August 10 Weekly News


EVERYONE IS INVITED to stay after church today for our annual picnic.  We will gather on the north side of school.  Many thanks to those who helped/donated to this event!

 

THE ORGAN DEDICATION AND RECITAL will be held after the picnic at 1:00 PM.  A hymn sing will be held with accompaniment by John Matthews, Director of Music at Grace Lutheran, followed by special musical selections played by Ed Bruenjes, Music Director at Asbury United Methodist Church and restorer of our organ.  Everyone invited.

 

SENIOR LEAGUE MEMBERS will gather at 5:30 PM next Sunday at Bob Evans restaurant for supper and then return to the Fellowship Room for their monthly meeting and socializing.  Guests are always welcome to join them!

 

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.

 

MANY THANKS TO those who have helped weed, trim, clean, wash (and anything else!) around the church and school grounds.  All the help is greatly appreciated!

 

SMORGASBORD/BAZAAR:  Our Annual Smorgasbord/Bazaar is coming up on Saturday, September 20.  Sign-up sheets for help and donations will be available today in the Fellowship Room during the picnic.  A "Second Time Around" table will again be featured at the Bazaar for good used items (no clothes, please), so keep that in mind when cleaning out those closets and drawers!

 

WELCOME TO Micah & Monica Buss, who have joined/rejoined us in church membership!  It is a blessing to have them back on our membership roll!
