  April 16, 2026 With several vestry members completing their terms at January's Annual Meeting, a new secretary was needed. Thank you Charlie Kennedy for your willingness to step up and serve! With all of the planning and hard work that went into Holy Week, thank-you’s are in order! Please join me in thanking leaders on the Altar Guild, as well as those who held various worship leader responsibilities during the intense (and hopefully meaningful) days of Holy Week. ~Rev.

Birthdays: Erik Peterson April 24 Anniversaries: Diane & Mike Morrison April 17 There will be a meeting for Sack Lunch Ministry members, Wednesday evening, April 22nd at 5:30pm, in the Parish Hall. Supper will be provided. We encourage all current volunteers, and anyone interested, to join us to share ideas about our current program, and to discuss how this ministry may be most beneficial going forward. It’s now time to celebrate our graduating High School seniors. The names we have include: Elliot Selzer, Nate Kelley, Laney Bohl, Saydee Peterson, and Tayen Feather Earring. If you know of any other graduates in our church, please call the office 632-4726 or Barb Manasek 672-9654, so we can invite them to our Graduation Reception on May 10th following the 9:00am service in the Parish Hall. As we wrap up the United Thank Offering drive for the year, I would like to leave this thought with you. United Thank Offering is year 'round. It is giving thanks every day for the many blessings. In turn, we share it with others who are less fortunate that we are. You don't need to wait until the little blue boxes appear. Thankfulness is a daily occurrence. Thank you to all who have already shared their blue box of blessings. Please watch for an announcement for our final ingathering so that we can bless what we have collected and pass our blessings on to others. Jenny Bohl Prayer requests need to be received by Tuesday, if you’d like them to be printed in the bulletin. You may call (308) 632-4626 (leave a message) or email. The Forward Day by Day’s for May-July are available in regular and large print. If you’d like either of these mailed to you, please email us or call the church office. Comments are closed.
