Mission & Ministry Weekend at Salem

By -

Our focus on missions continues this weekend! In our worship, we're going to see how Paul, as challenging as it was, followed Jesus' call to take the gospel to "the ends of the earth." Sometimes it's hard for us to take the good news to the ends of our driveway, but we'll hear how well-equipped we are to share the news about Jesus wherever we are and with whomever we meet. We will watch the new movie, To the Ends of the Earth, during the Bible study hour downstairs in the Fellowship Hall, and then in our Bible studies for the next few weeks God's Word will equip us to share God's Word wherever we go. We have copies of the movie available after all our services. Please take one and if you can, share it with someone who needs to see it! If you'd like to learn more about the movie, go to https://totheendsoftheearthmovie.com/.




Also, please remember that this month we are gathering offerings for Gentle Shepherd Lutheran School in Guntur, India. The school has 220 students and support for this school is not part of the WELS budget. Along with the school, the ministry operates six orphanages. The cost of caring for one child in the orphanage is $25 a month and the cost of educating one child is $75 a year. Our collection goes a long way to help these children get a good education and even better--to learn about Jesus!
On the information table in the narthex, you will find more material about the mission along with donation envelopes. We will also be handing out donation envelopes during each service this weekend. Last year, we were able to send $3,541 and it would be wonderful to do the same again this year. Checks should be made out to Salem Lutheran Church.  Please return your donations by October 31.

Next Year Update I know there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the next school year and what it will entail. As we continue to wait for updates from the CDC and our Government, I wanted to share with you the plan for Salem as of now. Salem is planning on having in-person school starting August 31st. We are currently creating a plan for what this will look like with the faculty and the School Board. We are planning on sending the plan out in the middle of July. We also continue to work on plans to go to Remote Learning again if need be. We want you to know that our primary plan is to have in-person school. Through all of this uncertainty, it is important to remember that we have a God who does not change. He has seen the entire plan of this pandemic and will use it for our good. This pandemic has created times that are hard for us to trust in His plan with all that our country is enduring. I pray you can find comfort in God'sWord and know that he loves and has a plan for eac...

Middle School Ski Field Trip—Inclement Weather Plans

By -
Dear parents, we are keeping an eye on the weather for tomorrow. In case our school day is canceled or we have a late start due to inclement weather, we will postpone the ski trip and try to reschedule with Afton Alps for a later date. We will let our chaperones know as soon as possible so they can make plans. Refunds can be issued if a rescheduled date does not work for chaperones. If we are unable to reschedule, refunds will be issued. In the event of a late start, our middle school students will have a regular day of school (beginning later, of course). https://salemsaintsmn.blogspot.com/2018/01/bad-weather-closing-reminder.html
