Our Mission: Loving God . . . Loving People . . . Reaching Out!

Please remember in prayer:
Pr. Mike Sorsen Leonard Doffin Karl Reeder
Bonnie Sykes Ivan Waggoner Edie Jensen


If you know someone who is in need of prayer but whose name is not listed, it may be that
they have asked not to be included in the printed bulletin. Please remember them in your
personal prayers.

Flowers on the altar this quiet July weekend are sponsored by Gayle & Donna Short
in honor of Kevin & Kimberly Kellers wedding anniversary; and by Carolyn Wilcox for
the many blessings received.

If you are hospitalized, PLEASE CALL THE CHURCH to let us know and PLEASE ASK to
be added to the Lutheran List. This will help our hospital visitors, pastors and
Jacquie Samway (Coordinator of Congregational Care) find you when hospitalized.


There are still lots of places where you can help with Vacation Bible
School volunteering to help lead or assist with nightly activities,
donating requested items by picking up a camel sheet and returning the
items to the church office, or giving a cash donation to help purchase the
items needed for the week. Any way you can help is appreciated.
Contact Jolene Ziebell at the church office if you have questions or would
like to volunteer! 402.371.1985.


A set of house keys found in the west parking lot have been turned in to the office.
Contact the office @ 402-371-1985 if you have recently been locked out!
