40 Day Prayer Campaign for Life

Sept. 26 – Nov. 4

We will be joining people of faith across our nation to pray to end abortion and to fight physician-assisted suicide during the “40 Day Prayer Campaign for Life”.  This will take place from Sept. 26 to Nov. 4.   Come to the church for an hour or more of individual prayer on September 29^th from 8am – 5pm.  There is a sign up sheet on the table in the narthex.

 

Quilt Raffle For Lutheran Care Center – $1 per ticket or 6 for $5.  Tickets can be purchased at the Lutheran Care Center or from Sharen Wolke.  The drawing will be held during the Lutheran Care Center auction on November 3, 2018

 

The Jan 1 2019 Rose Parade will be witnessed by millions on TV and along the parade route in Pasadena California. Each year, Lutheran Layman’s League  sponsors the only religious float in that parade. The theme this year is Joy to the World the Lord is Come. The mission of the Lutheran Hour Float Committee of the Southern California District of the International Lutheran Laymen's League is to provide a Christian witness and the message of hope in Jesus Christ, to the unchurched, who view the float in person or through other media. The project relies solely on the generous support of our many Christian friends. The cost to enter the only Christian float in the Rose Parade is NOT budgeted by Lutheran Hour Ministries, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod or any other Lutheran organization. It is totally self-funded by volunteers with NO salaried staff. 

You may DONATE on line at https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E152411&id=3 or mail your gift to: The Lutheran Hour Float Committee, PO Box 20044, Riverside CA 92516-0044.

Life Quote

September 23 “Are you afraid of commitment and ‘belonging’ to other people? Relax. It’s how your Creator designed you. When you call a sick friend, send a card, congratulate an achiever, encourage a drooper, pursue a stray, or teach a child, you will feel a satisfaction in your heart that not even the devil can steal.” Rev. Mark Jeske, Time of Grace – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
