ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Lena Meyers in thankfulness for God’s many blessings, especially the blessing of family and friends. Flowers are also given to the glory of God by Zora Oglesby in loving memory of the birthdays of her parents and to thank God for His continued blessings.
A REMINDER OF LOVE The extra roses on the altar today are from some of the more than 140 rose bushes around First Lutheran’s campus. They are a reminder of God’s love for us and His provision for all our needs.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD! Today, through the waters of Holy Baptism, we welcome Kyle Robert Knight to the family of God. Kyle is the infant son of Jamie Snedden and Rob Knight and is a Fourth Generation member of Historic First Lutheran.
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 it’s quite likely that the North Parking Lot has never been resurfaced since its original installation in 1970.
TODAY AFTER WORSHIP The Branches will have a meeting immediately following the worship service.
MICHAEL SCHOEMAN SPEECH A limited number of copies of Michael Schoeman’s Faith Testimony presented on 11 November are available from the Information Rack in the Narthex.
HELP IS NEEDED Due to the vacation of Church Secretary Gina Harding this week, Pastor is looking for volunteers who can assist in the office. Please speak to Pastor.
MANY THANKS! Our parking lot repaving projects are almost complete and the lots look beautiful once again. Paul Nagle spearheaded these projects and spent many days driving in from his home in West Covina, despite the cost of gasoline. Thanks, Paul!
CONGRATULATIONS! Just over four years after losing their cabin in the “Old Fire,” Jeff and Carol Potter yesterday had a house blessing ceremony at their newly rebuilt cabin in Cedar Glen. Congratulations!
A SIGN OF THE TIMES Like everything else it seems, the weekly cost of our Altar Flowers is increasing, effective 1 January 2008. Please note that 2 flower arrangements will now be $50.00 per week. This is the first increase in many years.
END OF THE YEAR GIFTS Sunday 2 December is the deadline to submit suggestions for end of the year grants to programs worthy of our church’s outreach. Suggestions will presented at the Voter’s Assembly meeting, Sunday 9 December. Suggestions should be given to Roger Douglas, Teri Higby, Gerald Freeny or Carol Numrich. New suggestions so far include: Wheatridge, Hope Institute for Children in America and Lutheran World Missions for support of missionaries in foreign countries.
LUTHERAN WOMEN’S LUNCHEON Saturday 1 December 2007. Reservations are a must by the end of today. We have a wonderful program planned, and Shelly Daniels, who won at the L.A. County Fair for her Monkey Bread, will provide it for the luncheon.

The luncheon starts at 11:30 a.m. Fill out the form or let Jessica Valentine, Joyce Plueger or Ocilda Files know if you are coming.
