Praise for the Bag Ladies!

From Heidi Manzone...

I was talking to a children's counselor at Hubbard House last night (she is with the Children's Program there and works with and assesses the children) and she was raving about the Bag Ladies (before knowing I was involved). She mentioned various items specifically and said how helpful they are to the children. For example, she mentioned the flashlights and said that they offer comfort to the children who are down there as they give them light in this strange new place. I told her I was part of the Bag Ladies and that that is exactly why the flashlights are there because Douglas, who was four, brought his little toy lantern when we went down there and kept it on all night for comfort. She went on to mention other items and just, overall, said the bags are such a blessing and the children just light up when they receive them.

So, I wanted to thank all of you for your continued work and support and to let you know that what we are doing is truly appreciated and is really doing a lot of good.

If you are interested in more information or in joining the Bag Ladies, please contact Ann Sory Meadows or stop by their next meeting on Saturday, June 10, at 9:00 am in Benz Hall.

Where is God when tragedy and suffering strike?

When the ground shakes, and a poor nation's economy is destroyed; when the waters rise, washing away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations, where is God? If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to mar his creation?

In Why?, best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, he lays out core ideas for comprehending God's plan for the world.

​No registration or sign up required to attend.

Summer Service of Renewal

Summer and refreshment are two things that seem to go together, and this summer you are invited to seek spiritual refreshment in a series of special Services for renewal. These informal services will be held in the sanctuary at 4:30 pm on the 4th Sundays of June, July, and August. The services will include music (led by the praise band), prayers, a brief Biblical reflection, and communion together. These services are being offered to create a sacred space in which we can wait on the Lord, listen for his voice, practice confession, and receive God’s mercy. The seeking, the weary, the hungry, the lonely, the eager, the committed, the curious, the doubters, the debtors - ALL are welcome and invited to join us for this time. Please come!

When: June 25, July 30, & August 27

Time: 4:30 pm

Where: LPC Sanctuary

Happy Birthday!
