INTIMATE SACRAMENT: The Lord’s Table is open and offered to all current, confirmed members in good standing of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (and churches that we are in pulpit and altar fellowship) who desire it. This assumes we confess the oneness of the same faith, have been taught how to examine ourselves, and are truly repentant for our sins (worthily). We ask that all guests at Table at St. Paul Lutheran Church of Freeman, to please announce your intention to commune with us to the pastor or elders before the service. Oneness at Communion pre-supposes the horizontal oneness with each other in doctrine. If you belong to a different doctrinal confession however, we invite you to come forward to receive a blessing indicated by folding your arms over your chest as you come to the rail, or remain in the pew and pray for the day when divisions would cease. Thank you for respecting our teachings. - Pastor.
THE CHALICE IS OFFERED FIRST DURING COMMUNION. For more than three decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated an official position to inquirers (eg, lay public, physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals) about the low-to-no risk of infectious disease transmission from a common communion cup. - Pastor
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS) is set for June 7-9 from 6-8:30pm. Please contact Karrissa Podzimek for more information.
PLEASE JOIN US for the annual meeting of Salem Mennonite Home on
Tuesday, June 8 at 7:00 p.m. We will be

THE CHALICE IS OFFERED FIRST DURING COMMUNION. Why does there seem to be more risk in spreading something with individual cups than the chalice? Scientifically unknown, but it is speculated that it is possibly because individual sups are handled by the lip by several hands before it gets to your mouth. or it is the gold/silver of the chalice vs plastic/glass of the individual cups, or when you pick the shot glass up with your hands and put it in your mouth, you could also receive germs from the fact that it has been at least an hour or so since you washed your own hand – Pastor

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDY IS MOVING from before services at 8:30 to fifteen minutes after the services have ended (approximately 10:45) on June 6th at least for the summer. Currently Sunday Morning Bible study is going through the book of Romans, but will probably join the Men's group in studying the book of Amos. Please join us.
VBS BIBLE STUDY and planning meeting originally scheduled for Wednesday June 2nd has been changed to Thursday June 3rd at 7pm. Our apologies to whom this may have affected.
VOCATION BIBLE
SCHOOL (VBS) is set for
June 7-9 from 6-8:30pm. Please contact Karrissa Podzimek for more information.
SUMMER CHANGES: Divine Services with Communion will go
back to being offered on the second and third Sundays and Feast Days (except
June see below) and re-evaluated at the end of summer. Prayers services will be
used on the other Sundays with a short order of Communion Service by the pastor
(similar to early 2020's Family Services and Shut-in Services) offered after
the close of the Prayer Services for those who desire the Lord's Body and
Blood. If you wish to participate, Instead of making your way out, make your
way to the front pews and it will begin immediately after.
More people will be ushered to the rail
during communion by putting the center rail in and heading up the center and
returning by way of the side rails as before in a snake-like fashion. It will
be strange for a while, but we'll soon remember how we used to do it.
Starting June 6th, the Fellowship Hall
will be "open" to coffee and water for fellowship for at least 15
minutes after services before the Bible Study begins. Funerals and other events
will be discussed on a case by case basis.
The back two pews on the lectern side
will be reserved for Salem Mennonite Home residents to sit in the back pew and
the second from the back pew left open so the pastor and elder can go down that
row to distribute the elements. Please help accommodate them and sit forward of
these two back pews. For everybody else, it remains the same, if you wish to
remain in the pew and receive the Sacrament in the pew, please sit on
an outside spot so you can receive from
the center or side aisle. We will also return to registering for communion in
the front Narthex (instead of
the ushers taking a count), though if
you wish to remain in the pew, please continue to indicate this to the ushers.
In June, due to Pastor Makelin being
gone on June 13th to preach at First Trinity Lutheran, rural Wayne NE's 150th
celebration, Divine Services will be offered on June 20th and 27th *third and
fourth Sundays). Pastor
David
Ellis will be preaching on June 13th with no communion offered on that day.
We thank you for your patience as we
continue in our mission of St. Paul Lutheran Church - to gather in His Name
around His Holy Word as His
disciples, receive His Sacraments in joy
and blessings to salvation, and to offer up our sacrifices of prayer, praise,
and thanksgiving. Pastor.

THE CHALICE IS OFFERED FIRST DURING COMMUNION. The witness of the scientific community has been and continues to be, that there is no indication of any greater infection among those who commune with the chalice than those who do not. In fact, when examining the past fifty years of individual cup use, the opposite appears to be true, that there is a greater risk using the individual cups.

Men's Bible Study Starts the Book of Amos on Wednesdays 6:00am to 7:00am. Amos, while not the first of Israel's prophets (Elijah and Elisha preceded him by about 100 years), he is the first to have his message written down. He preached to the nation of Israel and Judah about their social and moral ills around 760 B.C., While it is tempting to apply Amos' message directly to today's society with obvious comparisons, we can only see them through the lens of Amos' context of the conditions of Israel in 800 B.C.

Men's Bible Study Starts the Book of
Amos on
Wednesdays 6:00am to 7:00am. Amos, while not the first of Israel's prophets
(Elijah and Elisha preceded him by about 100 years), he is the first to have
his message written down. He preached to the nation of Israel and Judah about
their social and moral ills around 760 B.C., While it is tempting to apply
Amos' message directly to today's society with obvious comparisons, we can only
see them through the lens of Amos' context of the conditions of Israel in 800
B.C. Please join us if you can.

INTIMATE SACRAMENT: We
continue to celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week for those who have not been
able to commune in some time, in the glad confidence and confession, that our
Lord, as He says, gives not only bread and wine, but His very body and blood
to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sin. In these pandemic
times, we have instituted as much as possible the physical distancing and
sanitation practices to assure your physical safety, while still providing
Christ for your physical/spiritual/emotional/psychological safety against sin,
death, and the devil. If you do not share in this confession of our
congregation and LC-Missouri Synod, or are not yet instructed, or have doubts –
please 
speak to the pastor first. Or, you are invited to come to the rail for a blessing and meditate on God’s Word during the distribution, praying for the day when divisions will have ceased.
BEGINNING HOLY THURSDAY, the chalice will be offered first during communion, followed by the individual cups. Why? Because I want you use the chalice for your benefit- Pastor
