ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Zora Oglesby in thankfulness to God for His many blessings and in celebration of the August birthdays of her family: Eric (8/2), Dai Vaughn (8/4); Zora (8/11); Zoralynn (8/14); Carmen (8/16).
A REMINDER OF GOD’S LOVE The additional bouquet of roses on the altar are from the more than 150 bushes on our church campus. They are a reminder to us of God’s love and constant provision for all our needs.
PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS! We’re searching for theme ideas for our 120th Anniversary in 2012. If you desire, please write suggested themes for consideration on the back of your attendance cards.
NEXT SUNDAY Bring your “Mighty Mite Boxes” filled with coins and bills for missions. You may pick up a “Mite Box” today from the table in the Narthex. Return it next Sunday filled with change. Every penny collected gets mailed to support worldwide missions!
TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY We will baptize Tatiana Maravilla, daughter of Elena Marchany and granddaughter or Felix Marchany, during worship on Sunday 28 August. Tatiana will make history as she has requested baptism at the outdoor fountain in the Fackler Garden – a Historic First Lutheran “first!”
