FELLOWSHIP COOKOUT AND SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL KICK-OFF  Today the Sunday School kicks off their summer program with some special events during the Sunday School hour and at the cook out.  At noon is our fellowship cookout for everyone.  The grill will be sizzling with hamburgers, hot dogs and bratwursts.  Be sure and join us for this fun and fellowship meal.

CONGRATULATIONS to Lauren S. and Damon F. who were married here yesterday.  Lauren is the daughter of Curt & Holly S.  We ask God’s blessings on this young couple as they begin their life together as husband and wife.  

PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.  Each bear is numbered on the back of the tag.  That is the number to record in the notebook in the narthex, along with your name, the name of the recipient, and reason.  The recipient may keep the bear as long as needed, or may return it to the pews to be given to someone else needing extra love from God and extra prayers from us.

MONEY MATTERS  Parents and children ages 6 to 10 are invited to a free educational workshop called Parents, Kids and Money Matters Sunday, June 27th, during the Sunday School hour.  The workshop is designed for parents and their children to help kids learn about money and values.  The Workshop is presented by Austin Rice, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans representative, and members of the congregation.  The workshop is free and no financial products will be sold.  For more information contact Austin Rice at 888-243-8225.

SOFTBALL  The co-ed team will play this Monday evening at 8:30.  The men’s team will play this Tuesday evening at 6:30.

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 am 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.
