THANK YOU Rudy Melinat and his family wish to thank the members of Historic First Lutheran Church for their love and concern following the death of Gloria.
“WHAT IF?” What if you had a medical emergency during Bible class, worship or any church event? How would we notify your family? Please supply us with some emergency contact numbers (including names and relation to you) on the back of an attendance card.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY We have been asked to ask you that in case of a medical emergency around you during worship that you immediately notify an elder and allow them to call for emergency response from the church’s “land line.” It is being discovered with the multiplicity of cell phones that multiple people often call about the same emergency, clogging the 911 system. Cell phones also do not provide street address when they call 911. So, please, allow emergency calls to be made by an elder from the church telephone.
EAT AND STUDYTHIS SATURDAY This coming Saturday is our monthly Bible/Prayer Breakfast, starting at 8:00 a.m. in the Green Room. Our study topic will be “Jesus on Trial.” Suggested donation for breakfast is $5.00. Fellowship and Bible Study are free!
USHERS TAKE NOTE Next week’s service will involve Usher Team #1 – Bernadette Hendry, Greg Hendry, Rudy Melinat and Ann Price.
