IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we remember Bryan Olesen and his family as they mourning the passing of Bryan’s father, those who are hospitalized, those in cancer treatment programs, our shut-in and inactive members, and at least 2 family members or friends in your life who do not yet know Christ.

Today is MISSION SUNDAY.  Our guest pastor today is Rev. Alan Ludwig who has been working with the Siberian Evangelical Lutheran Church for the last 13 years.  His work principally entails training and preparing Russian-speaking pastors to be able to serve existing churches and new start-up churches throughout Siberia and other Russian territories.  See your bulletin insert for additional information.  Prior to moving to Siberia, Rev. Ludwig served the Lutheran churches in Cresbard and Wecota (SW of Aberdeen).  Rev. Ludwig will also have a short presentation for us during the first part of our Fellowship Hour after our worship service.  Everyone is encouraged to stay for our fellowship time and Rev. Ludwig’s discussion session.  There is a basket in the Fellowship Hall for your donations to help support his mission work.  Whatever help you can give will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Main Street Living – June 23^rd – Kid’s Crossing uses the story of a dirty coat being washed as a picture of our redemption.  The featured speaker is Rev. Jordon Andreasen from St. John Lutheran Church in Wagner and Trinity Lutheran Church in Fairfax.  The program is interpreted for the hearing impaired.
