ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Doris Barnes in thankfulness to God for the memories of her mother and in celebration of the birthday of Ann Price. Flowers are also given to the glory of God by Bill and Ocilda Files in thankfulness to God for His abundant blessings and in celebration and gratitude for 57 years of marriage on August 3.
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 the pew cushions on which you are sitting were a gift of Virginia Young, in loving memory of her husband, Cecil, a long time, active leader of Historic First Lutheran.
KNOTT’S DISCOUNT COUPONS Discounted admission to Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak City is available using coupons available from the Church Administrative Center.
CHECK YOUR POCKETS PLEASE Please check your pockets and purses to see if you have inadvertently taken home a Greeters Badge. We only have one left. If you should find one, please return it to the Church Administrative Center. Thank you.
A TRUE COMEDY OF ERRORS Our deep apologies for the extreme tardiness of the publication of our church photo directory. There has literally been a constant comedy of errors that has hopelessly delayed printing. Olan Mills is not to blame. We are not to blame. It just is what it is. We think we’ve jumped the final hurdle and hope to have the directories in hand soon. Thanks for your understanding.

Please check out the publicity ads on the table in the Narthex and speak to Pastor Schaar who will make all the reservations.
