Announcements for the week of January 18, 2009
January 16th, 2009 Posted in NewsANNOUNCEMENTS
Stop by the chapel today after our service to have your blood pressure checked for free by Amy Folmsbee R.N. This is a special service we offer four times a year on the second Sunday of the months of January, April, July and October. (This month’s clinic was postponed a week because of last Sunday’s luncheon.
Our congregational President, Neil Stenzel, is still looking for a few people (young, older, male, female, new member, long time member) who are willing to serve on the Self-Study and/or Calling Committee as we move forward in calling a new full-time pastor. If you are interested, or can suggest someone, please speak to Neil today or phone him at 298-0909. Thank you!
Last week the Elders & Ushers distributed a “special hand-out,” survey page, provided by our Eastern District, as part of the preparation for our Congregational Self Study. If you completed it and brought it along, please hand it to an usher or Elder today … or, if you left it home, please complete the survey and mail it tomorrow to the Church office (address is on the bulletin cover) for use by the Self Study team. Copies are still available at the side entrance door. Thank you for your help! It is appreciated!
“Thank you” to Laura Lehning for teaching the Wednesday 9:30 a.m. Bible class … and to Jane Schulz for teaching youth Confirmation Class this past week, while Pastor B was away. He returns from the Lutheran Church Extension Fund board meeting tonight.
Please check your family MAIL BOX each week as you come to worship… and if you have a friend who has a “full mail box” please take those items along and deliver them to your friend on the way home! It helps everyone involved! Encourage them to worship regularly with you too!
Interested in learning about, reviewing, the basic Faith of the Lutheran Church? Do you have a friend who is interested in Adult Confirmation instructions? Contact Pastor B at any of the phone numbers listed on the front of the bulletin! He would like to start a class soon! Thanks!
ALL members and friends of Grace Lutheran Church are invited by our Interim Pastor to take part in the weekly Bible studies & discussions… Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. and Sundays at 9:15. Give it a try!
Leaders of Boards, groups & organizations in the congregation are invited to write up, and send to the Church Office, news items for the February newsletter, Gleanings! Help us keep one another informed about what is happening & being planned. Please send it by this Tuesday, Jan. 20th. Thank you!
Through you contributions to the mission fund at Grace, we reach out and support different missions locally, nationally, and international. Food for the Poor is special mission for the month of January.
