GSLC BAND, RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS — any instrument, any age, any playing level.  Dust off those instruments you haven’t played in years, and come join us.  Karen promises the youth will go easy on you.  New music is on the way, and we need lots of instruments to make it sound really good.  Practices have resumed and are on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.  Questions?  Contact Karen M.

SATURDAY LUNCHES  There are several opportunities to help with furnishing a light lunch on Saturday to the workers through the end of September.  We’ve made it so, if you choose, up to three families can share in this responsibility per date.  Just pick a Saturday and sign your name and phone number.  Your willingness is greatly appreciated. 

TAPES OF THE SERVICE  Audio tapes of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday.  They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.  Tapes of the previous Sunday are also available.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING  If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers.  They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
