AV Tech Task Force Update
|
|
It’s hard to believe that September is here. For the Task Force, it also means we are now at a critical point in our work to create meaningful technology recommendations for our church. The Technology Survey is the final piece we need to fully understand your needs. Many thanks to those who have already responded. But we want to hear from everyone. We encourage every person in your household to complete the survey. This is your opportunity to voice your thoughts and opinions. Your feedback is vital for the next steps in our timeline as we plan to complete the recommendations by mid-October.
Click HERE to access the online survey. Thank you for your help in this journey. There is still more to be done. Stay tuned!

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

Pastor Ken's Weekly Bible Study
|
|
Each week, throughout the year, Pr. Ken leads a Bible study on Wednesday mornings, from 11:00am-noon via zoom. If you wish to join in-person, please let Pastor know in advance. 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. Please reach out to him at pastor@saklc.com so he can share the materials with you beforehand. Each week there is a good mix of lay people, and retired pastors, with each group bringing their unique perspectives on life and Scripture – it’s a fun group! Click the button below to join the Bible study via zoom.
