TODAY'S ALTAR FLOWERS have been given in loving memory of  Mary Louise Schroer by her family.  Mary Louise went to her heavenly home 10 years ago this Tuesday, August 26.

 

SEPTEMBER CALENDAR AND NEWS ITEMS need to be submitted to Becky by TOMORROW.

 

LADIES AID MEMBERS are reminded of their Bible study and meeting this Wednesday, August 27, at 9:00 AM, followed by working on items for the upcoming Bazaar.

 

THRIVENT MEMBERS:  We will have a BRIEF meeting in the back rows of church next Sunday, August 31, to update everyone on how the Thrivent Choice funds have been put to use for the school and the church and to gather member input for use of these funds as we move forward.  Please plan to attend.  Thank you!

 

LADIES BIBLE STUDY- FOOD FOR BODY AND SOUL:  Jean Jack will be hosting a 9 session Bible study for ladies on Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 PM in the Fellowship Room, beginning on September 3.  We are called to be daughters and wives, sisters and friends, mothers and grandmas, volunteers, employees, citizens, and leaders.  Golden Fruit is a study that puts these roles into perspective.  Contact Jean Jack at jjack@whitecreek.org or 714-768-5731 for more information.  A dinner salad will be served to nourish the body as we study God's Word to nourish the soul.
