The discussion is lively and insightful for all. See Linda Auther (

THE FLOOD: We continue to pray for all those affected by the devastation of the flood waters. So many of our friends and neighbors, as well as our members, lost many special items and possessions. Much has been lost in our community. One resource in First Lutheran Church is a group of Stephen Ministers who are trained to help when loses have occurred.

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 7th at 6:30 pm; cost will be only $50 per family for members.

OUR FIRST LUTHERAN FAMILY would like to thank a special non-member, Mrs. Gay Spain. Gay has contributed her time and talents to help maintain an important piece of our Chapel communion services. The original cloth had been a part of our services for many, many years and had completely worn through in places; however the crocheted cross emblem was in good shape. Gay has one of the only old hemstitching machines in the entire state (the original cloth was hemstitched) and was able to reproduce the original look. We were also able to apply the original cross to the new cloth. Gay graciously donated her services for this task, and I am listing below her address so that if anyone cares to send a "thank you" to her personally, you have it. Mrs. Gay Spain, 2609 Meador Rd., Greenbrier, TN 37073-4916
