Learning to Trust
This morning we are thankful for work of the Gideons. And we recognize God’s faithfulness as we pray for our graduates. Pastor Jim Renke will wrap up our journey in 1 Peter, by reflecting on how we can trust God to help us live faithfully as exiles in the world, as members of another kingdom, who are awaiting God’s final deliverance.
General Announcements
First Hour Classes: This summer, various leaders will guide us in studying and reflecting on various “Issues in Contemporary Society.” These topics are especially important at this time.

April showers have come and May flowers have started to bloom, which means that the grass is growing. So we are looking for volunteers to help cut the grass. It is a great way to serve the church. It only takes about one hour to do the job. If you are interested in helping please contact Don Englund at donaldenglund@yahoo.com. The more volunteers we have the fewer times each of us will have to mow the lawn!
And looking ahead: Save the date, Sunday, June 23, VCL picnic following the morning service!
