A Message From Our Pastor

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

This Sunday at the 8:15 a.m. worship, the Sonshine Choir will present special music. Since the Sonshine Choir usually sings at the 10:30 a.m. service, this will be a real treat for this worship service, and we thank Elizabeth Beal (director), Sonia Davila (accompanist), and the members of the children's choir for making this special musical presentation.

Rebuilding Together will be held this Saturday, April 28. The "Lutheran House" is located just west of the V. A. Hospital complex, off Rt. 35. (Call for directions.) Work begins at 8:00 a.m., and lunch is served between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., with working continuing into the afternoon. If you can share any time at all, your help will be greatly appreciated, as we join with other Lutheran congregations in the Dayton Conference to help a Dayton resident rehab her home.

The Youth are holding their annual MOTHERS' DAY BRUNCH on Sunday, May 6 (the week before Mothers' Day). Proceeds will go to the Youth mission work. Mark your calendars, and plan to attend!

CEREAL SATURDAY/SUNDAY
The Social Ministry Committee is asking that everyone bring breakfast cereal when you come to worship May 5/6 to stock the shelves of the New Hope Food Pantry. Add a box to the grocery cart in the narthex. Any kind you'd like to share will be welcome. Hot cereals like oatmeal or grits; cold cereals – flakes, puffs or whatever shapes you like. Any and all kinds will help feed those who are hungry.

May God bless you this week, and may we worship together this weekend.

In Christ,
Gary
