08-05-2012 Announcements

IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please remember those who are sick, hospitalized, undergoing cancer treatments or recovering from an illness or surgery, all who have had their prayers answered, our shut-in and inactive members, and at least two people in your life who do not yet know Christ.

LARGE-PRINT HYMNALS – We now have available a few large-print hymnals for those of us who need some assistance because of eyesight difficulties.  If you or someone you know would prefer to use a large-print hymnal, please ask any usher for assistance.

YOUTH GROUP LEADER – We are looking for one or more adults to lead our Senior High Youth Group beginning this Fall.  If you are interested, please contact the Pastor.

JOIN US FOR MOVIE NIGHT on August 17th at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.  We will be watching Dr. Seuss’ “Horton Hears a Who!”  We will provide the popcorn; you may bring your own drink.  Bring blankets/bean bag chairs or you can sit in the folding chairs.  Bring a friend and join us for a fun time!  (s) Board of Ed

WE ARE LOOKING for SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS.  Please let Amber, Cheri or Kari know if you are interested.  Please prayerfully consider volunteering for these important positions!

TODAY – As a thank you for their support, Sarah Ruml will be giving the Samaritan group a short presentation about her mission trip after the worship service.  ANYONE interested in what she did on this mission trip in encouraged and welcome to come.  Please give her a few minutes to set up and then head back into the sanctuary to listen.

LWML will meet August 9th at 7:00 p.m.  Pastor will do the topic and Gerry will do the lunch.

SAMARITANS PURSE “Shoe Box program” – For those who noticed the gray tub in the Fellowship Hall and are curious about its purpose, the following will shed some light on the subject.  The Board of Ed is very proud of the response we received from the local children to help provide items for underprivileged children around the world.  Samaritans Purse is a Christian organization that helps people in need.  They are helping dig wells and provide mosquito nets in Africa, helping Veterans injured while protecting our country as well as delivering packages to children who are in need.  The Board of Ed thought the children would like to be involved by providing items for needy children, such as hygiene items, school supplies, personal items (such as socks, t-shirts and underwear) or even toys and hard candy.  These are things that some children are rarely able to enjoy … essentially anything that will fit in a shoe box.  If any of the congregation would also enjoy donating, there is additional information on the bulletin board.  We plan on collecting items through August.  Thank you for your generosity.  (s) The Board of Ed
THE LUTHERAN HOUR – Aug. 12 – “Retooled” will be the theme for Rev. Gregory Seltz’ sermon.  The Lutheran Hour is broadcast on Sunday mornings at 8:30 on 105.9 FM and at 9:30 on 570 AM.
MAIN STREET LIVING – Aug. 12 – will not be broadcast this week due to the Olympics.
