The Soup for Souls Ministry provides our congregation another opportunity to reach out to friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers in our community and show them Christian love. Care packages of meals, dessert, and homemade cards are given to individuals we encounter every day that may need some kind words of encouragement and love. Through this program we hope to reach individuals and show them the face of Jesus’ love and that we as a congregation care about them as they face a new, old or recurrent challenge in their lives.
If you know of someone who is going through a difficult time or could use some care, please make use of the Soup for Souls meals. Frozen meals are available at school and at church. Meals include a dessert. Free cards are included where you can write a message of encouragement or God’s Word.
If you would like to support this ministry special envelopes are now available at church. Thanks to everyone who helps with Soup for Souls and supports this great program that helps us show the love of Christ.

School Endowment Account: This fund was formed by a gift to the congregation from the estate of Dr. Myron Falck. The fund supports the school. Interest from the fund is used to purchase items needed for the operation of the school. Envelopes are available in the rack by the mailboxes, or you may speak to the treasurer or financial secretary.
Preaching and Teaching Fund: This fund is intended to encourage our youth to consider the preaching and teaching ministry in the WELS. Any student from the congregation studying to be a teacher or pastor at Martin Luther College or Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary is eligible to receive funds. Envelopes are available in the rack by the mailboxes, or you may speak to the treasurer or financial secretary.
Student Tuition Assistance Fund (STAF): This fund provides an opportunity for all our members to help directly in providing tuition assistance for the young people of our congregation who are attending our WELS affiliated high school. Envelopes are provided in the envelope packet each year.
Music Fund: Money received in this fund is used to support the music program in the congregation. Funds are used to purchase music for the choir and band or other necessary items used in the music program. Envelopes are provided in the envelope packet each year.
Organist Lesson Fund: This fund exists to encourage anyone who is considering learning to play the organ. Members may request money for organ lessons. People who are able to play the organ to accompany worship are becoming rarer. To meet the need of our congregation and others, we have established this fund. Envelopes are provided in the envelope packet each year.
Computer Fund: Money received in this fund is used to support the computer needs and audiovisual accessories of the church and school. Envelopes are provided in the envelope packet each year.
Memorial Money: Money received in this fund is given in memory of deceased members of the congregation with a designated purpose stated by either the deceased or the family members.
Maintenance Fund: The fund exists to give our members the opportunity to give an offering to God that will be used to undertake major maintenance projects on the buildings or grounds that are a part of our congregation. By “major maintenance projects,” we mean things that are extraordinary. It should not be used for ordinary, regular projects that need to be done to maintain our properties. As an example, this fund should not be used to purchase floor cleaning products that are used frequently. It should not be used for yearly maintenance projects on the floors. This fund should be used for extraordinary projects like replacing the floors. The voters will determine when the offerings that are given will be used and on which projects. The council may make recommendations to the voters, but the voters will make the ultimate decision. Envelopes are provided in the envelope packet each year.
