NARTHEX FURNITURE As you probably noticed, a new coffee table and end tables have been added in the narthex along with the previously purchased sofa. Two new side chairs are on order, and should be here within three weeks. We thank the congregation, who through donations and the fundraisers put on by the LWML, were able to purchase these items. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
FLU SHOTS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN You can get flu shots here at GSLC next Sunday. Teri K., with McCune Brooks Hospital, will be offering the vaccine for $18.00; there is no charge if you are on Medicare. Everyone will need to show identification and those on Medicare will need to have their card. Teri will be available in the nurse’s office to administer the shots during the Sunday School hour and after the late service.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex. Tapes of the previous Sunday are also available.
