NEW CHURCH DIRECTORY—ALL DEADLINES TODAY, SEPTEMBER 24:

Sunday, September 24, is the last opportunity to verify your contact information for the church directory. Please take a moment to double-check your contact information in the foyer. There will be pages, sorted alphabetically, with everyone’s information as it will be listed in the directory. If there are corrections needed, please write them legibly beside your information. If your information is all correct, please place a check mark beside your name.
Sunday, September 24, is the deadline to submit a “selfie” style photograph to be included in the new directory. We ask families to consider submitting a $20 contribution; as this is the fee the directory company will charge the church to add photos. If your photograph is copyrighted (done by a professional photography company) we will require a written copyright release for your photo. You may drop off photos in the church office mailbox, or email them to: wecare@splcwaco.com
FREE 8X10 PHOTOS were shipped to the church office for those who did purchase any of their portraits through the Re:Member Directory company. You may pick your photos in the church foyer this morning or church office during office hours.

If you have any questions, please see Lana Harrington or call the church office.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2023 HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS LWML SUNDAY: The Lutheran Women in Mission invite the entire congregation to celebrate together as the Body of Christ under the theme, “The King is Coming” authored by Rev. Dr. Roosevelt Gray, LCMS Black Ministry Director. Join us and learn how the Lord has worked through Lutheran Women in Mission to bring the lost and the erring into fellowship with Him through mission and ministry. Please turn in the contents of your mite box. Please place your donation in the display located in the church foyer. We suggest that you place your donations in a Ziploc bag.
