Time to Party!
We have a number of things to celebrate on Sunday.
First, it is the festival of Pentecost where we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit...one tradition we have at Joy is to all
wear something red to worship. So I encourage you to do so.
Second, we have come to the end of a year of Faith Formation classes and we are very thankful to Christy for organizing and training our leaders and thankful to all the teachers and helpers who helped our young people grow in faith this year. To help celebrate we will be having a
Potluck Dinner at 11:30 - following our late worship service. Please join, even if you can't bring food, there is always more than enough and Kelly will be preparing some favorites from our Wed. night dinners.
Third, after many years of directed two of our ensemble music groups, Sing4Joy and Joy Unlimited,
Karen Lundgaard will be retiring. We are so thankful for her many years of selfless service, choosing, rehearsing, accompanying and directing the groups that have so blessed us with their musical message. THANK YOU Karen.

From Joy's Library Committee
God touches each of us in many ways, but not everyone recognizes those times in their lives. During May and June, the library is promoting true stories, real life experiences, autobiographies and biographies. Check out the bulletin board for a few book and movie selections found in the library. There are many more excellent reads and movies on the library shelves. Enjoy! Joy Library Committee.

Please Donate to the Spring Mission Project: Turning Point Shelter
It's time to begin donating to the Spring Mission Project. Our church will be collecting items for the Turning Point Shelter which provides support and resources for victims of domestic and sexual violence through its two centers-one in River Falls and one in New Richmond.
One in three women will experience domestic violence so the need for services is great. The more sites and resources that are available to people, the more likely people are to get help and find safety for themselves and their family. Turning Point provides a number of services including a crisis shelter, sexual assault crisis support, 24-hour hotline and text hotline, safety planning, individual advocacy, support groups for victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence, legal system advocacy, and prevention education programs. Please consult the poster board in the Narthex for a listing of current needs and wish lists from Turning Point. Food items, hygiene supplies, cleaning supplies, and general shelter necessities are needed. Thank you for your help with this project!
