NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Jeremiah 20:7-13, Romans 6:12-23, and Matthew 10:5a, 21-33.
TODAY after worship we celebrate another successful year of Christian education with our annual picnic. Join us for hamburgs, hotdogs, drinks, salads, and desserts, and some great fellowship. All are welcome!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Our summer Coffee Hour will begin NEXT SUNDAY in the chapel after worship, and will continue through the summer. Please sign up on the glass case if you are willing to help by providing baked goods (homemade or purchased) or another treat.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION: On July 26, we will celebrate our Grace members who have or will turn 80 or older during 2026. Plan to stay for coffee hour that day and enjoy a piece of birthday cake as we congratulate our “oldies but goodies”, one of which will be turning 101 years young this summer!
NEXT SUNDAY is the last opportunity to donate to our spring mission project supporting SUMMIT LIFE CENTER in Niagara Falls. Tables are available in the narthex and chapel for donations of baby items such as clothes, blankets, diapers, wipes, and infant toiletries. Summit supports young women and men facing unplanned pregnancies with free services, including counseling, parenting classes, support groups, community assistance referrals, and needed baby items.
BABY BOTTLE BANKS to support Summit Life Center are due back NEXT SUNDAY. Checks should be made out to Summit Life Center. Please return them to Alice Moll or the church office.
JUNE MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) K9 Comfort Dog program. LCC’s golden retrievers are trained to interact with people who are suffering and in need. These special dogs open doors and create opportunities to share the mercy, compassion, and presence of Jesus during times of natural or man-made disasters such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, and mass shootings. LCC never charges those they serve. This mission is supported by donations. Your donation will go directly to the training, care, and travel expenses of their K-9’s. Check out the dogs’ pictures at www.lutheranchurchcharities.org under “K-9 Ministries”.
