CHURCH SIGNS: “All are welcome” CTR yard sign will be available in between services this Sunday and at the CTR picnic.  You can pick one up and place in your yard. A $3 donation is suggested. 
 
You are invited to celebrate Marjorie Abel’s 100th birthday on August 13 from 1-3 pm at Montereau’s Rendezvous Lounge (6800 S Granite Ave. Tulsa 74136). Marjorie requests no gifts but welcomes cards if you are unable to attend. Simply add Apt. 430 to the above address. Marjorie is one of CTR’s charter members. Happy Birthday!!
 
24-HOUR PRAYER VIGIL: The Elders are hosting a 24-hour Prayer Vigil at CTR Friday, August 18 at 7 pm through Saturday, August 19 at 7 pm. During that time we would like to have at least two people in prayer in the sanctuary at all times. There will be an Elder present at all times during the evening and nighttime periods for security. There are signup sheets available in the narthex. We would ask people to sign up for one-hour increments of time. However, you may stay as long as you would like. There can be multiple people signed up for any of the times, so just because another person is signed up for a particular time doesn’t mean that you can’t sign up for that time also. We know that the overnight hours may be difficult for some and we certainly understand, but please sign up for some of those times if you are able. Again, there will be an Elder present at all times, so no one will ever be alone. The Prayer Vigil will conclude on Saturday with a special prayer service led by Pastor Burmeister at 6:00 PM. Everyone is invited to attend this prayer service on Saturday evening. We will provide prayer requests and other materials for everyone to use during the Prayer Vigil, if they would like. Also, we invite anyone in the congregation to submit prayer requests that can be provided to the participants. These prayer requests can be anonymous, if you choose. Please submit prayer requests to the Elders’ drawer in the volunteer office or to John Meinders at jhmeinders@cox.net
.  We pray that this will be an edifying experience for our community, the congregation and to each participant individually.
 
MITES UPDATE: LWML has reached 98.3% of the $2600 goal set for the year ending July 31. With one more Sunday and $44.47 to go we can make it!  Please consider dropping a few coins or bills in the mite box today to help LWML continue to spread the Gospel throughout the world.   Many thanks to those of you who have so generously contributed this year.

ECC NEEDS BOOKS!  The ECC is looking for books that are gently used for our school. Most of the books will be in classes with children ages 1-4 years old. Please donate age-appropriate and hardback books when possible as they wear out easily. They get lots of use! A donation box is located at the south entrance. Thanks so much!

 
GREETERS NEEDED! We are starting a new greeter schedule that will be handled by the church secretary. We are looking for 12 sets of greeters for both early and late service. There will be two sets of greeters scheduled each week (one set per north and south entrance). You will be scheduled to greet two weeks a month and twice a year. If you are currently a greeter or would like to become a greeter, please email Connie at connie.phillips@ctrtulsa.org or call the church office. She will need to know which service you prefer to greet at and your email address. She will create the schedule and email it out to everyone mid-month prior to the month you are scheduled. You will be responsible for getting a sub if you are unable to greet on the week that she schedules you for. If you have any questions, contact Connie at the office.
 

IMMANUEL LUTHERAN TRAVELERS will be going to Branson Nov. 14-16. If you are interested in going with them, check out the flyer at the south entrance. The agenda will include Miracle of Christmas at the Sight & Sound Theater, Hot Rods & High Heels, Dinner & Murder Mystery Show and a Down Home Country Show.

 
FOURTH SUNDAY FOOD DRIVE  for South Tulsa Community House is next Sunday. Drop your donations off at the north entrance.

Please help us reach our goal by making a contribution in the mite box – coins, bills, and checks (made out to LWML) are joyfully accepted and will be used to help spread the gospel by providing grants to help those in the mission field locally, nationally, and internationally. YOU can help make a difference.
 

CORNERSTONE:  There will be no newsletter in July. The next deadline will be July 15 for the August edition.

 

SOUTH TULSA COMMUNITY HOUSE:

We are in great need of just about everything “canned,” as well as other proteins such as dried beans, peanut butter, meat based soups. We also need clean and labels removed prescription bottles which we use to distribute shampoo, body wash/soap and the like. They request that you not donate any Ramon noodles.
 
COLLECTION CENTER:  Please remember to collect various ink cartridges and electronic equipment for the LWML; food and household supplies for South Tulsa Community House; various labels for ECC (check out the collection center for a list); various coupons for the military; eye glasses for MOST Ministries.
