The World War II Freedom Fighters Organization of the Permian Basin are putting together a series of fund raising events for a very great cause. They are raising money to send all World War II Veterans from the Permian Basin to visit the WWII War Memorial in Washington D.C. This trip will be free of charge to all WWII Veterans. If you are a WWII Veteran and would like more information about this trip you can go to www.wwiifreedom1.org or call Veteran's Services at 432-498-4015. We want to encourage any and all WWII Veterans to get in touch with this group so you can make the trip. The 1st visit is scheduled for September 2008. The Veterans will be accompanied by Youth from ECISD and the Ector County Youth Center. Anyone can make the trip but will have to cover their own costs except WWII Vet's. Please be sure to keep checking the WWII Freedom1.org website for fund raising times and dates. Luke Wells will be selling Raffle tickets to support The World War II Freedom Fighters. You can purchase a $5 ticket for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii and the new game Wii Fit; or a $10 ticket for a chance to win a 4 day trip (hotel & airfare) to Cancun, Mexico. And remember that every ticket you purchase will help this organization reach its fund raising goals.
Challenge! The ladies of the Mary Magdalene class have pledged $500 to the mortgage retirement fund and have challenged all other church groups and classes to match them. Altar Guild members needed. We need Altar Guild members to share duties for March and November. Please contact Diana to volunteer - 362-2549. We Need Your Pictures! Pastor is putting together a DVD (similar to the Memorial Day DVD) as a welcome to visitors to show all of the things that go on at LCRL. Bring your pics of activities and events to the office to be scanned in. If you get a chance please go by and see the newly refurbished Memorial Prayer Room if you have not already done so. A special thanks goes out to the Mary Magdalene Class, the LCRL Women and to everyone who has helped with this project. It truly is a beautiful room. We are always in need of volunteers around the church. There are openings in the church services teams. If you can help call Diana at 362-2549. Thanks in advance. We now have the assisted hearing devices installed in the Sanctuary. If you have been unable to hear the service this will help. Come see how they work. Thank you to James Choat for making our new kneeling bench and hearing device holders. The LCRL Youth Group is back! They will be meeting on Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m. Come enjoy music, fellowship, dinner and Bible study.
Simple
Assistance is a community outreach program which provides volunteer
services for LCRL members and friends of members of our church who cannot
do certain tasks. Worship is at 10:15 a.m. each Sunday morning and we have regular liturgy in a predominantly traditional manner using Lutheran Book of Worship. We normally have short children’s sermon/moment and partake of communion on a weekly basis. Sunday School starts at 9:00 a.m. every Sunday morning.
