Calling All Musicians and Artists

The Stewardship Team is searching for a logo and theme song for our new campaign this fall. The committee is sponsoring a contest open to all congregation members to submit either a song or a logo. Each winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to Perkins. Our new theme is “ Let God’s Love Move Us ”. We would like a logo which depicts movement and God’s love. The theme song can be an original score and lyrics or lyrics set to a score which has already been written. The song should be catchy, easy to learn, snappy and really “move”. All submissions should be given to the Stewardship Team by September 1. If you have questions, please contact Sharon Dunemann at 507-261-9772.

And Car

She also is looking for creative options for the use of a car. One of those options, of course, is to buy a used car. Any good ideas? Another option would be to lease a car for a year from someone who may have an extra car that they haven’t gotten around to selling. And there may be more options. Do you have a creative idea?
