Grace Lutheran Church

Announcements for the week of May 11, 2008

Calling All Fleas… Beginning Sunday, June 8 you may bring to church any fleas that you would like to donate to the Flea Sale supporting Grace members who will be attending Christian schools this fall. We will accept any items. Our sale is Saturday, June 14 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Contact Christi Gaertner with any questions.

Sunday School closing is scheduled for June 15. We will have Sunday school that day followed by 10:30 a.m. worship service and a Congregational Cookout at 11:45 p.m.

Ally Coleman and Girl Scout Troop 908 are working on their silver award. They will be collecting food for the less fortunate and would like to ask Grace congregation to help by bringing a non-perishable food item and placing it in the boxes located at the entrances of the church during the month of May.

Save the Date! Grace Ladies are having a potluck supper on May 27 at 6:00 p.m.

Following the dinner, Karen Kumm will give a presentation on her recent trip to Camp Restore in Louisana. All women are invited!

Sunday, June 22 after Sunday school ends worship time will remain at 10:30 a.m. but we will introduce a 9:30 a.m. Morning Prayer service with coffee fellowship taking place between the two services.

We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate the summer coffee fellowship. If you are willing to help out please contact the church office.

Through you contributions to the mission fund at Grace, we reach out and support different missions locally, nationally, and international. St. Catherine’s Seminary Food Pantry is the special mission for the month of May.

What We Learned in Sunday School Today… Today in Sunday School the children learned that as God did with Paul, so God does with us. Through the Law we are crushed by the weight of our sin and are helpless. As God revived Paul through Ananias (Acts 9:1–31), He revives us through our pastors with the proclamation of His Word and the administration of His Sacraments granting forgiveness, life, and salvation to all who believe. Talk to your children about how the Sacraments and God’s Word revive you so that you may live as God’s child.
