This Sunday (7/6): "Seeing As God Sees" (Romans 7:24-25) Are you worried about how you look to others? Today's LH message says God is concerned about your looks as well. Listen and see how God sees. Next Sunday (7/13): "The Agony of Defeat" (Romans 8:15) Christ came to move us forward, not backward. If you feel you're going in the wrong direction, listen to today's The Lutheran Hour message.

VISITS WITH THE DREWS’ FAMILY – You may think that Pastor knows all of you but there is still a lot he doesn’t know about you. That’s why Pastor Drews, Melanie and Grace are continuing visits with the Drews’ Family. Call Pastor’s home (792-5120) to set up a time to visit. We hope to see you all soon. The Drews Family - Mark, Melanie & Grace Attention Ushers & Acolytes - Due to the addition of a Thursday evening Worship service during the summer there is the additional need for your services. If you are scheduled to usher or acolyte on a Sunday morning, you are also responsible for ushering or acolyting at the following Thursday’s service.
Whether you are 4 or 104, Camp CILCA is the place for you! Be a part of the exciting things going on! Not only do they have summer camp for kids but a variety of specialty camps and retreats throughout the year. Now is the time to start thinking about summer camp. You can even receive an Early Bird Discount for paying for some camps in full by February 28th! Camp CILCA summer camp brochures can be found in the racks in the church entry and in the wing or you can go to www.cilca.org for info on any of their activities. PTL COOKBOOKS - There are 600 delicious recipes in each book! Only $10.00 each!! Proceeds benefit Zion P.T.L. Available in the church office. SERMONS AVAILABLE – From time to time a parishioner may ask for a printed copy of Pastor Drews’ sermon. Pastor makes copies for the students in his catechism class and also a few extra so his sermon is already available in print each week. Look for the holder on the wall next to the flower chart. Hopefully this location will be more convenient for all. YOU CAN RECYCLE YOUR OLD Portals of Prayers and Bibles. There is a collection box in the wing where you can recycle your old Portals of Prayer and Bibles that are in good condition. The Naomi-Ruth Society will be gathering these materials to give to a mission that sends them overseas.
