WEARING YOUR WITNESS BRACELET? Are you still wearing your witnessing bracelet? If you need another one, please see Pastor Schaar.
A NEW “MINISTRY” We have noticed that there are times when its important to have an emergency contact number for our church members. These contact numbers will be stored in our computer for emergency contact. Please write the name and telephone number of an emergency contact (including their relation to you) on the back of an attendance card.
FOUR CONFIRMATIONS THIS AFTERNOON! This afternoon at 1:00 p.m., as part of our Spanish-Language worship service, Pastor Schaar, in his role as our Senior Pastor, will confirm four young people into the Christian faith. A luncheon will follow the service. All are invited and encouraged to attend.
WE CAN MAKE $1,300.00! That’s right! Thanks to a generous grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, if we can raise $1,300.00 to offset the additional costs of our music and Spanish ministries, they will match that amount dollar for dollar. Please use a designated or pew envelope, clearly marked “Special Fundrasier.” We must raise this money by 4/1/2008.
USHERS TAKE NOTE Next week’s service will involve Usher Team #4 – Doris Barnes, Taina Feher, Rudy Melinat and Paul Nagle.
