WORSHIP AND QUARTERLY MEETING – MAY 5TH
The quarterly voters’ meeting will take place today, May 5, at 10:00am. Agenda items include updates on different areas of our ministry, membership changes, and approval of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. All members, voting and non-voting are encouraged to attend.
DIVINE CALL
On Sunday, April 28, the voters of the congregation called Pastor Matthew Kuske to serve as our pastor. Pastor Kuske is currently serving the dual parish of St. Paul’s and St. Luke’s in Lomira, WI. Please keep Pastor Kuske and his family in prayer as they deliberate both his current call and the call to serve here.
CHANGE FOR LIFE
Again, this year, our congregation is participating in the Change for Life Program to support the ministry of New Beginnings – A Home for Mothers. New Beginnings is a WELS based ministry that helps single mothers pave the way to self-sufficiency in a Christ-centered home. Look for the Change for Life display on May 12. Pick up a baby bottle, take it home and have everyone in your household fill it with their spare change. On Father’s Day, return the filled bottle to church where the money collected will be sent to help the mothers and babies at New Beginnings.
NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WORSHIP, MUSIC AND THE ARTS
Save the date for the 2024 National Conference on Worship, Music, and the Arts, held July 30-August 2, 2024, at Carthage College, Kenosha, Wis. The worship conference offers something for everyone. It’s not only for pastors and musicians but also for lay people who love worship and want to encourage worship enrichment in their congregations. The theme of the conference is Sing a New Song to the Lord. While the song of the gospel is always new, this conference will make extensive use of new songs from the 2021 WELS hymnal and beyond. Online registration runs through July 21. Early-bird rates have been extended until May 20. Learn more at welsworshipconference.net.
CONFIRMATION INFORMATIONAL MEETING
There will be an informational meeting on confirmation offered later this month. The presentation will cover some of the history of confirmation as a practice, as well as provide information about our new youth confirmation program introduced last summer. This meeting will be offered twice: May 12, 5:00pm, Hillsboro Campus; May 15, 6:30pm, Wonewoc Campus.
