Second Sunday after Pentecost
June 7 - 13, 2026
Weekly Announcements
Stewardship Notes: Second Sunday after Pentecost – Matthew 9:9 – “As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him.” When Jesus talks, Matthew listens and acts. Jesus says, “Follow me,” and Matthew follows. What does this tell us about Matthew? It tells us that he believes in Jesus. Our actions flow out of our faith. Show me what a man does, and I’ll tell you what he really believes. Our sinful actions uncover our false beliefs and our need for repentance and a return to the forgiveness we find in Jesus. Our godly actions display our faith in Jesus. What kind of faith (or false belief) do your financial actions display?
Welcome Visitors – we are blessed to have you join us for Divine Service today. We kindly request you sign our Guest Book at the back of the church and/or fill out a Welcome Card and place it in the offering plate. Thank You.
Today – Party for Pastor and family. All are welcome! If you didn’t bring any food, that’s okay. They don’t need presents – just your “presence.”
Last Sunday – Approximately 30 people attended the reception for Katelyn. She appreciated your attendance. The party committee “thanks all who donated food and all who helped with clean up.”
Chime choir - Thanks for playing last Sunday: Pyle brothers, Snyder brothers, and Ms. Lisa for directing. To God Be the Glory!
Sunday School Attendance Awards – 3rd Quarter (March to May) Perfect: Nobody; Missed 1 or 2 days: Anna Collins and Gabe Pyle. Offering for the year: $114.00 to Lutheran Braille Workers. LCEF total will be in next week’s bulletin.
LCEF Youth Savings Accounts – Today is the last day until September for parents and Connecting Generations adults to donate $ to be added. s/Ms. Freda
June Calendar – No Host Lunch is on the 23rd of June, not the 16th. It has been postponed for one week.
Donation Drive for Orphan Grain Train – If you didn’t pick up a donation list last Sunday, pick one up today. In a folder on back pew. Today’s items were bath towel and/or hand towel. Table in the basement for donations. Next Sunday: wash cloth, toothbrush, bath soap. Don’t need to do all three.
Uffda – last Sunday, I forgot to take the Mite Box up. So, if you’re reading this before church starts, it would be great if you could donate some spare change for LWML Mission projects. Last Sunday’s mites totaled $108.56. Thanks! Ms. Freda
