AV Tech Task Force Update
Did you see the announcement for the new Technology Survey in last week’s Connections? Have you filled it out yet? If not, now is a great time to take a few minutes to click on the link below and begin. This survey digs a bit deeper into your thoughts and preferences in using technology. And it will only take 10 minutes or less to complete. As we have stated from the beginning, the Task Force needs YOUR input as we begin to prepare recommendations for technology enhancements for SAKLC. It could be as simple as better audio for our online services, improved lighting in the Sanctuary, more technology options for Fellowship Hall and Ogram Hall, additional training in how to use Zoom, etc. The possibilities are limitless, but we need and value your input.
Click on the link below to access the online survey.

We truly appreciate your willingness to share your experiences and provide us with your thoughts. This information will be used to form the building blocks for our technology proposal for SAKLC. Thank you in advance for helping us on this journey. 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!
