Text Box: From the LSI (Lutheran Services in Iowa) November Newsletter Taking care of caregivers During November, we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month. Caregivers may call themselves husband, wife, parent, son or daughter, but no matter what their title they play an important role in caring for loved ones who need their assistance. While this care is given freely and lovingly, it can be stressful at times. At Lutheran Services in Iowa, we celebrate family caregivers in communities throughout Iowa and offer programs that assist them as they take on this vital role. LSI’s home health care programs provide important services to families including home visits by skilled nurses, homemaker services to assist with light housework and respite services for those caring for a family member with a physical or mental disability. At LSI, we understand the difficulties and benefits of caring for a loved one. That is why we are here to support this important group of people that take on these rewarding responsibilities. To read helpful tips from LSI professionals about caring for loved ones and other helpful family suggestions, go to www.lsitips.com. Text Box: The Stewardship Committee will be hosting a food drive for the Kossuth County Food Pantry for the Thanksgiving holiday. Please bring items for a holiday dinner and place them in the grocery cart in the Narthex. The committee will also be collecting a special offering at the door on Sunday, November 1st and again on Sunday, November 15th for the Food Pantry. Please feel free to leave monetary donations on one of those Sundays! Please give generously as we all have many things to be thankful for! Let’s be willing to help those who are struggling this holiday season and throughout the year! Thank you!! Text Box: The Policy of the ELCA before the Churchwide Assembly last August did not allow for same-sex marriages to be performed in the church. This policy was not changed by actions of the Assembly. In April 2009, the Iowa Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage, but its decision maintained a church’s right to decide who can be married under its roof. On November 1st Bishop Last will be here at 2 p.m. for the Waldorf Conference meeting with area pastors. Part of the time will be set aside for Bishop Last to give a report and answer questions about Assembly actions. Interested congregation members are encouraged to attend.
