Mite Boxes

For those of you who joined us in collecting coins for Lutheran Braille Workers during Lent, please bring your boxes into church. Look for the labeled container near the slat wall for the drop-off place. Thank you!

Summer Schedule

Beginning Sunday, May 25, worship will begin at 9:00am and Sunday School will be in recess until after Labor Day. Make a note! If you show up at 10:07, you will not be early!

Also, the office hours for summer will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from about 10:30am to about 1pm. These times are subject to a bit of “flexing” since there’s very little that needs to happen at a very specific time in the summer – please extend grace. Emailing the office is the surest way to get a response!

Thank You – and Thanks be to God!

Thanks be to God for these servants and their service!

RLA CASE STATEMENT: Detailed Project Proposal

Vacation Bible School

There’s a board by the slat wall where folks can “adopt a day” to donate funds for items needed for this year’s VBS. Instructions are on the board, or you can ask Krista if you need additional info. We also really ask for your PRAYERS: for all the work that goes into preparing the week, for enough volunteers, and for the kids to really have a great week trusting Jesus. Thank you so much for supporting our program in many ways.

Sunday Servants Gather Before Worship

All who help lead the Divine Service gather promptly at 10:05am to take 3 minutes to prepare their hearts and minds for worship. If you are serving as altar guild, usher, crucifer/acolyte, lector, greeter, tech person, elder, musician/dancer, doorkeeper or other HEART member, etc. on a particular Sunday, please come together for quick introductions and short prayer led by Deaconess Amy Smessaert. Together, we will ask God to bless our service to God’s people as we live connected in spiritual formation in Christ. All confirmands and parents are encouraged to participate, whether or not you are serving on that Sunday.   

Spring Mid-Week Bible Studies

THURSDAY MORNING, 9am at church: we meet in the “library area” of the narthex. We begin a new book April 24 on the Apostles’ Creed. We’d love for you to join us! Connect with Paula Ryan or call Renee in the office (574-255-5585).

FRIDAY NIGHT: 1st and 3rd Fridays 6:30pm: we meet in the fellowship hall. Hosts offer dinner from 6:30-7pm, with study beginning at 7pm and lasting an hour or 90 minutes, usually. We are studying Isaiah! If you would like to know more, please see John Schroeder or Mike Fonck.
