PASTOR'S WEEKLY MESSAGE: This coming Sunday is the seventh Sunday of Easter. The season of Easter is almost over and it will be time for Pentecost (and we can wear red). We have worship services at 10:30 (led by our pipe organ) and noon (led by guitars and a mandolin). We also have Sunday School at 9:00 am. The gospel text for this coming week is John 17:6-19 and Pastor Hout’s sermon theme is “Joy Fulfilled”. You can read the gospel for the coming Sunday at www.biblegateway.com
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. We may not get as many visitors as some larger sites but we get important people here.....people like you! We hope you are having a good day with our Lord. Please, stop by to see us again.
Last Sunday was the sixth Sunday of Easter and it was also Mother’s Day. How nice to be able to highlight these important people in our family and in the world. It was also nice to be able to give out flowers during the children’s sermon to all the women in the congregation.
Thanks for the cookies It was great to have so many cookies come in for our military folks. We had enough goodies to send packages to three of our young men in the service.
Thanks also for all the cookies that were brought in for the fellowship time after our concert on Sunday. How nice to have the DULC (Dayton United Lutheran Chorale) sing on Mother’s Day.
May is our month at Helping Hands and we will be working over there from 2-4 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday the first two weeks of May.
Here is the prayer of the day for Sunday................... Gracious and glorious God, you have chosen us as your own, and by the powerful name of Christ you protect us from evil. By your Spirit transform us and your beloved world, that we may find our joy in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
In our prayers We pray for Rebecca Powers who was at Southview Hospital this past week. We continue to pray for Sidney Wagner and Laura Quinn as well as our military folks Zach Mathis and Blake Parrett. We also continue to remember in prayer some of our shut-ins: Mary Ellen Wagner, Mary Schubert, Mary Gore, Ione Shiffer, Betty Daily and Don Stupp.
