LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES OUTREACH BOOKLETS \u00a0Please check out the new assortment of Lutheran Hour Booklets located in the narthex. \u00a0There is a variety of topics for personal use or to give out to family, friends, and co-workers, that points us all to Christ and his endless love, no matter what the situation my be. \u00a0A booklet entitled, How to Share Christ Confidently, is also available. \u00a0Let Your Light Shine, and Reach Out!<\/div>\n

JOY COMES IN PAIRS \u00a0In light of the necessities of life, walking barefoot may seem minor, but for millions of children around the world their bare feet are subjected to infections that can lead to crippling consequences, disease and even death. \u00a0The Sunday School offerings, now through to the end of the year, will go to help purchase and send pairs of clog type, all-terrain shoes to children in need worldwide. \u00a0This project is a division of Life Outreach International.<\/div>\n
PRESERVING THE BEAUTY \u00a0We ask that you help us to preserve and maintain our facility, such as closely monitoring snacks given to children in the sanctuary, being careful not to mar or scratch the floors when moving tables and chairs, keeping food in the kitchen or Fellowship Hall, and seeing that your disposable cups, glasses, etc. are empty before you put them in the trash. \u00a0Together, we can preserve the beauty of our church, the Fellowship Hall and classrooms. \u00a0Thank you for helping us keep our church clean.<\/div>\n
BLOOD PRESSURE \u00a0The opportunity to have your blood pressure taken and recorded after each service is still available. \u00a0We have moved the site to the nurse\u2019s office located off the narthex. \u00a0You will be given a card to carry with you to record your readings.<\/div>\n
ASSISTIVE LISTENING \u00a0If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. \u00a0They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.<\/div>\n
