SEVENTEENTH
SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST SEPTEMBER 7, 2008
WELCOME Visitors- we
are happy that you’ve joined us for worship today and we extend
to you a warm and heartfelt welcome! If you haven’t received a welcoming
folder, please pick one up from the table by the organ. May the Lord bless your worship with us. We also ask our visitors to please read &
complete the yellow tri-fold located in the hymnal rack and sign the Guest
Book. Thank you!
PREPARATION As you wait
for the worship service to begin, instead of visiting with someone in a pew
near you, you may want to prepare yourself for worship by reading a section of
Scripture and/or by saying a prayer. The
following prayer is one suggestion...
“Good
and gracious God, you have compassion for the sinner, as a father has
compassion for his children. Forgive the
sins of your people, heal our weaknesses, and crown our lives with your love,
that with all the saints and angels we may glorify you, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, now and forever.” Additional prayers can be located on
pages 10 & 11 and 134-139 in the front part of the hymnal.

LARGE
PRINT The
office secretary is still making up 3 Large Print Worship Folders (which
includes bulletin, liturgy, and hymns) for the Sunday Worship Services. If this is something that will assist you in
worship, please pick up a folder (and then return when finished) from the table
by the organ.
SCRIP Haven’t purchased Scrip/Gift Certificates yet? They can be used just like cash - with a
percentage of the sales benefiting Arizona Lutheran Academy. Someone will be at
the small
table in the Narthex to assist you.
BUSINESS
CARDS If
you’re looking for someone to perform some general labor or yard work, pick up
a business card from the Narthex bulletin board.
THRIFT
SHOP Another innovative way to support
Arizona Lutheran Academy is by setting aside unused clothing and/or house-hold
items for the ALA Thrift Shop. Classroom
#1 has been set up as a collection center and is ready to receive these items
(put your items inside the white lines).
Someone, in turn, will deliver them to the ALA Thrift Shop. Not only will your donation help the less
fortunate, you’ll also earn a rebate!
