Today in Sunday School: As it was for Peter, so it is for us is the message (Acts 12). The Word of God is never proclaimed in vain. Though we suffer because of the sin of others, God’s will is done. Talk to your children about modern day persecution of the church of God and how, even in the midst of persecution, God sustains and increases His Church. How does God’s Word break through the chains of our sin and the suffering it causes?
CHRISTOLOGICAL CREEDAL, CONFESSIONAL... Issues, Etc. is a radio talk show hosted by LCMS Pastor Todd Wilken and produced by Lutheran Public Radio.

Congratulations! On Friday, May 20th, both Trevor Mankin and Gail Ludvigson graduated from the Fort Wayne Seminary. We wish them God’s blessing on this great accomplishment. Exciting things are in their futures. While Trevor prepares for his return to Messiah Lutheran Church, Gail is seeking placement with Lutheran Bible Translators in Aurora, Illinois. Please look on the upstairs bulletin board for Trevor’s acceptance letter.
How you can serve in your church
New schedules will be coming out in the end of June. Would you like to serve in your church? There are many ways and opportunities you can help.
Children’s Message presenter: You are given helpful messages for your assigned Sunday to assist you in your short 3 minute presentation to the children. (Must be approved by Pastor)
Transportation: We have local members who require a ride to church. This usually would take one Sunday a month per driver.
Readers: Reading the weekly lesson during the service. Each reader is mailed their readings in advance to practice, high school age and above.
Ushers: Join a current team of ushers. It’s a simple but important job! High schoolers too!
Greeters: It is always nice to be greeted at the door and warmly welcomed. Have a “touch” phobia? That’s okay, there is no need to shake hands, just give a warm welcome.(High school and above)
Cookie Makers: Love to make cookies and enjoy the smiles of buyers? We would like to fill in a few holes in our rotation. You don’t have to stay for both services if we can get enough helpers. Its as simple as placing frozen dough on a sheet, baking and packaging.
If you would like to serve your church, please contact the church office by June 12 at 206.524.0024.
Please remember.... Many hands make the work light.
