Dave and Barb Anderson are coming to Divine Shepherd on August 29th. They are traveling less, in their 34th year of full-time music ministry, in order to put more time into Shepherd's Canyon Retreat, a counseling ministry for burned-out pastors and other professional church workers and their spouses. These 8-day retreats, currently being held in beautiful settings in Wisconsin and Arizona, are staffed by two Christian counselors (male/female) and a chaplain. You will be inspired by the news Dave will share from this new ministry. Please visit www.ShepherdsCanyonRetreat.org to learn more.

DSLC Mission Team has
adopted a mission project for the coming year. We would like DSLC
members to help support Bethany Lutheran Church in their outreach to
their community. They are starting a "Soup Kitchen" to be held every
Wednesday from 11:30 AM until 1:30 PM. The support that is needed
includes donations of time {help set up, or serving, or clean up} or
money to purchase food, or maybe even to help cook. You could do this
once a month, once a quarter or once a year. This is our opportunity to
be part of a mission outreach in our hometown. Contact Marilyn Riese or
Pastor Dan for more detailed information. May you be blessed by your
helpfulness.
Reminder: Donations of clothing
and household goods are accepted in the barrel marked “Place of Refuge”
and non-perishable food pantry items are for the barrel marked "Good
Samaritan Center." Both barrels are in the narthex under the table.
