BULLETIN NOTES
Thanks to Lawrence Stewart for reading scripture this morning.
Thanks to the family of Janet Kemp for the beautiful flowers for our service this morning.
Thanks to all who helped arrange the reception following the Kemp memorial service last Thursday. Thanks, too, to those who brought food! The family most appreciates it.
Thanks to those who helped clean the church grounds yesterday. Your hard work is most appreciated.
Wednesday nights at 7:00, we are studying a new series on Exploring Our Faith. This is an excellent vehicle for discussion of faith issues. Please plan to be present.
There will be no choir rehearsal this week.
Refugee Family Needs Do you have blankets, comforters, towels, telephones, alarm clocks, extra dishes, pots and pans, cutting boards, or shower curtains with rings that you are not using because you have changed the color of your bathroom or bedroom or you tired of a particular item? All of these items can be used by more than 150 refugee families that are coming to Milwaukee in the next few months. Check your linen closet! Refugees don't care it towels don't match or bedding isn't color coordinated. If you would like to purchase bottles of dish soap, cleansers, laundry detergent, shampoo, brooms, kitchen sponges, scissors, light bulbs, Pick 'n Save gift cards, or can openers, these are all needed. We have been given so much! Let's share from our abundance. Bring these items to the church and they will be delivered to Lutheran Social Services. If you have furniture, please call Ako at 414-325-3063. Thanks!
Cents for Seniors Shoreline Interfaith is again collecting coins to be used for their senior services here in the North Shore area. The box on the table in the narthex and you are encouraged to drop your change into the box. (Bills will also be accepted.) This is a small way we can help without missing it!
We will celebrate May birthdays next Sunday. Those with birthdays are Lawrence Stewart, Judy Cyganek, and Blake Winfree.
The Roundy Round Table Book Club will meet Tuesday, May 6, at 1:00 in the Party Room at the 9100 building of White Oak Apartments. The book to be discussed is Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez. Chris Leitner will be the hostess. All are welcome to join in this discussion.
