ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Jean Norden in loving memory of her husband, Reverend Erwin Norden.
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.
DID YOU KNOW? There’s probably much about Historic First Lutheran that many of us do not know. So, 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 Reverend W. F. Seeger, our first called pastor, received a whopping salary of $104.00 per year. Those were, of course, 1892 dollars. Four years later, an increase of $56.00 annually seemed in order, bringing the annual salary of the pastor to $160.00!
LEADER TO LEADER AVAILABLE The inaugural issue of “Leader to Leader” is available from the Information Rack in the Narthex. These monthly letters are written by Pastor Schaar to the elected leadership of Historic First Lutheran. A variety of leadership issues will be studied. Interested church members (potential leaders) are also encouraged to pick up a copy as they desire.
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.
USHERS: TAKE NOTE Next week’s service will involve Usher Team # 8 – Gerald Freeny, Rudy Melinat, Michealene Melus and Carol Schlichting.
