Kimberly Duke -

Deacon Commissioning

Sunday

@10am Worship

Kimberly Duke is a child of God, mother to JoAnn, daughter to Samantha & Bill Schnittker, sister to Jennifer, Elaine, Jamie and Nick. Partner to Nick Sperry. She was born and raised in Naperville, IL where she attended Our Savior's Lutheran Church.

Kimberly has always had deep roots in her faith and in the Lutheran church. She is extremely involved in her community and loves her job as CMO & VP of Sales at LIDP. When not working or at church you will find her on the water, kayaking, boating, or with her nose in a book.

Kimberly lives with a motto of “live on purpose” meaning for her - that she gets to purposefully choose joy, kindness, and to be a servant to her creator. Choosing a life of purpose for others. Choosing to live as God intended -

to share all of His glory and His salvation for a world that needs it.

Redesigned Landscaping!

The landscaping around the front of the church and the church office has been "redesigned" and "recycled".

The plantings in front of the church were constantly blocking the illuminated sign so they were replanted around the playground and the office parking lot - where the plantings were VERY old.

New plantings have been placed

in front of the church.

Many thanks to John Verost and his crew from Vero's Complete Landscaping for a

job well done.

It looks wonderful!

Barb's Medical Minute

I feel that most of us are a little worried about our memory. (It’s not just me, right?) Are we experiencing normal forgetfulness or is it beginning stages of Alzheimer's/ Dementia?

One way to prevent or at least postpone the latter is DON’T GET IN A RUT!! The more you do, the better you are. I’m not saying you have to constantly be physically active, just be engaged in a variety of different things. A recent study showed that older adults who regularly engaged in the widest array of activities were the least likely to see memory decline. This can be anything from visiting with family and friends, to doing a jigsaw or crossword puzzle to reading a book or playing a game. The more DIFFERENT things you do the better.

See, variety IS the spice of life!

Shirley Darrington, Bernice Gehrls, Pam Neal, Jan Quinn, Lore Smith, and Dianne VanderKraats.

Prayers for family and friends of Daniel Bell, who passed away May 12th. Arrangements pending.
