PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE  On Sunday May 23rd, The Rev. Dr. Stuart Brassie, from the MO-District Office of the LCMS, will lead us in a planning session beginning at 1:30 pm. Dr. Brassie will help us focus on what direction we want to go, now that the expansion program is almost over, and how we will do it.  The planning session is open to everyone, and together, with our Lord’s guidance, we can look to a future that is focused and God-directed. 

GOLF LEAGUE UPDATE/CHANGES  The night for the golf league to play has been changed to Monday evenings.  It will still be at Briarbrook Golf Course, Carl Junction, at 5:30 pm.  Please let us know if you would like to play by using the sign up sheet in the narthex.  Team scores will be figured by handicaps, which will be figured after several weeks of play.  (This will not be a scramble league.)  Any questions contact Mary at the church office.  The league will probably begin on June 7th. 

ALTAR FLOWERS  If you would like to place flowers at the altar for a special occasion, in loving memory of someone, or in thankfulness, please write your name, phone number, and the occasion on the flower chart in the narthex.  If you order or purchase your flowers from 4-All Seasons Florist, 358-5828, or Third Day Creations, 237-0939, they will deliver here to the church and you will also receive a 10 % discount.  Any questions, contact Betty K.

KID KITS  In the narthex are a number of bags containing crayons, coloring books, picture books and other items of interest for young children.  You are welcome to use them for your little ones.  Please return the “kid kit” after the service.

BLOOD PRESSURE  The opportunity to have your blood pressure taken and recorded after each service is available in the nurse’s office located off the narthex.  You will be given a card to carry with you to record your readings.

TAPES & CDS OF THE SERVICE  Audio tapes and CDs of the service are available after the 8:15 a.m. service each Sunday.  They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.  The previous Sunday’s are also available.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING  If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers.  They work like a transistor radio and you control the volume.
