This is a little early, but I need any and all articles for BOTH the July and August Hotlines submitted ASAP. I’m attempting to work ahead because my wife Georgia and I will be vacationing the last two weeks in July and the first week in August. Also, the “Thoughts that seem important” column that Pastor Tart always wrote will be retained, but I am opening it up to anyone who would like to express their thoughts or ideas. Please email them to me: dale@welcometohosanna.com

A Little Humor: Some bulletin bloopers

Don't let worry kill you - let the church help.

Thursday night - Potluck supper. Prayer and medication to follow.

Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church and community.

The rosebud on the alter this morning is to announce the birth of David Alan Belzer, the sin of Rev. and Mrs. Julius Belzer.

This afternoon there will be a meeting in the South and North ends of the church. Children will be baptized at both ends.

Tuesday at 4:00 PM there will be an ice cream social. All ladies giving milk will please come early.

Wednesday the ladies liturgy will meet. Mrs. Johnson will sing "Put me in my little bed" accompanied by the pastor.

Thursday at 5:00 PM there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All ladies wishing to be "Little Mothers" will meet with the Pastor in his study.

This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Lewis to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.
