ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Shelly Daniels in celebration of the birthday of her son, Tracy.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ALTAR FLOWERS We sadly announce that our florist is raising the cost of our altar flowers to $70.00 per week (up from $50.00). Please plan accordingly.
DID YOU KNOW? Perhaps you didn’t know that to this very day the official name of our congregation (which we call “Historic First Lutheran”) is “First Evangelical Lutheran St. Paul’s Church of Pasadena.” Not only was that the name selected all the way back in 1892 but that’s how we’re incorporated to this day in the State of California. It’s how all our property and bank accounts are titled. Back in April, 1951, the official church name was abbreviated (as a “doing-business-as”) to “First Lutheran Church of Pasadena.” And in 2001, following the declaration of the Church, the Parish Hall and Koch Hall as “Cultural Heritage Landmarks” in the City of Pasadena, we began using the name “Historic First Lutheran.”
THANK YOU! Pastor Schaar thanks everyone who remembered him at Christmas with thoughts, prayers, cards, gifts and monetary contributions to Historic First Lutheran in his honor!
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!
