FROM THE ELDERS
Everyone’s cooperation is needed to establish the appropriate atmosphere for our Worship Services. Listen for the Pre-service Music . When you hear it begin, stop visiting and talking, take a seat, and use the time preceding the Worship Service for contemplation and prayer. This will benefit all in our congregation.
FOOD MINISTRY DONATIONS REQUESTED
Lamb of God is accepting donations of food to be given to the food ministry of Lutheran Church of the Pines. A container will be placed in the Narthex for your donations.
The very successful partnership with this congregation at Thanksgiving and Christmas encourages us to continue assisting with their very active ministry.
RESOURCES AVAILABLE
The tall bookcase on the right in the Fellowship Hall is packed with resource materials which are useful in your daily life. There are books, prayer aids,, cd’s and much more. Please feel free to help yourself.
BULLETIN ITEMS

SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING BEING COLLECTED
Children attending Sunday School are being given the opportunity to learn and to grow their Christian faith through the weekly giving of an offering which will be collected and used by the Sunday School Staff for evangelism or outreach programs.

DO YOU CARE?
Then the CARE Ministry Committee needs you. We are looking to add members to the committee to help meet the needs of our congregational members. We are in need of people to help provide food and/or help set up and tear down for funeral gatherings. If you are one of our many members who have helped the committee in the past, please know that we thank you and really appreciate your help. We hope you will officially sign up for the committee so we will know that you want to continue to help us. If you haven’t helped in the past, maybe no one has asked you…we are asking you now. If you would like to help, please sign-up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board in the Narthex. If you have questions, please contact Tricia Remond at careministry_log@bellsouth.net or (985-639-9178).
PLEASE NOTE:
We now have a Sunday School Class for preschoolers and kindergartners. Leader Mary Landry tailors the week’s lesson to the very young child with special activities and stories "just for them." If you have a child or grandchild who aged 3, 4, or 5, please consider bringing him/her on Sundays.
SUNDAY MORNING FELLOWSHIP
Treats - The Morning Fellowship Sign-up Sheet is posted in the foyer. Participation is always needed. Treats, whether home made or store bought are welcome. And, if you are scheduled, remember to call Dan or Mary Landry (985.649.6572) if you cannot help. Coffee - Volunteers are needed to prepare the coffee. This can be done anytime prior to church on Sunday morning. Please contact the Landrys (985.649.6572) if you have questions or you are interested in helping.
RECYCLE BIN BENEFITS YOUTH
Revenue generated through the newspaper recycle program is dedicated to the Senior and Junior Youth Funds. This money helps defray some of the expenses of participation in various activities. You can help the Youth Programs by saving and depositing old newspapers in the bin.
VIAL OF LIFE
Our Care Ministry Committee is working with Fire Protection District No. 1 to distribute Vials of Life. These are small plastic bottles which are to be filled with a written medical history (form supplied) for each member of the household. The vial is then stored in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator and a fridge magnet (which is also included) should be displayed to indicate that the vial is in the freezer. Emergency response personnel are trained to look for the vial which will help them treat the patient properly.
Gwen Traina has a supply of these vials. Ask her for one or contact her at 985.641.3077.
BLOOD DONATIONS FOR DANIEL MOLINARY REQUESTED
Please don’t forget. Donations of blood and platelets are being requested by the Molinary Family for son Daniel.
Donations must be made through the Blood Center. There are several locations. Please see the notice on the board in the Narthex for additional information.
CONGREGATION HELP AVAILABLE BUT INFORMATION NEEDED
Pastor and the Elders are a great resource for spiritual support and counsel. They stand ready to visit with members and friends who are ill, shut-in, have been hospitalized, or would otherwise benefit from a visit, but they need to know who these members are.
Our Care Committee is also in need of information about those who would benefit from a card, telephone call, or perhaps a meal.
Contact Pastor, an Elder or the church office if you would like to avail yourself of these services or if you know of a member in need.
BECAUSE YOU ASKED
Please note that the Church Office is staffed from 9:00 A.M. until 1 P.M. weekdays. Messages received after 1:00 P.M. will be returned the next work day.
