STILL NEED SOME VOLUNTEERS FOR RECIPE ROUNDUP which is once a month at CTR-U and begins September 21 from 5:30-6:00. It will be a recipe tasting group. The theme for September is Mexican. Three volunteers will be needed to prepare one Mexican main course, side dish and dessert recipe. You will only be asked to prepare enough for everyone to have a 2-3 bite taste – not a whole serving. Recipes will be provided for those attending. This is your chance to try that new Pinterest recipe you’ve always wanted to try!! Please contact Connie Phillips at the church office or connie.phillips@ctrtulsa.org  for questions or if you’d like to volunteer.

PAINTING CLASS will be offered on September 14 during CTR-U from 5:30-6:30 in the fellowship hall. Check out the display in the narthex for details. Cost of the class is $5.00 to be collected that evening. The class is open to adults and those 6th grade students (post-confirmation) and older. Sign up today!
 
 
THE STORY BIBLE STUDY will begin September 11 and go through April. This Sunday school program is for adult, youth, and children each Sunday during this time. Wired Word and Life By His Word will continue to have their classes so adults can choose which class they would like to attend. If you are interested in taking part in The Story, you must order the books for your family no later than August 21. All the books are $5.00 for those participating in the classes. If you order after the program begins, adult, teen and kids versions will be $10 each. The little ones and children’s books will be $15 each.  Even though the sale on these items has ended, the church is continuing to subsidize the final cost of these books. If you would like to order additional copies for someone not attending the classes, please contact DCE Suzanne. IF YOUR ORDER HAS ARRIVED, IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE NARTHEX WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.
 
WORLD RELIEF SCHOOL KITS:  Only one week left to gather up donations for school kits for World Relief. There are cards at the display in the narthex with the items needed. You can do complete kits or individual items. If you have questions, please contact Lynne Kollock.
 
LWML will meet on August 23 for a LWR workday at 9:30.
 
ACOLYTE SCHEDULE is available at the south entrance. Acolytes are asked to sign up for 2-3 Sundays. The current schedule ends September 4 so please sign up as soon as possible.

MUSIC STAFF UPDATE: Continuing this fall, children’s chime choir and adult handbells will be directed by current CTR choir director, Craig Amendt.  Children’s chime choir practices will begin at their usual time on Wednesday nights with the start of CTR-U on September 7th.  We are pleased that Craig has accepted these new responsibilities seamlessly from our music director, Norma Muller, as she steps back from some of her duties in preparation for retirement, and we look forward to continuing to share in the gifts of our CTR musicians young and old.
 
COLLEGE STUDENTS: Students are encouraged to take a moment to go to www.lcms.org/lcmsu/campuslink and fill in your contact information. The site will link you to the campus ministry near your college. Parents can also log in the information for their child. If you are attending OU, you can contact Vicar Eric Bednash (tlcnormanvicar@gmail.com or 405-429-9327) for upcoming events for the new fall semester which begin August 19. 

 
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. All these items can be dropped off at the collection center at the south entrance.
