ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Charlie Freeny in thanksgiving to God for His many blessings and in loving memory of her sister, Pat Overshoun.
CELEBRATING GOD’S LOVE The additional arrangement of roses on the altar are from some of the more than 140 roses on the campus of Historic First Lutheran. They are a reminder of God’s continuing love for us.

EXCITEMENT GROWS ABOUT OUR EVANGELISM SUNDAYS! In September, we will be honored to host Pastor Mike Ruhl, a former missionary and currently the Director of the Center for U.S. Missions in Irvine. Pastor Ruhl will preach and also lead Bible Study on 30 September. Then in December, we will host Chaplain Ralph Buchhorn of The Extra Mile Ministries. Chaplain Buchhorn and his dog, Georgie, have been on site of some of our nation’s greatest tragedies – Ground Zero, Hurricane Katrina and Virginia Tech. Chaplain Buchhorn will preach and also lead Bible class on 30 December.
RESIGNATION Due to her relocation to Bakersfield, Dana Demko has tendered her resignation as our congregation’s recording secretary. A replacement is needed. Don’t be surprised if you’re approached to fill Dana’s unexpired term of office.
LAST HURDLE CLEARED, WE THINK! We have finally submitted everything necessary from us to complete our congregational photo directory. We hope to have those in your hands shortly. Our apologies again for this delay!
PLEASE EXCUSE OUR MESS The light fixtures in the Narthex have been removed for rewiring. In addition a third reproduction light fixture is being made for the Buckeye Street entrance. In addition, new glass for the church fixtures is being made.
