[AUG. 6, 2005]  EMDEN -- St. Peter Lutheran Church in Emden, Lincoln's Immanuel Lutheran and Hartsburg's St. John's Lutheran Church are planning a day of fun and fellowship for men, women and youth. The sixth annual golf outing begins at 1 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Atlanta golf course.

The cost is $16 per person, which includes green fees, cart and prizes. The management is going to try to give the group a modified shotgun start so there won't be too much difference in time at the finish. Teams will be organized with people of varying ability. Prizes will be awarded for longest drive, longest putt and so on.

After the game, there will be a potluck at Immanuel in Lincoln. Meat and drinks will be provided, and participants are asked to bring a dish to pass. A sign-up sheet is in the narthex at St. Peter.

For more information, call Leonard Krusemark at (217) 376-3234 or Tom Komnick at (217) 376-3145.

The women of the Central Southern Synod will have their biennial convention Sept. 9 and 10 at the Eagle Creek Resort near Lake Shelbyville. Reservation forms and complete convention information are available from circle presidents or Donna Struebing, (217) 642-5431. Reservations need to be made by Aug. 8.
