† THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY The Thursday morning Bible Study and Fellowship group has just finished studying the book of Exodus. The next topic they will discuss is the book of Matthew. If you are free on Thursday mornings at 10:00 am, please come and join the group. Now would be the perfect time to start!
† THE ANNUAL MEN’S FISHING/CAMPOUT Mark the date on your calendar, the men’s fishing/campout will be held October 4th at Dale’s Fish’n Hole. There are maps and a sign-up sheet in the narthex.
† ALTAR GUILD The Altar Guild could use more people to assist them with Sunday morning Communion setup. If this is something that you would be able to help out with, please mention it to Janet Chambers or contact the church office, 358-1325. Many hands make light work.
† LUTHERAN STUDY BIBLES The Christian Ed Committee has heard some interest from a few of our Sunday School teachers and others interested in purchasing Lutheran Study Bibles. To help with the cost of the shipping and get a small discount, GSLC has ordered some Lutheran Study Bibles that we will be offering to the congregation for purchase. The cost of these Bibles will be $40.00. If you are interested in purchasing a Bible, please contact the church office, 358-1325.
† PORTALS OF PRAYER The new Portals of Prayer for the Fall are on the table by the nursery in the narthex.
† NURSERY/CRY ROOM Should your child become distressed or distract others during the service, a furnished nursery/cry room is located in the narthex for your use. Please ask one of the ushers if you need directions.
† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.
† BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the nurse’s office after the service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
† 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.
