Help Our Music Class- Give Us Your Trash!
Ms. Scheuerman’s Music Class is going back to the music room! Due to social distancing, our class will look and operate much differently. We only have a certain number of instruments and a small amount of time to clean in between classes. We are requesting donations to fill in “alternative” noise makers so we can continue to make music while our “real” instruments are taking a break.
Want to help? Look for the following objects and consider donating them to Ms. Scheuerman’s classroom:
-Old Wrenches, Allen Wrenches and Drill Bits (various sizes), metal utensils
-Old (Clean) plastic or rubber tubing, such as aquarium tubing
-(Clean) Glass jars with lids
-Plastic shims or plastic combs
-Chopsticks
-Dry Rice and Beans
-Egg Crate foam or acoustic foam
-Coffee Cans (with and without lids)
-Small film containers or small Tupperware containers with lids
-Plastic Cat Litter containers
If you would like to donate any of the items listed above, please contact kelseyscheuerman@gmail.com

Mask Up!
As the pandemic continues to churn in our world, First Lutheran continues to require that masks be worn and kept on during worship services or other events at the church. Those leading worship in chancel will removed their masks while speaking so as to provide clear communication for both those worshipping in person and those on line. Otherwise, everyone is required to keep their mask over their mouth and nose. Please be vigilant and encouraging to one another in observing this for the safety of all. The reality is that case numbers are rising – hopefully we can help lower those numbers and keep things moving.
HOME Holy Communion Package: If you need home communion supplies as you worship virtually, please contact the Church Office as 409-762-8477 to arrange for your package of wafers.
