Come Back to Church in 2012
In the first few days of the New Year many of us are struggling with beginning resolutions to improve our lives. For many this involves losing weight, getting in better physical shape and for some it involves straightening out their financial lives. No matter what your particular situation, deciding to go back to Church, or beginning to go to Church regularly for the first time in your life, would be the most important and rewarding resolution for yourself and your family. Come and check out what Aboite Lutheran Church has to offer your family. Join us on January 8, 2012 for a free breakfast at 9:00am and 11:00am.

Forty-nine Hams Delivered to Harvester Ave Food Bank
Aboite members donated forty-nine Christmas hams to the Harvester Ave Missionary Church Food Bank, and they were distributed to the people they serve last Wednesday.
“Dear Aboite Lutheran Church, It is with great appreciation that we thank you for your generousity in donating 49 hams to out church food bank. Many of these hams were given out on December 14th. Because of your generousity, many families who would have gone without a “special Christams meal” will now have one. We serve a very needy community, and sometimes their needs are overwhelming. Thanks for helping to lighten the load. God’s blessings on you at this Christmas season and always.” –Pastor Dave Binkley from Harvester Missionary.
