LWML will have a meeting on Sunday October 7th after the late service. One of the topics will be the Fall Event being held at Faith Lutheran Plano on October 21st. The Congregation approved the Sanctuary Facelift Committee’s recommendations. The pews have been ordered. When the delivery date gets closer you will start to see the changes in the sanctuary. For those that are not aware, we have a member that donated the funds to update the sanctuary. We are truly blessed as a congregation! Bulletin Board Photos Jane & Gorlyn Bronstad will be taking photos of our members until the end of September. If your photo is not on the board, or if you want to update your photo, come to the Grace Library (at back of Fellowship Hall) after early or late service and have your picture taken! If you have a photo that you want to use, we can scan it and print it for the bulletin board.
