LEAVING ITEMS AT SECOND CHANCE:  Drop-off time at the Donations Building , for most items, is 8:00 A.M. – 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday.  Please do not leave mattresses unattended, then, or at any other time.  State regulations mandate guidelines for donated mattresses; therefore, all donated mattresses must first be checked by the Shop Directors!  Acceptable mattresses must be clean (no rips or stains) and must be under 10 years old.  Since the Shop Directors are NOT on site after 5:00 P.M. on weekdays, on Saturdays and Sundays, mattresses may NOT be left on those days.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

THE RELAY FOR LIFE LUMINARIA ORDER FORMS are available in the narthex.  Every candle will have the name of a survivor or the name of a person who has lost their battle with cancer.  The luminaria represents the light of hope all cancer patients share.  All donated luminarias will be placed around the track at the La Grange Football Stadium during the Relay for Life on Saturday, September 18th.

Beginning Thursday, September 9, Wendy Kruse will work with our kindergarten-third grade students as we start a CHIMES CHOIR.  Children from the after -school program and  Sunday School are  invited to meet in the multipurpose room at 4:30 PM each Thursday for a thirty minute practice.  Plans are to perform  twice in December and then again in the spring.  For more information, contact either Wendy Kruse or Janice Teinert.

Bill and Marilyn Trlica wishes to PRAISE THE LORD in thankfulness for the 58 years of marriage which they celebrated on Tuesday, August 31st.

CHRISTIAN LIFE: Philemon 1-21: Since Philemon was indebted to Paul, he could have ordered him to do the right thing and treat his runaway slave like a brother, but Paul wanted Philemon to do the right thing from his own free will.  Likewise, we are indebted to God for all the blessings He has showered upon us; God could demand that we give freely of our time, abilities and financial resources, but He loves cheerful givers!

LIFE QUOTES:  “We cannot rely on worldly institutions to fight our battles for us.  Christians have been called to be hope and light to a fallen generation; so let’s speak God’s truth in love and care for the most vulnerable in our churches and society.  May God bless your efforts to really make a difference!” Diane E. Schroeder, president of Lutherans For Life. This “Life Quote” is from Lutherans For Life – www.lutheransforlife.org.

WE CAN BE THANKFUL FOR HOPE.  NO MATTER HOW DIRE OUR SITUATION, HOPE IS STILL WITHIN REACH.
