IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we pray for all who are hospitalized and all who are receiving on-going treatment for their afflictions. Special prayers for healing are requested for Leland Zanter (Marlys Aman’s brother) who is seriously ill; may God continue to answer our prayers. We also pray for our shut-in members, inactive members and at least two people in our lives who don’t know Christ.

SHORT-TERM MISSION OPPORTUNITIES – God has opened many doors for LCMS members to serve as missionaries and teachers. Several critical positions remain unfilled. In addition, there are more than 200 other 1-week to 2-year opportunities available to make the love of Christ known in Word and deed by serving within the LCMS World Missions organization. Perhaps one of these opportunities to share your God-given gifts is for you! Please see the Pastor for more information.
HELP SUPPLY VBS – If you are willing to donate supplies for our VBS program this year, please check the sign–up sheet on the bulletin board for what we need. Thank you.
THANK YOU! to all who remembered me on my 80th birthday with cards, verbal wishes and who joined me for cake during coffee hour. It made my day so very special. I truly feel blessed and may God continue to bless each of you as well. (s) Norbert Geidel
