CHURCH OFFICES Will Be closed tomorrow for Memorial Day. The National Moment of Remembrace is from 3:00-3:05 tomorrow. Consider taking 5 minutes then to remember those who gave up their lives for our freedoms.
DOOR OFFERING TODAY Zion Lutheran Church of Avilla in Alexander, AR suffered a devestating fire early Monday morning. The offices and pantry area and chapel were destroyed. We are taking a door offering to help them buy new refrigerators and freezers to keep their food pantry ministry open. Donations to help sustain Zion Lutheran's Food Pantry Ministry may be sent to: Mid-South District, LCMS/1675 Wynne Road/Cordova, TN 38016. Payable to "Mid-South District," designated for "Disaster Relief“
PENTECOST is next Sunday. We encourage you to to wear red next week.
FEED MY SHEEP is next Sunday, June 4th. We received a huge shipment of food for the pantry from the Postal Office Food Drive that was held a couple of weeks ago. Our greatest need currently are bottles of shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, bars of soap, laundry detergent, and diapers of any size and wipes. These are items that we cannot purchase thru the food bank so donations of these items would be greatly appreciated.
THE LUTHERAN HOUR Today on KURM (790AM) at 12:30 and The Bott Radio Network at 8AM on 89.3FM.
“The Best Of Things In The Worst Of Times” Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus

LUTHER QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
We have the comfort of this victory in Christ-that he maintains his church against the wrath and power of the devil. The hardest part is that we must see and suffer all things from those who call themselves the people of God and the Christian Church. We must learn to accept these things calmly, for neither Christ nor the saints have fared better. (Church Postils, Exaudi Nos)
FELLOWSHIP GROUP EVALUATION The Education team would like to thank those who are in charge of a Bible study, Ministry team, or Activity group for your service! Cameron and the Education team have been tasked with the evaluation of how many of our members are involved in a fellowship group at Holy Trinity. It is part of a goal within our three year plan. If you could please report to the Education team the names of the members of your group who have attended within the 2017 year we would really appreciate it. Thank you.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL-
JULY 30TH-AUGUST 3RD
Are you ready for an action packed Vacation Bible School! This years theme is “ Maker Fun Factory”-Created by God, Built for a Purpose.” It is looking like it is going to be a blast and the Education team is asking for your help. If you are interested in what roles are available, talk to Cameron or the Ed team and we will get you connected. There will also be a VBS planning and information meeting on JUNE 4th in the Chapel after second service.
LIFE QUOTES “God has given this walk of life, fatherhood, motherhood, a special position of honor, higher than that of any walk of life under it. He distinguishes father and mother above all persons on earth, and places them next to Himself.”-Martin Luther in the Large Catechism- *A Life Quote from Luterans For Life*- If you want to support Lutherans For Life, you may do so through their web site: www.lutheransforlife.org
