ALL SAINTS' SUNDAY
All Saints' Day celebration has a long history in the worship life of the Christian Church. It began as a commemoration of the martyrs who had died for the faith, and it has since become a day when we honor and remember those who, in death, have joined the Church Triumphant, as well as the faithful saints of the present who serve Jesus Christ. Martin Luther held that all Christians are simultaneously sinner and saint--a sinner because of our rebellious nature, but a saint because of salvation in Jesus.

We Need You in Planning Our Future Together

To be honest, we don’t know if you have completed the Church Assessment Tool Survey (CAT) because each person’s answers are anonymous. BUT, if you haven’t already, please shed some light on your experiences at TLC. It will only take about 15 minutes. For your convenience, the link to your CAT is provided again below.
Please remember-this link is not transferable. Please do not forward it.
If you have questions, please contact Beth Mercer at buddyjoos@hotmail.com.
With our sincere gratitude,

Youth & Family Minister Ben Cherland warms up with Aiden and Emieline Gardner
|
|
Halloween evening at TLC began with a casual, yet uniquely themed Oasis worship service. Anybody attending had the option to dress in Halloween costume and/or unusual makeup. Some did, especially after Pastor Arthur’s daughter, Richenard, was the ipso facto makeup artist for the night - delighting in the freedom to paint dad’s face.
Following the service, all were invited to the west parking lot to make s’mores by the recreational campfires and welcome neighboring tricksters & treatsters to join-in.

Princess Olivia Oelkers and Batgirl/Mom Karma Oelkers, neighbors of TLC.

Interested in learning about TLC Therapy Animals?
A therapy animal is most commonly a dog (but can be cats and other species) that has been obedience trained and screened for its ability to interact favorably with humans and other animals. The primary purpose of a therapy animal is to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, hospices, disaster areas, and to people with learning difficulties.
