SUNDAY MORNING
BIBLE
CLASS
“Great
Chapters of the Bible” is the current series of
studies during Sundays of August – 9:30 AM in the
Fellowship Hall. We have expounded the “Servant
Chapter” from Isaiah, and will continue with the
great “Faith Chapter,” Hebrews chapter 11. Next
month, September, Prof. Tom Egger from Concordia
Seminary will host a series of Sunday morning
classes, titled, “Psalms for Today.”
COLLEGE BOUND
We pray God’s richest blessings of protection and
peace as our children and grandchildren leave for
college. Please let the church office, 314-993-1834,
know where they are going. We wish to place them on
a mailing list, pray for them and encourage them in
their endeavors.
NEED A RIDE?
Members who are having problems that keep them from
attending the Church Service of choice are asked to
call the Church Office. Sue will take the
information and a member will contact you to help
you be more specific in what each member needs. Some
may need transportation and others may wish to be a
part of our phone service that brings the service to
your home. We will want to know how we can contact.
It will take just a few minutes to help solve your
problem. Call daily between 9:00 & 4:00. If there is
not an immediate answer, please leave a message with
a call back number, as Sue is frequently taking
calls from other members. Let us help you!
WORSHIP MUSIC
Do the adult choir and handbell
choir make a meaningful contribution to worship
services service at Village Lutheran? If you
responded in the positive, we look forward to your
positive response to our request for willing
participants in both groups. A bell choir requires a
minimum of 6 people to make a commitment to play
bells and come regularly to rehearsals. Beginners
are welcome. If the adult choir
is to sing in 3 or 4 parts, at
least 8-10 singers are needed. Please tell Judy
Berger of your willingness to participate in either
or both choirs either after a church service, or
call 997-6911 or email
jhanddo@aol.com
Watch the Sunday bulletins for more information for
rehearsal times and dates. Judy Berger, Director of
Music
