DID YOU KNOW? There’s probably much about Historic First Lutheran that many of us do not know. Watch weekly bulletins for “I DIDN’T KNOW,” a weekly historical or interesting tidbit of information about Historic First Lutheran.
I DIDN’T KNOW! Perhaps you didn’t know that Historic First Lutheran was one of the founding congregations of Concordia University, Irvine, then known as Christ College. Our own Dr. John Greenlee, then President of Cal State Los Angeles, was part of the original Board of Regents who called the original President, Dr. Charles Manske, and the original professors. Our own church secretary, Eve Carter, became Dr. Manske’s secretary. The founding of Concordia University is a proud moment in Historic First Lutheran’s history.
NO FOOLIN’! – THE ZOO RETURNS! Again this year on Palm Sunday, LIVE ANIMALS will be included in a festive procession. After worship, the animals will be featured in a petting zoo in the center courtyard. Be sure to mark April Fool’s Day, Sunday 1 April and invite all the kids you know!
DOUBLE YOUR CONTRIBUTION? That’s right! All contributions designated to our Music Endowment will be matched dollar for dollar by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
SAVE THE DATE! The Benefit Gala for Elizabeth House is scheduled for Saturday 21 April at 6:30 p.m. at the Oakmont Country Club in Glendale. Frank Pastore will be the celebrity speaker. Please watch for more details.
