Announcements for the week of July 6, 2008
July 3rd, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
Vacation Bible school is coming soon! Christi Gaertner is looking for volunteers willing to pass out fliers to houses in the neighborhood promoting VBS. Please see her to pick up a map and a bag of fliers. Fliers should be distributed anytime between now and Saturday, July 19. VBS is a great way to tell kids about Jesus, and you can help spread the Good News.
The blood pressure clinic will be held next Sunday, July 13, during the 10:00 a.m. coffee fellowship. Look for us where the coffee is being served and have your blood pressure checked for free.
Come one! Come all! The Grace Lutheran Youth group is having a hot dog sale at Walmart this Saturday, July 12th from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Stop by for a hot dog or a pop. Youth who participate will split the proceeds and replenish their personal youth group account.
Youth entering grades 7 through 12 are invited to attend this summer’s only Backyard Bible Study on Thursday, July 17 from 7-8 p.m. It’s at the home of Jordan and Jake Dixon, 180 Colonial Dr. East on Grand Island. Invite your friends to this free event.
There is a change of date for the Grace Ladies picnic. It will be held on Tuesday, July 15 at 6:00 at the home of Dorothy Kew. Dessert and beverages will be provided, just bring a dish to pass. All women are welcome, come bring a friend. Date location will be at church.
From now until Labor Day, there will be a box in the narthex for our SOCK and UNDERWEAR collection. We will collect all sizes of undergarments and socks to be distributed in the fall by the Community Mission and our city’s school nurses. ONLY NEW ITEMS CAN BE ACCEPTED. This is one of our most appreciated collections. Last summer we collected 272 items and they were distributed within a week! Please remember this project as you shop this summer. Your help is needed.
Bill and Connie Winter need a ride from the bus stop (near Old Country Buffet) to church this summer. They need to be picked up between 9:30 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. Please sign up with Christi if you can help once or twice this summer.
Be sure to check your family mailbox, in the chapel area. The July-August Gleanings is published. Also check out the church’s website. You can see a calendar of all the church happenings, read the sermons, request a prayer and read the announcements. Take a look! www.gracenf.org
Through the LCEF Joyful Response program our church can receive electronic payments directly from personal bank accounts or LCEF Steward Accounts. It is simple, safe, convenient, and stewardship-minded. This is a wonderful program to help you support the ministry of Grace Lutheran Church during the summer when you might be away camping. Interested? Talk to Jon Lehning.
Through you contributions to the mission fund at Grace, we reach out and support different missions locally, nationally, and international. Lutheran Campus Ministries is the special mission for the month of July.
