FOOD PANTRY: We are also collecting food for the Food Pantry. If you have something to share that isn’t an Easter Basket item, please place it in the Food Pantry Box in the Friendship Hall
VBS HELPERS NEEDED!! Vacation Bible School is scheduled for August 6-9. Riverside is coming back to run the program again, but we are in need of as many volunteers as possible. The biggest area we need to fill is group helpers. These people travel with the kids and have fun with the groups with no teaching involved. This can be middle school/high school students or adults. We can work with you to do half days if we have enough volunteers as well!! Please consider volunteering for this AWESOME WEEK!!! Let Ashley Kuker know if you are able to help by emailing, texting, or calling- akuker@ifacadets.net or 515-205-8797.
TO ALL WOMEN: DATES TO REMEMBER
June 16, 2018, 31st Synodical WELCA Gathering, Wartburg College, Waverly, IA. We gather for worship with Holy Communion, breakout sessions which include Toro Bag Ladies, LSI, Mandalas, Synod Disaster, Representative on Faithful Friends, just to mention a few. Keynote speaker is Pastor Kevin Doely, who is also a ventriloquist. Cost: $48.00 by May 15. Contact person: Pastor Jane Granzow, 641-316-1046.
July 30-31, 2018, an overnight trip to the Twin Cities with a tour of the Lutheran World Relief warehouse in South St. Paul, the Global Health Ministries warehouse in Fridley, MN and Mary’s Place in Minneapolis. A visit is planned to the Hmong Village in St. Paul and hopefully take in a Twins game. All this for $150.00 which I includes travel in a 15 passenger van with insurance and lodging. Contact person: Pastor Jane Granzow, 641-316-1046.
ALTAR GUILD: We are in need of help with Altar Guild and baking of Communion Bread for the current year. There will be a sign-up Calendar placed on the Volunteer desk. These are very rewarding ways to help prepare for our worship services and really very simple. Once we have volunteers in place we will set up times to train you and will also provide a guide, and a support/substitute list. Please prayerfully consider helping. Thank you.
MY CUP RUNNETH OVER: To all the ladies of the ELCA (that is any female of any age in the congregation). If you have been looking for the “my cup runneth over” cup it is in the Friendship Room. The thank offering from the cup goes to education for future woman pastors and other causes in the
Synod. A bit each week from all our ladies would be a blessing throughout the Synod. Thank you for what you can give.
BIBLE STUDY - SUNDAY NIGHTS 6:30-8 AT BETHANY: Our study will be Breathe by Priscilla Shirer. Contact Jennifer Hill at 641-373-0892 for more information.
