Prayer God most mighty, God most merciful, our sacred stories tell us that you help and save your people. You are the fortress: may there be no more war. You are the harvest: may there be no more hunger. You are the light: may no one die alone or in despair. God most majestic, God most motherly, grant us your life, the life that flows from your Son and the Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

News to Share
Changes in Communications! As mentioned in the September 18th issue of Trendings, with the help of the Communications Task Force we’ve been hard at work in the church office streamlining our communications processes, and we are ready to implement some changes and updates. The ones that will have an immediate and direct impact on you are:
• The October issue of The Voice will be the final issue of our monthly newsletter. • Trendings will still be sent out weekly on Wednesdays via email and there will still be printed copies available at the church. You will also be able to request that a printed copy be mailed to you either once, or on a regular basis. • Beginning with the October 2nd issue, Trendings will be expanded to include information about events and activities 2-3 weeks in advance so that you can plan ahead. We will also include “Save the Date!” notices when applicable. • Each issue of Trendings will feature updates from different areas of ministry. For example – one week you will hear from Pastor Lara. Other weeks you will hear from Youth and Family, the Finance Committee, the Council President, Outreach, etc. • Trendings and the church website will be your primary sources for information about events and activities at SALC. • We will launch a new website in October. It will be in an up-to-date format that is easier to navigate, including on mobile devices. It will housed in Tithe.ly, which is the platform for our membership database, Breeze. This will help save us money because we’re already paying for that service. • Effective Tuesday, October 1st, the deadline for information (i.e. – announcements) to be included in Trendings and the Sunday worship bulletin will be Tuesdays at 12:00pm. Please contact Kathy Fisher (kathy@salc.church) or Pastor Lara (pastor@salc.church) if you have any questions about this.
