We are back with our monthly newsletter. We also have a new feature called Pandemic Pastimes—let us know what you did during the pandemic, and we will publish it in the newsletter.
If you would like to submit a Pandemic Pastime or any other article for the September newsletter, please email (info@ulctempe.org) the office by Friday, August 13, 2021. Thank you.
Our sympathies to the family of Pastor David L. Hurty. Pastor Hurty, 90, served as pastor to Church of the Good Shepherd (former name of University Lutheran) from 1956-1963. Pastor Hurty died May 7 in Oakland, CA. He is survived by wife Kathleen, four children, seven grand-children and 4 great-grandchildren.
Our sympathies to the family and friends of Muriel Cronin. Muriel died July 25 in Denver, CO. Muriel and her late husband John came to Tempe in 1966 and joined Church of the Good Shepherd/University Lutheran Church. In recent years Muriel moved to be near son Paul in Denver. Daughter Martha lives in Massachusetts and daughter Sarah died in March 2018 in Mesa. Muriel’s cremains will be interred next to her late husband’s at Augustana Lutheran Church, Denver. A memorial service for Muriel will be held at University Lutheran in late October or early November.
To the family of Barbara Bush. Barbara died in her Tempe home July 11.
She & husband Myron Scott attended University Lutheran/ Church of the Good Shepherd since 1971. Barbara’s memorial service will be at ULC August 5 at 11am.
We have not been using names during our prayers for online worship for reasons of privacy and will continue that policy.
However, now that we are back in person and moving toward more normal times, we will begin including names in our prayers for in person worship.
Our old list is seriously out of date, so if you have someone to include in our in person prayers, please notify the church office info@ulctempe.org or 480.967.3543. Thank you!
