Hosts for upcoming coffee hours are needed. This Sunday, July 23 and all Sundays in August are open. If you can host this Sunday call or email the church office so we can put your name on the hosting board in fellowship hall. Clothing in the lounge. A variety of jackets, hats and other winter apparel are on a clothes rack in the lounge. If any item is yours, please take it home. All clothing still on the rack by Labor Day (September 4) will be donated to charity. Women's Book Group's 2017 Summer pick is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. As the publisher describes the book, "In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery." The group will meet for discussion on Thursday, September 22, at Bebsie Jensen's home. All are welcomed. The Sunshine Book for August will be kept by Joyce Schiffert. July Mission of the Month: Lutheran Day Nursery and Early Childhood Center. Since 1911, the people at Lutheran Day Nursery and Early Childhood Center have provided high quality childcare services and early childhood education at affordable rates to families in the Logan Square, West-town, and Humboldt Park communities of Chicago. As a non-profit organization serving at-risk children and families, the Lutheran Day Nursery depends on the generous contributions of its partners to fulfill its mission. Learn more at http://www.lutherandaynursery.org. To give to the Mission of the Month, place your gift in a separate offering envelope. Checks may be made out to United Lutheran Church, with the organization and your envelope number noted on the memo line. |
