“Healer of Our Every Ill”
Welcome toFirst Lutheran Church. We ask everyone to complete the “Footprints” and list if you are communing or have a prayer request. All baptized Christians who understand that Christ is truly present in the bread and wine are welcome to join us for Holy Communion. Wheat-free/gluten-free communion wafers are available on the Pulpit (left) side of the aisle during communion. Grape juice is available on both sides. We ask that you “think green” and place blank “Footprints” forms in the narthex to be reused.
THE FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR are given to the glory of God by Erika Cunningham and Maria Schell.
PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED for Goldie, Jack, Pastor Paul, Renee, Rob, Janet Baker, Amber Berger, Don & Carol Bridinger, Mary Clayton, Micah Fultz, KC Goety, Susan Hamilton, Tim Hamilton, June Karako, Richard Kelly, Clay Lewis, Brad May, Laverne Musselman, Jerry Orians, Ned Pahl, Wesley Rodman, Shirley Ruehle, Bob Schriner, Gary Taylor, Bill Waxler, and Riad Yammine. Prayers are also requested for establishing church volunteers, the family of Katie Wertz, the unemployed, those serving in the Armed Forces (Anthony, Caleb, Christopher, Hugh, Jeremy, John, Josh, Justin, Ken, Matt, and Nick), and all who mourn the loss of loved ones. Requests are listed for four weeks in duration. Feel free to renew your prayer request whenever necessary.
