PICNIC TODAY: Today we are celebrating the blessing of our Christian Education opportunities as we end another year of Sunday School and Bible Class. Our children will be participating in various ways in today’s worship service. After worship, EVERYONE is invited to stay for a picnic lunch. Please join us as we share good food and fellowship!
NEXT SUNDAY–COFFEE HOUR IS BACK! Beginning next Sunday and continuing through the summer, we will have coffee and snacks available in the chapel after worship. Plan to stay for a few minutes when you are able and chat with your Grace friends. There is a signup sheet on the glass case for those who would like to help by providing a treat.
DISASTER AID FOR STORM VICTIMS: Our June mission envelopes are designated for LCMS Disaster Response, which has been responding to the numerous destructive storms and flooding across the Midwest and Southern states in recent weeks. Thrivent will be matching $1 for each $2 donated. If you wish to support our church’s disaster response efforts, place your mission envelope in the offering plate or donate online (choosing “monthly mission”) on or before June 23. PLEASE NOTE: We are ending this opportunity before the end of June because our donation has to be submitted prior to July 1 to receive Thrivent matching funds.
DOOR OFFERING TODAY: There will be offering plates at each entrance after worship today for those who prefer to donate in this way to our monthly mission supporting LCMS Disaster Response. Your donations will go toward assisting those affected by the recent destructive storms in our country.
SPRING MISSION PROJECT: Continuing through Father’s Day (June 16), we will be accepting donations of baby supplies to support Summit Life Center.Items that are needed include new infant clothing, blankets, diapers, and baby toiletries. Summit, located on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls, is run by volunteers who provide support to girls and young women in unplanned pregnancy situations. Summit’s free services include pregnancy testing, sonograms, peer counseling, and a variety of classes pertaining to pregnancy and parenting. Each contact for counseling or classes results in earning credits that can be used for baby supplies from their Parenting Shoppe. Let’s help “Stock the Shoppe”.
BABY BOTTLE BANKS: If you would prefer to support Summit with a cash or check donation, Baby Bottle Banks are available on the donation tables for your use. Please turn your bottle banks into the office or to Alice Moll.
