Welcome to LCI!
We are glad you are worshipping with us this morning. If you are a visitor and have any questions or
need assistance, feel free to ask one of the ushers or anyone seated near you. Please take a moment to
fill in the Friendship Folder when it is passed down the row. Check any boxes that apply and return it
to the center aisle. We look forward to getting to know you!
We extend a special welcome to families with young children. We hope your worship experience at
LCI will be meaningful for all members of your family. There are blue craft bags, filled with
activities to keep kids engaged, available in the entry of the sanctuary. Also, children who have been
receiving Communion at another church are welcome to do so at LCI. Please have them hold out
their hands when it is time to be served. If you would like your children to start receiving
Communion, contact Pastor Dan. Finally, nursery care is available for children under the age of 6.
The nursery is located in the portable trailer in the parking lot.
And a warm welcome to UCD students! We are happy you are worshipping with us today and hope
you will make us your church home. Be sure to visit your Lutheran Episcopal Campus Ministry at
UCD. It sponsors a number of events at The Belfry (216 A Street).

Our Shared Life and Ministry
October’s Monthly Ministry Partner (MMP)
is Lutheran Social Services
Lutheran
Social
Services
of
Northern
California, responding to the biblical mandates
of compassion and justice, affirms the inherent
worth of all people and strives to prevent and
alleviate human suffering. Our services are provided to the
most vulnerable and hardest to serve - the chronically
homeless, the disabled, low-income families, people with
AIDS, the elderly, former foster youth and other at-risk
populations. Supportive services include case management
and living skills assistance, mental health and substance
abuse recovery services, benefits and money management
counseling, employment and educational support, and
health access.
Our goal is to maintain individuals and families in housing,
help them to find employment and become self-sufficient.
And we succeed! Many of our programs have a 100%
housing retention rate after one year, which is one of our
benchmarks. LSS changes lives every day!
Facility Hosts Needed
If you would like to be a part of the Sunday morning
experience and greet members and friends as they come
onto the property during construction, we can use your
help! To spread the duties out a bit we need a few more
volunteers to help in all areas. Before first service (8:10 to
8:30), after second and while Sunday School is beginning
(9:20 to 9:40) and before second service (10:10 to 10:30).
If you aren’t already helping and are interested in helping,
please contact Debbie & Peter Kennedy by email at
ptkdkk@gmail.com or call them at (530) 756-8812.
Stewardship Program
This year’s Stewardship program begins today, with the
theme “With Joy and Thanksgiving”. Please watch your

Guest Pastor Ron Zoesch will speak on the topic of
stewardship, and Estimate of Giving cards will be gathered
at both services. With all of the exciting things going on
around us at LCI, this will be a great time to reflect on
God’s blessings, with joy and thanksgiving.
Belfry Dinners Needed
Worship and Service is looking for volunteers to bring
dinners to the Belfry on Wednesday, October 15. There
