4th OF JULY PARKING

The Livermore Police Department has informed us that we will not be able to exit onto South Livermore Avenue between 9 and 10 p.m.  The street will be blocked for exiting so don’t be in a hurry to leave after the fireworks.  And most of all – “Be Patient!”

 

4th OF JULY OUTREACH TO OUR GUESTS  Our Savior has printed up a number of “welcome” cards for use at the 4th of July Celebration here on our campus.  We expect some 400+ people to be with us that evening and would like to make them feel welcome and share information about OSLM with our guests.  Please see Steve Christopher in the back of church this morning to get your set of friendship cards.

 

PARKING PASS ATTENDANTS NEEDED for our 4th of July Celebration on Tuesday from 4 -9 p.m.  If you could work an hour shift checking folks as they come to park, that would be very helpful!  Check with Steve Christopher after church today, or call the church office tomorrow, 447-1246.

 

Just a reminder that beginning today, all contributions to the Brick by Brick program as well as contributions to the Ministry Center will be combined into the Building Up – Reaching Out building and loan repayment account.

 

BLOOD PRESSURE reading in the Family Room after church this morning.

 

 

WILLING HANDS tomorrow from 9 a.m. until noon.  Anyone who has some time available and would like to help with keeping our facility clean and neat is welcome.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

CALLING WOMEN WHO LIKE TO SING!  Any girl or woman, junior high age or older, is invited to participate in a treble ensemble in July.  Two short rehearsals will be on Mondays, July 10 and July 17, from 7 – 8 p.m.  We will sing in worship service on July 23.  This is a great time to make a short commitment to giving praise to God.

TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE KITCHEN, AGAIN!   If you have left pots, pans, dishes, etc. in the kitchen, please claim them and take them home.  Many thanks!

 

 

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the friends at Our Savior for their thoughts and prayers during Margret’s recent bout with cancer. 

Our sincerest thanks to you all for your support and the many get-well wishes we received.            God bless you.

                   Margret and Rudy Bauer
