Sunday 11/2
A Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
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!
Next Week is Commitment Sunday
This year’s Stewardship theme is “With Joy and
Thanksgiving.” In temple talks this month, fellow members
of the congregation have discussed what stewardship and
LCI mean to them. In prayerful consideration of your
stewardship response this year, please consider what LCI
means to you. On November 2, Estimate of Giving cards
will be received at both services. The importance of making
this commitment is that it puts God first in our plans, which
allows our relationship with God to flourish, and gives us
perspective on our relationship with money. And, it
supports the mission of LCI, to Share Christ's Light Daily. If
your stewardship packet, including your estimate of giving
card, did not reach you by mail, please see Dave Kukis
after church, or contact him at dave.kukis.gmail.com.
November 2 Commitment Sunday Events:
 Guest Pastor Ron Zoesch
 Estimate of Giving cards received at both services
 Coffee and Cookie Celebration after each service
Scrip Cards
If you shop at Nugget or Food 4 Less, please consider using
a Scrip card, which donates 4% of your purchase amount to
a local non-profit organization of your choice. Please see
Debbie Kennedy or Elaine Sawyer after service or contact
Elaine at (530) 756-5500.
Belfry Dinners Needed
Witness and Service is looking for volunteers to bring
dinners to the Belfry on Wednesday, October 29. There
are usually 15-20 meals needed, which should include a
vegetarian/vegan option. Soup, bread, pizza, spaghetti,
all work. If you are interested in bringing a meal, contact
Craig Lundgren or Karen Hamilton at (530) 7507708 or Lynn Evert at (530) 756-2030.
Food Around the Altar
During the month of November, congregants are
encouraged to bring non-perishable food to place around
the altar. All donations go to STEAC, H Street Food
Shelter, and Yolo Crisis Nursery. We will also have a box
for monetary donations. Checks can be made out to LCI
with “Food Around the Altar” in the memo line. The junior
high kids have made some great signs to hang up as a
reminder. Contact Emily Rustad at (248) 408-1251 or
[email protected] for more information.
Updating Birthdays and Anniversaries
We would love to include you on our weekly birthday and
anniversary prayer list! If your special day comes and
your name isn’t on the prayer list, let Elaine know your
birthday or anniversary date so we can share it with the
congregation and update our database. You can contact
Elaine at [email protected] or (530) 756-5500.
Monthly Ministry Partner (MMP) Nominations
We invite all in the LCI community to nominate an
organization for possible selection as a featured recipient
in our MMP program for 2015. Those making nominations
should be willing to serve as sponsors of their applications
through the selection process, and also should be
committed to overseeing the publicity and related
activities that will be required if their nominee is selected.
Applications will be handed out before and after services
today and next Sunday; more are available in the office.
For additional information, contact Karen Hamilton at
(530) 400-5141 or Lynn Evert at (530) 219-1281.
Facility Hosts Needed
If you would like to help greet and direct people during
our construction, we can use help! To spread the duties
out a bit we need a few more volunteers to help before
and after first service (8:10-8:30, 9:20-9:40) and before
second service (10:10-10:30). If you are interested in
helping, contact Debbie & Peter Kennedy by email at
[email protected] or call them at (530) 756-8812.
50 Years of Growing in Grace, Serving in Love
On November 29, 1964 the original members of the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation celebrated their first worship service on the second floor of the Brinley Building at
Second and E Streets in Davis. Pastor Art Henry was the
pastor at that time. In the fall of 1966, LCI began worshipping at the Varsity Theater until the new church at 1701
Russell Blvd. was built. Join us for worship as we celebrate
our roots on Sunday, November 30, 2014, 9:30 am at the
Varsity Theater in downtown Davis.
Prayers
LCI is a community that prays for one another. If you would like
a prayer request added to the prayer chain and included here
and in the pastoral prayers of intercession, please contact Carole
Franti at [email protected] or (530) 756-3601, and also the
church office at (530) 756-5500 or [email protected]. General
