THE LORD PERFORMS HOLY BAPTISM TODAY on Colt Steven Schmeichel.  He is the son of Ethan and Jessica Schmeichel.  Welome Colt to the family of God!

SAVE THE DATE: Parents of this fall's sixth and seventh graders. Please save August 26th at 7:00pm for a meeting. Confirmation will hopefully start after Labor Day and we hope that it is an in-person class. I ask that parent/sponsor attend class with the confirmand for at least the first year. This meeting will give expectations, materials, and a chance to speak with one another to decide what date/time it will work best for all families, so bring your calendars and schedules. More information to follow when it gets closer to the date. - Pastor

MAIN STREET LIVING:  This is the Life at 10:00 a.m. and Worship Service at 10:30 a.m.  See BlogSpot for monthly schedule.

Good works do not save me, but the saved me, does good works. Please contact me if interested in being on a "Help Offered" list for service work for the elderly in our church and the community of Freeman such as; picking up mail/groceries, routine check-ins coordinated with family, small painting projects, toting, lifting, brush/leaf clearing, cleaning, or perhaps you have some ideas. You may even be "elderly" yourself, but can and want to help your neighbor however you can. Please, give me a call- Pastor

If you find yourself shuttered at home and need someone to do something for you, or are a family member of someone who is, but could use someone to check in on your loved one, also please give me a call and I will try to connect you to those volunteers above. - Pastor

Several missions/ministries were not highlighted in the past few months. In April, the Orphan Grain Train (POB 1466, Norfolk, NE 68702-1466)  was scheduled to come give a presentation but was postponed. We are now looking at scheduling something in September. In addition, the Lenten dinners were also not held and so the Youth Group did not benefit from your contributions. Other missed opportunities to support missions and ministry efforts were for May: IssuesEtc.org (P.O. Box 83, Collinsville, IL 62234), a syndicated radio talk show and podcast, and Freeman Regional Health Services Foundation (510 E. 8th St. PO Box 370 Freeman, SD 57029). And in June: LCMS Disaster Response (via Lutheran Church Missouri Synod).

in July consider supporting future pastor and deaconess formation by supporting the Joint Seminary Fund (via Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, 1333 S. Kirkwood Rd. St. Louis, MO 63122) or each individually seminary (Adopt-A-Student - Concordia Seminary St. Louis Advancement office 800.822-5287 or, Concordia Theological Seminary Fort Wayne at 260.452.2167)

Thank you for considering these Missions/Ministries.
