Medical Equipment Donations
Do you have lightly used medical equipment you are no longer using? SAKLC could use these donations! We often get requests from members and friends who are looking for something to borrow for a short period during recovery. We also sometimes need equipment on Sunday mornings. Storage space is an issue, so we can only take a few pieces in good or like-new condition. Contact the Church Office if you have a donation. We would be grateful!
- Wheelchairs
- Walkers (with or without seats)
- Canes

AV Tech Task Force Update
Have you had a chance to fill out this very short survey? Now is a great time to sit down and share your thoughts and experiences with technology in other churches. Many of us have worshipped online and have seen what other churches are doing. Did anything catch your eye? It might have been the use of sound, music or lighting that enhanced your experience. Take a
minute to share that experience with us. Simply click on the link below and take a few minutes to complete this one question survey.
|
|
We need and value your input as we prepare recommendations for the church leadership, Council and the congregation on ways to update and improve our technology. Thank you in advance for your input. In keeping with the theme of “What’s Cool”, (and special thanks to an anonymous donor) popsicles will be provided before and after service on Sunday, August 6. Enjoy and stay tuned!

Pastor Ken's Weekly Bible Study
|
|
Each week, throughout the year, Pr. Ken leads a Bible study on Wednesday mornings, from 11:00am-noon in-person and via zoom. The class discusses the Scripture texts assigned for the forthcoming Sunday worship services. Pr. Ken shares a calendar month of handouts in advance, so that participants can look ahead, and read the comments of Lutheran scholars prior to each session. Each week there is a good mix of lay people, and retired pastors, with each group brining their unique perspectives on life and Scripture – it’s a fun group! Click the button below to join the Bible study via zoom.
