September News...School has arrived!

ANOTHER School Year...it's hard to believe!
Yikes...going to bed early again and getting UP early again!
and...football and volleyball season are here upon us...

Please do not get so busy you forget to keep God a part of your daily schedule...especially at the top of that schedule! When we do not make it a priority for God to be a part of our day...He tends to get the left-overs...if there are any. Take time to talk to God...and find out what plans He has for you before you begin your day!

Pastoral Call Process...
Sunday, Aug. 31st was our congregational voters meeting. GREAT NEWS...a unanimous vote was taken by the ORLC Members to call Pastor Eloy Gonzalez to be our next Senior Pastor of ORLC. For many of the ORLC Youth who participated on the San Antonio Mission Trip (Summer 2004)...they have already meet Pastor Eloy Gonzalez. On that mission trip, we visited Concordia Lutheran Church and Day Care. We presented our puppets, songs, dances, crafts and GOSPEL of Jesus Christ to the Day Care on our first day of our mission trip. Since then, Pastor Gonzalez has been to ORLC for Hispanic Mission Conferences as well as Pastor Bob Gonzalez's Funeral in 2007. He also helped with the 2008 Service of Blessing at ORLC on Spet. 24th.
PLEASE keep our Church and Pastor Gonzalez in your prayers as the Holy Spirit speaks to us and to him during this most important time of decision. May the Holy Spirit guide and direct Pastor G to be led here to shepherd the ORLC Family of believers!
