PRESIDENT'S SPOTLIGHT
She is a very hard working volunteer who, over the years, has been a great asset to both Northlake Lutheran and the Kenmore Community. She is a former Church Council president and is currently an active choir member. During her working career she worked for Safeco Insurance Company. Since retirement she has spent many hours each August helping sort, hang and label the Kenmore Art Show. Before Safeco was sold, the company paid retired employees for their volunteer hours…..with this person designating a non-profit to receive the funds. Because of her efforts with the Art Show for several years, Bobbi has been able to designate several nice checks to the Show. Our hats are off to you, Bobbi Osborne, for the expertise you have brought to the Art Show and to Northlake Lutheran Church. Flo Lindstrom, President
It has come to the Council's attention that there are some members of our congregation who may be in need of transportation to church services on Sunday mornings. We would like to identify some volunteers, preferably from both services, who would be willing to bring these folks to church and take them home again. Typically, the need for a ride arises from age/health reasons; consequently, the volunteers would need "senior friendly" vehicles such as a sedan that doesn't require a big step up into the vehicle. <read more....>

Vacations are over, some new choir anthems have been purchased, and now we’re ready for rehearsals to begin again. The first one is on Thursday, September 2, 7 PM, in the choir room. Rehearsals will continue each Thursday evening (with few exceptions) from now through next May. The choir resumes singing at worship on September 19. We always enthusiastically welcome new choir members — please join us in making a joyful noise unto the Lord! Lucy Kay Osborne Choir Director
Food Bank Thank you for all the food collected during our food drive. We will continue to have a table in the Narthex for ongoing food donations during the holidays. Please continue to remember the food bank on your trips to the grocery store.

What Was There A Year Ago Alexis Thode wrote the following as part of a school assignment. She chose to write about her grandfather, who passed away a year ago: In the past you would wake up before the sun, You would pretend to sleep so I could wake you You told me jokes and teased me just to see me laugh I miss you. Papa I will always love you and will never forget you! A Word from the Bishop
Amid all the talk of down economy, continued conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and congregations and members in turmoil over the decisions made by the churchwide assembly, it is important for us to remember our reason for hope.
