Congregational Congratulations are extended to Noah Walter Gallmann Bennett. Meredith Downing Dunne, and Carolanne Marie Schmitt upon their confession of faith in God and especially in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as their Savior from sin and death through the Rite of Confirmation. We praise God that He, through His Word and Sacraments, has created and strengthened their faith in Him and Christ. We fervently pray that they will faithfully continue to hear, read, and study His Word and partake of the Lord’s Supper so that they will continue to mature and remain steadfast in the faith that Jesus is the Savior all the days of their lives and receive the great gift of everlasting life in heaven.

Push For Our Fundraiser – Pull Some Pork! Today is the last day to buy tickets for daycare’s one and only annual fundraiser this Friday afternoon, June 10, 3:30-6:00 pm. Our pulled pork dinner makes for a supper that is inexpensive, tasty, and easily picked up in the church parking without getting out of your car. Tickets, advance sale only, are $6. The menu is a pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, cole slaw, pickle, and brownie. The proceeds will go to equipment. As our numbers have increased, more furniture and play equipment are desperately needed.

Our Next Quarterly Congregational Voters Meeting will be held Sunday, June 12 during coffee hour following our worship service. Updates will be given concerning our congregation and ministries such as Daycare and outreach. There will be time for any questions. The meeting should not be long. We pray that you will attend.
