Call Meeting: Mount Olive will be holding a call meeting for the Kindergarten teacher position on Sunday, November 3, at 12:00pm. If you have any questions, please speak with Mr. Springer or Don Lehne.
Flowers on the altar for Sunday, November 3, are given to God’s glory by Megan Gonzalez in honor of the 25th wedding anniversary of her parents, Sam & Sarah Barbosa.
On All Saints’ Sunday, we remember our departed Mt. Olive members and friends (November 2023– October 2024): Jan Woitas, LuAnn Hultgren, Darrell Iverson, Ruth Reichwald, Jerry Hansen, Sharon Irwin, Mark Wiechmann, Connie Gullixson, and Elisha Litynski.
Concerned about our Country???- So were Lutherans in the 19th century! Come hear what Pastor Koren of the Norwegian Synod and C.F.W Walther of the Missouri Synod had to say about the United States of America: her positives, negatives, slavery, freedom and all of it! Join us for a Bible Study led by Pastor Soule on Sunday, November 3, and Sunday, November 10, as we keep calm with God's Word during this fevered election season!
People We Are Praying For (We included prayers for these individuals in our last church service): Claudia Eisberg; Marsha Natvig; Owen Saidler; Duane Pansegrau; Pete Schuch and his mother, Kathy; Katie Tweit; Darcy Matzke; Lorena Merseth; John Sehloff; Christina Harmon; and Bob Heidenreich.
