BUDGET?!?! YUCK! Don’t you just hate that word? Does it make you want to face a firing squad instead doing a budget? Is there too much month left at the end of the money? 70 % of American’s live paycheck to paycheck regardless of income. First Lutheran Church will be holding Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University 13 week class to teach you how to get control over your money and tell your money what to do. We want to help you to stop struggling to make ends meet and change your family’s future. There will be a free preview class on Wednesday, August 18th at 6:30 pm for a sneak peak at what’s to come. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 8th at 6:30 pm; cost will be only $50 per family for members.

PRAYER CHAIN - For years First Lutheran has utilized the telephone to get word around about those in need of prayer. Last year we took the step into fast mass communication by starting an email Prayer Chain. With the touch of the SEND button, all those on the email prayer chain list instantly received an email with a request for prayer. Somehow we lost our good old telephone prayer chain. Here is the good news: Along with the email prayer chain, the telephone chain is back. Christy Biles

sends the emails and will make one call to Joan Cullum (phone 356-0505) and share the same prayer request for phone distribution. So if you do not have a computer, you can still be informed of request and pray. Call Joan to get on the telephone prayer chain list. Thanks Joan for rekindling this ministry arm.

WE PROVIDE A NURSERY EACH SUNDAY FROM 8:00 AM – NOON. Children who have not reached their 5th birthday are invited to enjoy the nursery with our nursery attendants Ms. Megan, Ms. Frances, and other volunteers each Sunday. Please fill out a name tag each week for your child.

FREE PARKING for Sunday morning worship and Sunday School is available at the corner of McGavock Street and 8th avenue next to the Credit Union building.

COME LIVE LIFE!
