LAST CHANCE!! Next Sunday is the last opportunity to donate toward our STOCK THE SHOPPE mission project. We are accepting donations of new baby care items, such as clothing, infant toiletries, and diapers (sizes 1 – 3) to help stock the Parenting Shoppe at Summit Life Outreach Center. Summit is a Christian organization located on Pine Avenue that is devoted to helping young women in unplanned pregnancy situations. Their “earn while you learn” program allows their clients to “shop” for needed baby items with credits received for attendance at prenatal and parenting education classes as well as counseling sessions. Your gifts may be left on the tables in the chapel or narthex.
IT’S NOT TOO LATE: You can still donate to Summit Life Outreach by taking a BABY BOTTLE BANK from the tables in the narthex and chapel and filling it with change, a paper money donation, or a check. If you would like to support Summit in this way, take a bottle home with you today and return it by next Sunday to the donation table, Alice Moll, or the church office.
SUMMER COFFEE HOUR after worship is coming back beginning next Sunday! The Elders will be providing baked goods for the two Sundays in June. They are looking for volunteers to bake during July and August. If you are able to help, please sign up for a week (or two) that is convenient for you. A sign up sheet is located on the glass case. If you have questions, please speak to Gary Krull.
JUNE MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) K-9 Comfort Dogs. LCC currently has 130 specially trained Golden Retrievers that are located throughout the country. They respond to natural and man-made disasters (including mass shootings) to offer comfort to victims and first responders and open doors for conversations about God’s love. Most often, they have “paws on the ground” within 24 hours of being invited. LCC guarantees that 100% of your donation will go toward the training, care, and travel expenses of these K-9’s. To support LCC K-9’s, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during June or donate online under “monthly mission”.
THANK YOU for donating to our May mission envelopes for the Lord’s Day Dinner. We were able to send a check in the amount of $700 to support the work being done by Yvonne & Matt Davis and their volunteers as they provide dinners for our neighbors in need in Niagara Falls.
