ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Pastor Christopher Schaar in loving memory of the 95th birthday of his grandfather, Marvin Schaar.
THANK YOU! Pastor Schaar thanks everyone who thoughtfully provided him gifts at Christmas or who contributed gifts to Historic First Lutheran in his honor. Almost $1,400.00 was generated by members making gifts in his honor. Thank You!
FOOD COLLECTION Many thanks to all members of our 2 worshiping communities who contributed more than 300 items to the food pantry operated by the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Churches at the corner of Los Robles and Washington. In addition to canned food, multiple bags of beans, rice and rolled oats were donated. Thanks to one and all for your generosity!
BUDGET UPDATE As of this past Thursday morning, our congregational deficit stood at $11,469.77. That figure stood before the receipts of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day offerings. At this point, almost all our year-end bills have been paid. We will provide a final update in 2 weeks when we finalize the budget year.
NEXT SUNDAY IS EPIPHANY! It’s also the Sunday Pastor Schaar will reveal our 2010 motto. Please plan to attend!
USHERS: TAKE NOTE Next week’s service will involve Usher Team #7 – Gerald Freeny, Michealene Melus and Carol Schlichting.
