We're looking for "in honor of" or "in memory of" donations to purchase geraniums and fillers for Pentecost and Memorial Day. You can send in a check or give online (click

). Remember to let us know who you are honoring with the donation.
Also, if anyone is thinning out their perennials and willing to donate some of them to the church, please do so! Tina and Theresa love to work on the grounds to make the outside of church as beautiful as the inside.

Pause, breathe deeply and reflect ...

We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
l John 4:13, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, we thank you with all our hearts because we know you are holding us by your hand and leading us on all our ways, in spite of all contradiction, strife, distress, and confusion within ourselves. What are all these compared to your love, which does not let us go but watches over us and finally brings us to what is good? Release us from our many burdens. Free our spirits and our souls more and more until we can do nothing but give praise and thanks with heart, soul, and strength for all you are to us. Amen
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
