Our Altar Painting is Getting a Face Lift
The "Restoration for the altar painting"
Committee is HAPPY to report that they have
commissioned Steve Maker and Harvey Freer
of the Uncultured Pearl (shop located in the
Pearl District) to restore our 95 year old "Christ
in Gethsemane" altar painting. They will begin
the project on Monday Oct. 5 and plan on
completing it on Friday, Oct. 9! The painting
WILL be restored on site! Details are
displayed on the bulletin board downstairs in
the Fellowship Hall.
The Memorial Fund has the money that was
designated ten years ago for this project. If you
have any questions or wish to thank someone
for their time spent on this project just contact
the Altar Painting Restoration Committee
members Larry and Sue Lucas (original
committee members from 2005), Pam
Heimuller (recommended the names of Steve
and Harvey), Angela Boatfield, Tracey Barker,
and Barb Topham.

CAP Bowlers
Our August CAP (Christians at Play)
resulted in a small, but MIGHTY turn
out! Pat Lange was our cheering fan
as Mary Trapp, Ron Peterson, and
Pastor heated up their personal
bowling balls. Barb T kept her 45
year old average of 73!
There is potential of a Bethany team.
See Mary Trapp if interested!!!
In Case Youre Wondering
Services are now split between
traditional and alternative formats.
Sundays 1-3-5 will be traditional with
communion at the altar, and Sundays 2-4
will be alternative with intinction
communion.
Thank you,
Nancy Conner
