Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class
This week in Bible class we look at Luke 13:1-13 and John 16:23-33 where Jesus teaches us to pray. We learn that we sin by not trusting God and failing to pray to Him for all things. But God promises to hear our prayers because of His Son, Jesus, and to do what is best and good for us.
Stewardship Sentence
Proverbs 9:9 "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning." We need the Lord's instruction and wisdom. We just don't know enough on our own. It seems foolishness to the world that Christians drop their hard earned money into the collection plate every week. They just don't see a benefit to the preaching of the Word, the administration of the Sacraments, the sending of missionaries, or the educating of children in the faith. But from the Lord's instruction and Wisdom we know better. Giving teaches us generosity; the work of the Church is the salvation of mankind and we are blessed to be called to participate in it in this way.

Outreach
VBS Volunteer Orientation
Thank you for all who have volunteered to help with VBS. We will have a one hour orientation meeting on Sunday, June 5 at 4:00pm. Please plan to attend. Come earlier and help us decorate. See you then.
Thank You to VBS Volunteers
As we begin our Barnyard Roundup VBS we need to thank all of our volunteers who make this possible. Thank you for your work that makes this possible.
Thank you for VBS Donations
Another thank you goes out to all who donated VBS snacks. What a wonderful response! You have guaranteed no grumbling tummies this week. Thanks again. Thank you to all who have taken cards for VBS snacks. The response has been great. Just a few cards remain on the bulletin board by the church entrance. If you can pick up one of these remaining items for VBS, please take the card and then bring in the item before June 6. Thanks again.

Rummage Sale--Save the Date!
It is getting close to time for our annual rummage sale. Items can be brought to the gym beginning on Sunday, June 12. Sign up on the volunteer sign-up sheet on the kiosk.

Pennies for Pipes
The Pipes are calling! It seems that the time has come for the "semi-centennial" (every 50 years or so), check-up (lubricating) of the organ pipes, which has been scheduled for July of this year. In an effort to help defray some of this expense, we will place a large jar on the table in the back of the Sanctuary in an effort to collect "loose change" or those pennies from heaven to help achieve this goal. Apparently this endeavor is terribly labor intensive, so in a small way we can all contribute to this expense. Thank you to all young and old for your help.

Knoble Knotters
Thanks very much the person who gave us the flannel fabric. If you are getting rid of sheets, we can use them too. We aren't meeting this June, July and August, but still need large pieces of fabric.

Church Work Days - Help Needed!
We have several opportunities for volunteering coming up in June and July!
Paint Day
- When: Saturday, June 11 -- 8:30am to 11:00am
- What: With enough volunteers we can freshen up interior walls for next school year.
- Sign up here.
De-construction Day
- When: Two choices...Saturday, July 2 and/or Saturday, July 9 -- 8:30am to 11:00am
- What: We need to tear up well worn carpeting and some tile in the Parish House to prepare these surfaces to save money for new covering scheduled to be installed later in the month. Depending on the number of volunteers and the difficulty of the work (to be discovered only when we start ) we may not need two days
- Sign up here.
If you have trouble signing up for either work day, please call Michelle in the church office (314-966-3220) to be added to the volunteer list. Thank you!
