NOTES FROM THE CHURCH OFFICE:
|
Sunday is our last time to meet for this school year! We will meet in classrooms around 9:50 after the celebration in the gym to recognize all our Sunday School teachers immediately after the 8:30 service. All are welcome to come!
At 10:30, Sunday School will gather in the kindergarten classroom for one final lesson together, so you may pick your children up at 10:45 there.
Last Sunday, the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students shopped for the food pantry. They comparison shopped and using Sunday school funds, they were able to buy $500 worth of groceries for $350. Way to go!!

A good gift plan within an estate includes inheritance for family and gifts to ministry. Some might consider this a difficult task. How does an LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor help? You may wish to include a very deliberate spiritual focus on your plan. Your LCMS Foundation Associate Gift Planning Counselor is a fell member of the LCMS. They can discuss with you, pray with you, all with an eye toward uncovering God’s plan for significant use of His gifts. Contact Ray Pagels at [email protected] or his cell 847.226.2262.

FOOD PANTRY UPDATE: 184 households visited the St Paul of the Cross food pantry in March. Most needed items are paper towels, cooking oil (vegetable, canola or olive), ketchup and mac and cheese. Thank you for your continuing support!

MISSION OF THE MONTH: Military chaplains train and serve with the military units to which they are assigned, both in peacetime and during times of military conflict. Men and women in the military are often under a great deal of stress, as shown by a significant number of suicides among military personnel. Likewise, the families they leave behind experience a large amount of stress when deployments take place. Our May Mission of the Month, the LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces, is an important outreach to the men and women in the military, ministering to them with the Gospel as chaplains serve side-by-side with them.

With Great Joy
|
|
Pastor Ethan is all about JOY this week. Jesus' ascension into heaven is the exclamation point on God's rescue mission. He did it - it is finished! Now, more than ever, we know that when Jesus makes a promise, we trust it. And out of this trust comes unthinkable JOY.

Proclaiming the Known
|
|
Pastor Matt takes us to Acts 17 and an very important interaction the Apostle Paul has with the philosophers on Mars Hill in Athens. They had a monument to an "Unknown god." In our culture many people have an unknown god, but we are blessed to know the TRUE GOD! How do we interact with people to open the door …
