We have so many blessings!
On June 18th, we said a special thank you to our Sunday School teachers, our faithful choir, our Council Members, and those graduation from high school, college, and graduate school. Please remember all in your prayers of thanksgiving for their service to our church family, and for the graduates as they take on the next challenges in their lives.
What a Beautiful Service of Confirmation on June 10th! We celebrated 8 of our young people affirm their baptisms. Such a wonderful sight to see family, extended family, friends and our church family celebrate the gifts these confirmands bring to our worship.
Thank you for coming to the CtK Flea Market on June 3rd! Lots of treasures changed hands, lots of snacks and drinks consumed! Thanks to Don Corwin and the army of hardworking volunteers that made the day such a success!

The focus of our Congregational Meeting was
"Having a Heart for God"
Throughout the month of June we will be focusing on ways that we have a heart for each other and expressing that love in a spiritual practice.
You are invited to speak with someone who you do not know well and to look around the sanctuary and see who is missing. Give them a call or send them a note.
Let them know that you missed them.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart...
This is the greatest and first commandment."
Matthew 22: 37-38

A box for donating gently used items in is the fellowship hall.
Help the Lutheran Disaster Relief Fight Famine in South Sudan Right now 7 million of our brothers and sisters in South Sudan need humanitarian aid.
That means that almost every dollar you give goes to help the cause and not to pay salaries or other "overhead."
Commit to Living out Your Baptism Do you intend to continue in the
covenant God made with you in holy baptism: to live among God’s faithful people, to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper, to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed, to serve all people, following the example of Jesus,
and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth?
We do! and ask God to help and guide us.
Think and Pray about Racism.
Listen to Bishop Eaton's Call to be Present. click here Read the ELCA Social Statement on Race, Ethnicity and Culture: click here
Pray:
O God, call us into a deeper relationship to be your church for the sake of the world. Help us to see
with new eyes the injustices within church and society. Call us to have a loving heart that respects and uplifts the humanity and dignity of every person. Open our ears to listen to and learn from the
experiences of people of color. Open our mouths to speak up about injustices. Join us with others
to work for racial equity and opportunity and full inclusion in for all people. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen

The Church confesses Christ, who has broken down the dividing wall (Ephesians 2:14). Christ, our
peace, has put an end to the hostility of race, ethnicity, gender, and economic class. The Church
proclaims Christ, confident this good news sets at liberty those captive behind walls of hostility
(cf. Luke 4:18).
