Change of Time
- don't forget the time of our churches in Lone Wolf and Altus have changed. 

The Altus Church - worship starts at 10:30am with Sunday School at 9:15am. 
The Lone Wolf Church - worship starts at 9:00am and Sunday School at 10:15am.

  • The New Lutheran Service Book -St John's Lone Wolf  is hosting one of the locations for the introduction of the new Hymnal coming out later this year. The date is Saturday, September 23 from 9:30am to 12:30pm and the cost is $20, which gets you one of the new hymnals. I would like to see a good turn out from our three churches. We need all that are interested to contact one of the staff to get your name on the list. I need to know for sure and have the money by September 10.

  • Scripture Scrapbooking is scheduled for Saturday September 16th at Elk City. Following a short devotion, we will scrapbook pictures that reflect Scriptures that correspond to the letters of the alphabet. We have all supplies available for free except for your choice of pictures. Invite a friend to join us and check out our new website to see the Scriptures in order to plan your picture pages, www.lutheranok.org.  Call Mona at the office for info,1-800-758-2945.

  • Koininia Bible Study Group meets on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm in Blair. Talk to Mona for more information and location.

  • Help Wanted: Sponsors and driver for the youth to attend the Real Love Waits Rally in Edmond on Saturday, September 16. Call Mona in the office to volunteer. This is an extremely important event for our youth to attend. Parents are also encouraged to attend.

  • Special Recognition

    Darren Butchee received the Grand Champion award at the 4-H Dress Review. He also received the award for Most Improved at his piano recital. And he has been accepted into the Summer Science Camp at Western Oklahoma State College. Congratulations, Darren!!

     

    We need your help: The office computers are in need of software and hardware upgrades. Every resource we use within the partnership (past and present) is stored and used by our computer system. We are converting to a new server and new licenses are needed as we make the changes.

    Thank you Kevin for what you have already done and will do in the future to keep our computer system humming. You are a blessing to us!!!

Partnership Men

Men's Bible Study Breakfast meets weekly on Monday mornings from 6:30-7:20am at the church parish hall in Lone Wolf. There's always a hot inviting breakfast, good discussions, prayer and encouragement. Over 15 meet weekly in this group which is currently studying the book of Philemon. There's always room and food for more.

Men's Bible Study Breakfast: The men of the Altus congregation meet weekly for a Bible study over breakfast. We meet on Wednesdays at 6:30am at the church. B.J. leads the Bible study. They are taking the summer off and returning in September.

Partners Family Ministry

Mother's Day/Parents' Night Out: Every week, we're reaching new families in Altus with God's Word and love. Parents borrow our video resources, take home our church literature, ask about our church and most importantly they entrust us with their children. Please pray for our families and their children and the part we have in teaching them that they are unique individuals created by God and that He loves and cares for them. .You can also read about us on the web at the following address   www.LutheranOK.com/altuskids
