a year. We are also responsible for church decorations<br />

at Christmas & Easter. The annual Mother-Daughter<br />

banquet is our fund-raiser. After the meeting, Secret<br />

Sisters will be revealed and redrawn for those who<br />

would like to participate. A Secret Sister remembers<br />

you in prayer and special occasions. Pick up an info<br />

sheet in the church office prior to the meeting. If you<br />

can’t attend the meeting, give your filled out form to<br />

Loretta, in the church office, prior to the 16th.<br />

Thanks to all the OSL members/families who helped<br />

decorate the church on the 11th. The turnout was<br />

awesome & really appreciated. Bless you for your<br />

work to enhance our church. Take down is <strong>Sunday</strong>,<br />

January 8th, for all that can help. It always goes a<br />

lot quicker!<br />

It’s All About the Babies...<br />

By the grace of God, the Mobile Crisis Pregnancy<br />

Center is doing marvelous things. The numbers<br />

for March - December, 2011 are:<br />

• 378 women were served in the center<br />

• 59 women were repeat visits<br />

• 319 women were new to the center<br />

• 130 negative pregnancy tests<br />

• 176 positive pregnancy tests<br />

• 155 women chose LIFE<br />

• 13 visits for information<br />

• 176 ultrasounds done<br />

• 21 babies lost, either...<br />

they said they were still having an abortion or<br />

we knew they had an appointment at Planned<br />

Parenthood or<br />

were not able to contact them after their visit or<br />

refused to take a blanket<br />

87% saved!<br />

We provided 166 blankets and over 28 people have<br />

participated in providing these blankets by: buying<br />

material, hemming material, crocheting edges,<br />

writing notes for each blanket, crocheting whole<br />

blankets, knitting blankets or giving money.<br />

Many people gave me money to buy material at<br />

JoAnn’s for the after Thanksgiving sale, over $400.<br />

We have material for at least 250 blankets and have<br />

some money left to buy yarn. Praise the Lord!<br />

Christine Melchor said that these 155 babies that<br />

were saved was all through the grace of God. HE has<br />

worked miracles thru the ultrasound machine.<br />

Please remember the bus and everything connected<br />

with it in prayer:<br />

• Good health for the Coalition Bus workers<br />

• Holy Spirit be with them as they minister to<br />

these girls<br />

• That the bus stays in good mechanical order<br />

(missed about 4 weeks since March for repairs)<br />

2012 Service Teams<br />

The new Those to Serve schedule is being<br />

developed. If you would like to be added to or<br />

taken off a team please let the church office know<br />

by January 15th. Teams to consider serving your<br />

church are: Carts, Greeters, Sound, Ushers,<br />

Altar Guild & Friday morning bulletin teams.<br />

Usually it just takes a couple hours once a month<br />

of service for most of these teams. Altar Guild,<br />

Carts & Greeters just a few times a year!<br />

Ushers are especially needed! Contact Ken Wright<br />

281-583-9228 (ken.w@acs-llc.net), or Ed Eckert<br />

281-447-1135 (eeckert@leecospring.com).<br />

Flower Chart 2012<br />

The new flower chart is on the hutch in the<br />

narthex. Commemorate your special occasions<br />

with flowers. Only 2 arrangements are available<br />

each <strong>Sunday</strong> for $25 each. Note your name and<br />

if you want to keep them with (W), or if you<br />

would rather send them to the sick with (S). You<br />

will get a reminder in the mail.<br />

5th Annual Bus Trip to Austin For LIfe!<br />

Join us on our Charter Bus and attend the 2012<br />

Texas Rally For <strong>Life</strong> - Saturday, January 28, 2012.<br />

This year’s Rally commemorates the 39th<br />

anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme<br />

Court decision in 1973, which made abortion legal<br />

throughout all nine months of pregnancy. In the<br />

wake of Roe, legal abortion in our nation has<br />

claimed the lives of more than 50 million unborn<br />

children and has hurt countless women and men.<br />

HLFL provides 4,500 Inserts to Local Congregations<br />

As part of our outreach - “Equipping <strong>Lutheran</strong>s to<br />

be Gospel-motivated voices For <strong>Life</strong>”, once again,<br />

Houston <strong>Lutheran</strong>s For <strong>Life</strong> is providing <strong>Life</strong><br />

<strong>Sunday</strong> Bulletin Inserts to twelve Houston area<br />

LCMS congregations.<br />

<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Sunday</strong> is January 22, 2012. This year it falls on the<br />

39th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, January 22, 1973.<br />

Mission Statement: “Equipping <strong>Lutheran</strong>s to be<br />

Gospel-motivated voices For <strong>Life</strong>!”<br />

For the 4th straight year the Norman Adams family<br />

has sponsored our Charter bus so bring your whole<br />

family and join us - the total cost is ONLY $10<br />

per adult, which helps cover expenses as well as<br />

snacks and refreshments for the trip. Kids 12 and<br />

under (accompanied by an adult) and ALL students<br />

including College are FREE.<br />

The next General Membership Meeting of HLFL<br />

will be held on the bus. <strong>Our</strong> Charter Bus will<br />

depart <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Savior</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> <strong>Church</strong> at 8:00 am and<br />

will return by 7:00 p.m (5000 W Tidwell, Houston,<br />

TX 77090). The march begins at 1 p.m. at the NW<br />

corner of 15th St. and Colorado St. and ends at the<br />

Capital Steps with a Rally at 2 p.m. (NOTE: The bus<br />

will drop off all non-walkers right next to the Capital.) For<br />

Interested in becoming a member?<br />

God calls us to be faithful, and there are many ways<br />

you can get involved. Maybe you take part in one<br />

of the “Social Action” events we participate in, or<br />

perhaps become a part of our speakers bureau<br />

where we make presentations to local <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />

Groups and Congregations on the many <strong>Life</strong> issues<br />

that face us EVERY DAY! We know how imperative<br />

it is we understand and share God’s Word on issues<br />

like Abortion, Adoption, After the Abortion,<br />

Biotechnology, Chastity, Contraception, Creation,<br />

Christian Responsibility and End of <strong>Life</strong> matters.<br />

We can help you Þnd some way to plug-in, that Þts<br />

into your <strong>Life</strong>. Please contact Janice Jolley for more<br />

information or to join. phone - 281-414-6565 or e-<br />

mail - HLFL@comcast.net.<br />

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.<br />

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your<br />

stand against the devil’s schemes.<br />

For our struggle is not against ßesh and blood, but against<br />

the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of<br />

this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the<br />

heavenly realms. - Eph. 6:10-12<br />

Mike Jolley<br />

President - Houston <strong>Lutheran</strong>s For <strong>Life</strong><br />

“Choose life!” (Deuteronomy 30:19) The word<br />

“choice” in connection with life raises all kinds of<br />

questions and controversy. The Christian view of<br />

“choice” differs greatly from the world’s view. The<br />

world chooses based on what they want. We base our<br />

choices on being chosen by God in Jesus Christ. As<br />

chosen people, we are called to Þrst and foremost trust<br />

God and His will as we make our choices.<br />

Let HLFL Speakers address your next group!<br />

Houston <strong>Lutheran</strong>s For <strong>Life</strong> is prepared to present a<br />

variety of “Special Presentations” on <strong>Life</strong> Issues.<br />

We address Adult Groups, Youth Groups, Bible<br />

Classes, School Classes or Assemblies. We realize<br />

how important it is for all of us to understand the<br />

value of life and learn the Biblical basis of how God<br />

views all life as precious. We would love to be a<br />

resource to your group as a powerful, Biblical, prolife<br />

voice. Through this study, God, through His<br />

Word, can change hearts and through them<br />

transform society. Here are some of the<br />

presentations we have:<br />

¥ “The Mission, Message and Manner of <strong>Lutheran</strong>s For<br />

<strong>Life</strong>” (10 min.; Jr. High School to Adult.)<br />

¥ “<strong>Lutheran</strong>s For <strong>Life</strong> – Who Are We?” (25 min.; Jr. High<br />

School to Adult.)<br />

¥ "Biotechnology 101: A Primer" (45 min.; High School to<br />

Adult.)<br />

¥ “The Basics on Advance Directives” (25 min.; Adult.)<br />

¥ “God’s View of the Value of <strong>Life</strong>” (12 min.; Grades K-8)<br />

¥ “God’s Knitting Room” (10 min.; Grades K-8.)<br />

Texans Honor Mr. Eifert<br />

The Houston Texans sponsored a program this year to<br />

honor one outstanding teacher in the Houston area for<br />

each home game. Erica Puryear nominated our very own,<br />

Mr. Eifert, because of the compassion he showed her as a<br />

new student feeling a little out of place and overwhelmed.<br />

Mr. Eifert picked up on the fact that Erica was a huge Texan<br />

fan and started talking to her about the team, players<br />

and games throughout the day. Mr. Eifert put her at ease<br />

and helped her to quickly adjust to life at OSL. On the<br />

Tuesday before the game, Darryl Sharpton, a linebacker<br />

for the Texans, came to OSL and spoke with Mr. Eifert<br />

and his students during an assembly in the gym. That<br />

<strong>Sunday</strong>, Mr. Eifert was given 4 field passes to the Texans<br />

game where he was given the VIP treatment and featured<br />

on the big screen during the 4th quarter. We are blessed<br />

to have a staff<br />

of wonderful,<br />

caring teachers,<br />

and we are<br />

excited for this<br />

honor to have<br />

been bestowed<br />

on Mr. Eifert.<br />

Chapel Offerings<br />

During the months of December and January, our chapel<br />

offerings will be collected to help The Gabriel Project. The<br />

Gabriel Project helps expectant mothers who are at least<br />

seven months pregnant or mothers who have a child six<br />

months or younger. The Gabriel Project offers limited<br />

financial help, food, and a baby layette to those in crisis.<br />

Cruise for Smiles<br />
