We welcome all to worship at First Lutheran as we celebrate the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost. This Sunday Pastor Tucker O’Leary will share the message from Matthew 16: 21-28. There is one service at 9:30 a.m. Holy Communion is served, and after the children’s sermon, they will help the Pastor share the Peace. Diane Adler will provide special music, playing a flugelhorn solo, I Need Thee Every Hour, by Robert Lowry.

Requests for the Blessing Basket, the Lutheran Food Pantry at St. John’s Findlay, are tooth paste, boxed sides, canned pasta, saltines, small containers of laundry soap, and shampoo. These items can be placed in the cart in the hallway or dropped off at the Food Pantry Tuesdays 11- 2 p.m. Pastor Tucker leads a 15 minute midday prayer service at 11:30 am, Monday through Thursday in the Chapel, for members and people of our community to sit and refocus their day with personal prayer. Holy Communion will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday and a short Healing Service will be available on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday September 1, the church book club will meet in the lounge at 7:00 p.m. to discuss this month’s selection, The Spy and the Seamstress, by Scott M. Smith.
