We see a welcoming family, living the Gospel of Grace. We see a family where people can safely seek, question, and be revived. We see a family energized by the Spirit alive in our midst.

Ju
ne 3 is Pastor Sue's last day!
Pastor Sue has been a blessing to us!
Thank you -- Pastor Sue. Blessings on you in your next adventure!

Noisy Offering
Once a month after the Children's Message, the youth will have a "noisy offering." They will pass a container to collect coins (or bills) from the congregation. Our Youth will use this offering to "buy" gifts (Doctor appointment, piglet, chicks, etc.) thru the ELCA Good Gift Program. Watch for the next noisy offering, and please give generously!

We are invited to join St. Paul's for a Fireside Theater outing on Saturday June 23 - leaving the church at 9 a.m. and returning around 5:30 p.m.

During the month of June, we are invited to join St. Paul's in collecting items to make up six layette bags for the Shalom Center. There is a collection basket in the narthex.
We will be collecting items for a new baby. Please try to make items as gender neutral as possible. Items can be new or gently used. There is a board in the narthex listing the types of baby items being collected.

Quilt Club -The Quilt Club is currently taking a break. Questions:
First Impressions - We know that first impressions are important and Spirit Alive wants to welcome ALL people and let nothing get in the way of that. Everything from Greeters to Ushers to Information Table to following up with guests...this team is a BIG part of welcoming God's people on Sunday morning. There are many tasks to be accomplished, but even if you simply want to be a friendly face and a welcoming smile, then let us know and join the 1st Impressions effort!
Care Team -
A big part of our walk with God is caring for each other. The Care Team visits members in their homes, the hospital and wherever they need us to offer spiritual support, prayer and communion. Are you interested in learning how to care for others in a Christian Community in this way? Maybe God is calling you to this ministry but you don't know how to start. Join US! Your care team members are ... Carl Johnson, Donna Johnson, Donna Jensen, Joan Hisel, Karen Thomas, and Becky Tucker. For all spiritual care requests please call Donna Johnson at 262.605.4830 or [email protected].
