Directors and served in that capacity until her death. Lee

YOUTH GROUP SERVICE PROJECT

Nine members of our wonderful youth group gave up a Saturday morning in July to stain

and seal Eddie Wilt's fence. For them we give thanks!

If you would like the youth to come help you around the house or yard, or if you have any

other small job, please call Jenny in the church office or Becky Meeks, our youth director.

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted

and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what

is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ

that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE FOR OUR FOSTER CHILDREN:

It’s that time of year again! We are teaming again with Gloria Dei to gather

school supplies for our local foster children. A collection box will be placed in

the Narthex. Most office supply stores have a list of school supplies for all the

grades; also this year, the older children will need flash drives. For those who

would like to help with flash drives, we are suggesting that a check be made

payable to Upbring and indicate it is for Lubbock foster/school supply drive.

The office staff will purchase these flash drives and make them available to

our older foster children. Any extra monies will be used to purchase

backpacks. (Remember that Upbring is the new Lutheran Social Services of

the South.) Please give the checks to Mary Lee Franklin or Jenny in the church

office. Our drive will last through the first Sunday in August. Questions? Call

Mary Lee Franklin at 795-4445. Thank you for the support you so generously

give our local foster children!

There will be a meeting Sunday, August 30th, after

church for all parents of children, Pre-K to high

school. All suggestions, ideas, and comments for

Sunday School for the 2015-2016 school year will

be discussed.

Please call

Vicki Sweetman,

806-438-8913 with

questions or if childcare

is needed.
