THANK YOU The Campus CONNECTion care packages were mailed to our college students at the beginning of May. The packages included homemade cookies, store bought treats, a $10 gas card to help them get home, and a personal note from Pastor. Thank you SO much Connie Heintz and Debbie Wilken for providing cookies for the care packages! Thank you as well Christy Lehenbauer for using a Thrivent Action Team to cover the cost of packing materials and postage!! The students LOVED the treats!

LIFE QUOTES Would you be willing to take a little bit of time on Memorial Day to do two things? One is to thank God for the successful outcomes of the sacrifices that these graves represent. Our country is a free and blessed place, and our freedom was bought at a terrible price. Second, will you rededicate yourself to sharing the good news of Jesus so that as many people as possible will be rejoicing on resurrection day”? As you think about cemeteries, realize that God has the last word: ‘Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt’ (Daniel 12:2 NIV). All Christian warriors will awake soon to new life.” Pastor Mark Jeske, Time of Grace–If you wish to support Lutherans for Life, you can through their web site www.lutheransforlife.org
LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH YEAR “Woe is me! . . I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclear lips” (Isaiah 6:5). Many among us complicit in crimes against life secretly cry Isaiah’s lament. “Behold . . . your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for” (6:7). The Gospel of God’s healing holiness speaks especially to them. How can we keep silent about it when the same fierce Spirit of Fatherhood and Sonship so fills us. Loving Father, Son, and Spirit, send us to prophesy of Your eternal life. Amen. (Holy Trinity)
