THE BIBLE ON TRIAL – The Bible … how could it possibly be accurate? How can you know? What about this book that has compelled people to give their lives to defend its claims?

IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we pray for Doris Albrecht, Olinda Stark, Arden and Arlene Stern, Pauline Waltner, the Samuel Pappas family (Sam’s ex-daughter-in-law committed suicide last week) and the family of LeAnne Albrecht as they mourn the death of LeAnne. We also keep in our prayers our shut-in members, our inactive members and at least two people in our lives who don’t know Christ.
THE FUNERAL SERVICE for LeAnne Albrecht was held last Wed., May 25th. LeAnne was received into Glory on May 22nd. We ask God to comfort her family in their time of grief with the sure and certain hope of the resurrection of all flesh on the Last Day and the subsequent joyful reunion in heaven of all believers. The flowers on the altar this morning are from LeAnne’s funeral.
ASCENSION DAY WORSHIP SERVICE – As the Church has done since the days of the Apostles, we, too, will celebrate the Ascension of our Lord into His Glory. This year’s Ascension observance (the 40th day after Easter) will be Thursday, June 2nd at 7:00 p.m. Please join us in the worship of our ascended Lord!
REMINDER – The Samaritan group will meet Wednesday, June 1st, at 6:30 p.m. at the church. Please bring the item(s) you signed up to donate for our project. Remember to come for supper!
LADIES AID will meet at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday evening. Topic will be given by Julie. This month Millie Gunderson is on Altar Guild.
REV. DALE SATTGAST, President of the SD District of the LCMS, received the Doctor of Letters degree from Concordia University, St. Paul at their commencement ceremony of May 13th.

Please watch for more details.
ARMED FORCES SUNDAY – This week we celebrate Armed Forces Sunday. We know that, per many Bible passages, God instituted government for our protection and it, therefore, has the duty and obligation to protect its citizens. Regardless of our varied political views, we can all agree that a society must hold in high regard the personal sacrifices made by so many Americans on a daily basis to keep us all safe. It is their sacrifices, in fact, that allow people in this country the privilege of expressing and practicing their viewpoints … including the anti-military viewpoint. Those who sacrifice for us include not only our military members and chaplains but also their families. We recognize these individuals in the church by acknowledging their sacrifice, praying for their safety and supporting our Synod’s Ministry to the Armed Forces.
URGENT MISSION OPPORTUNITIES – This year God has opened many doors for LCMS members to serve overseas as missionaries and teachers for 1 to 2 years. As of this month, 36 critical positions remain unfilled. God has prepared in advance these exciting good works for His people. Besides the critical 36 openings, there are more than 200 other opportunities available to make the love of Christ known in Word and deed by serving within the LCMS World Missions organization … from 1 week positions to lifetime positions and everything in between! Perhaps one of these positions is for you and perhaps for someone you know. For more information please contact the Pastor.
ANNUAL LUTHERANS FOR LIFE DIAPER/LAYETTE item drive will continue through Father’s Day, June 19th. Diapers of all sizes are needed as well as diaper wipes, powders, lotions, baby bath items, shampoos, etc. Layette items such as receiving blankets, sleepers, booties, sweaters and other infant wear as well as any items that might be typically given as a shower gift are also welcome.

We would like to state that we profess to faithfully promote God’s name and glory. Our desire is to earnestly apply Christian fellowship to create helpful means to those in our church body as a testimony to God. We wish to make known our goals which are to spread God's word of hope and to do Christian acts.
We are looking for projects that will help and encourage people in our congregation -- people who are having health issues, unexpected expenses, loss of family or just need a pick-me-up for some reason. We welcome good news celebrations such as special birthdays, anniversaries and births. We encourage anyone to make suggestions on their own behalf or for others as well. We have placed a request box out on the spinner of extra bulletins and calendars in the Narthex. Our group will try to honor each request in some way.
Anyone who is interested in joining or has any questions or comments, please contact LaNae Harberts, Diane Schnabel or Kristi Dannenbring.

URGENT MISSION OPPORTUNITIES – This year God has opened many doors for LCMS members to serve overseas as missionaries and teachers for 1 to 2 years. As of this month, 36 critical positions remain unfilled. God has prepared in advance these exciting good works for His people. Besides the critical 36 openings, there are more than 200 other opportunities available to make the love of Christ known in Word and deed by serving within the LCMS World Missions organization … from 1 week positions to lifetime positions and everything in between! Perhaps one of these positions is for you and perhaps for someone you know. For additional information please contact the Pastor.

ARMED FORCES SUNDAY – Next Sunday we will celebrate Armed Forces Sunday. Regardless of our varied political views, we can all agree that a society must hold in high regard the personal sacrifices made by so many Americans on a daily basis to keep us all safe. Those who sacrifice for us include not only our military members and chaplains but also their families. We recognize these individuals in the church by acknowledging their sacrifice, praying for their safety and supporting our Synod’s Ministry to the Armed Forces.
REMINDER – The Samaritan group will meet Wednesday, May 25th at 6:30 p.m. at the church. Please bring the item(s) you signed up to donate for our project. Remember to come for supper!
