Fourth of July Rest Stop at First Lutheran
If you and your family will be attending the Bothell 4th of July Parade, please stop by the church if you need a break! The narthex and rest rooms will be open to the public from 10:30 am to about 2:30 pm. We'll also have ice water, lemonade and cookies on hand. This is a wonderful opportunity to show hospitality to our neighbors.
Nora Strothman is organizing this event. If you would like to help, please give her a call.

Pastor Berg's Message
Grace
As we finish our series on 2 Corinthians it is appropriate to end unpacking what Paul means when he speaks about Charis. It is an important word.
It occurs in the New Testament over 170 times.
For the most part it is a word that is translated as GRACE.
In our everyday usage we use this word to denote smooth actions - she is a graceful dancer. To describe how someone behaves politely in social situations - He treats everyone with grace. In our language, the word grace does not carry with it the import that scripture gives it. And so we may not take it seriously.

All Lost and Found items will be in the narthex until July 17 for you to easily claim. Any remaining items will be donated on July 18.
