Pastor Ned's Message
Sunday Message: “Blessed with a Burden”

      Her name was Phyllis. Every year like clockwork, she was at my office door; simultaneously knocking and marching in to make her case for Crop Walk.
     “Pastor, the packet came this week!” she would announce. Sitting down at the table and spreading out the paperwork for the next hour or so, she would lay out her strategy for how this year’s Crop Walk to end world hunger, would be bigger and better than the last. I don’t know when, where, or how it started, but Phyllis was bent on single-handedly ending hunger. A passion she championed with zeal, tirelessly recruiting as many volunteers, sponsors, & walkers as she possibly could. 
      Take a look around our world. What bothers you? What injustice…what brokenness…what pain burdens your heart? Could that burden be God-given? Could that burden even be…a blessing in disguise?
      This weekend’s theme in our, ‘Blessed,’ preaching series: “Blessed with a Burden.” 

Living for Jesus!

May
Mission:
Community

         This will be LW’s fourth summer of helping provide an outlet for children, parents, and grandparents alike from the summer heat. Ordinarily the Splashpad costs $2 per child, per day, but on the days we sponsor, the Cameron Splashpad is free to all!  
          This year there are two different ways you can support this mission:
          First, any money collected during May will go to purchasing free Living Water Days. LW Days are very popular and each of the last two years 3000 kids received free admission, thanks to your generosity.
          Second, sponsor the Splashpad for a day. Make a donation of $80, (checks made payable to LW or cash) along with a note on how you want the day to be designated. We will work with the City to have those days designated as "Free today thanks to the XYZ Family". We cannot pick our days and the rate only applies to Mondays-Fridays. The $80 is the cities actual cost of running the park for a day (electricity, water and wages).
          As always thanks for your great support of the missions of this church and our outreach efforts. This is one which directly helps this town. 
God Bless you. Mark Palma, LW Missions Leader
Keep up-to-date with the

Breeze Party – 5:30-7pm, Tuesday, May 28
       This Tuesday evening we invite you a Breeze Party! Our goal: populate all the families in our database with matching pictures. We’ll be ordering out for sandwiches. All you need is a laptop and your appetite. We’ll be working as a group to ensure our work is both accurate and complete. 
       Please RSVP to Lindsey Kolpack: lindsey.ellenbecker@gmail,com
Blessing of the Graduates-This Sunday
         This weekend Living Water is privileged to give our four graduates; Hannah Gillett, Zach Strickland, Brandon Kurshinsky, and Julia Murphy, a unique and essential gift - one that cannot be wrapped, boxed, or shipped - only treasured and enjoyed.
      We will gather around, lay hands on, and ask God to bless these special children for the journey each one will travel as they leave the halls of high school, for roads yet unknown. Please join us! 
Summer JAM
       Join us this summer on Sundays for Power Up Kid’s Camp: crafts, outdoor activities, VBS themed curriculum, etc. Camp is very laid back and will happen at the regular JAM time. The yellow room is always open for the littles. No registration necessary. Please join us when you can. Happy Summer!
 
Community Garden - 6 Beds Left!
    Checked out the new LW Community Garden? The beds are completed, the posts set, the chips spread. We’re almost there!! What’s next? Dirt! To be delivered & deposited soon (by June 1 ). If you’d like one of the remaining 6 beds, please contact Renelle at:   Renelle.Gill@witc.edu
 
Serving Others Project: Woodchips to Trees
          Last weekend Kooper Mense completed his Confirmation Serving Others project: planting new trees to serve as a windbreak along the north property line. We can’t wait to see what they’ll look like in 5-10 years! 

          A few days ago, we received a generous donation of wood chips (deposited by the Community Garden) . Anyone having a wheelbarrow, pitchfork, and a few hours to spare, is more than welcome to dress the trees. 

New Church Mower
          Our old mower served us well…until it couldn't! We’re purchasing a new riding mower for our church home and need your help reaching a goal of $6,000 before the end of the this month. Please send contributions to: Living Water Church, P.O. Box 221, Cameron, WI 54822.  No offering is too small or large!
