mornings? Or, serve on a team? All – members and non-members – are welcome to serve as a part of our Shepherd flock. See a complete list of opportunities and teams on the bulletin board in the narthex and via the links above. Sign up at church or online. Sign up will continue through January; those indicating interest will be contacted in early February.
Note: if you are currently serving on a team, or volunteering in a specific role, please re-sign up. This indicates to us your continued interest.
Give for LA Fire Relief
If you’re looking for a way to respond to the wildfires across California, consider giging through Lutheran World Relief (LWR) where 100% of donations go toward immediate relief. LWR already has a team preparing a response. The destruction and need are overwhelming and only getting worse. Thank you for being someone who goes above and beyond to help!
Luther College Nordic Choir
Thursday, January 30, 7:30 pm
Looking for a great night of music? And, want to support one of our Shepherds – Noah Jorgensen? Noah will be singing with Luther College’s Nordic Choir – their flagship choir – this January while on tour. The closest concert is in Cedar Rapids at First Lutheran Church (1000 3rd Ave SE). Tickets are $20/adult, $10/student and may be purchased in advance or at the door. Thanks for supporting our young adults while enjoying a night out!
