MANY MILLIE THANKS – Millie was overjoyed with the 95th birthday party after service on the fifth. Thank you to Pastor Grant and the entire congregation for all the hard work they contributed to make is such a festive occasion!! Thanks especially for the crown, nice cards, gifts and treats. It sure was a nice surprise that John, Shelly and Millie appreciated thoroughly.
POUR MYSELF A CUP OF AMBITION – we need help! No stumbling to the kitchen required. But we could use people to ‘yawn and stretch’ their way to the Fellowship Hall to assist with coffee hour. You can tumble your way out of worship and help set up, serve and/or clean up. Your efforts would be greatly appreciated and you don’t have to work 9 to 5 to do it.
QUILTERS UNTIE! – I mean unite to tie. Tie one on with the quilting group as they assemble quilts. Meet every first and third Wed of the month 9:30 to 11:30 am.
BULLETIN BOARD – please check out the bulletin board. There is a LOT of important information from the ARDC in the hallway.
JULY MOVIE NIGHT – Wed, Jul 8 at 5:30 pm will be our first movie night for the summer! 1776 will be showing!
HEARTS ON FIRE SHIRTS – if you requested a t-shirt – the shirts have arrived. And if you are in need of a Hearts on Fire shirt – we did order extra. Shirts are $20 each.
LIGHT THE FIRE – May 31, 2026 – Light the Fire for Fortune Lake. Join Faith Lutheran in Three Lakes for songs, skits, prizes, campfire and smores. Fun starts at 6:30 pm.
DOOR SIGNS – we recently acquired plastic sign frames for posting information on our doors. Please utilize these instead of taping signs. We’ve accumulated a bit of gunk on the doors and will be trying to minimize future gunk. Available in the Front Office.
BETTE MUNNS FELLOWSHIP HOUR – we will be having a special Fellowship Hour on June 14. Bette’s birthday was Jun 11. We will celebrate her life during Fellowship. Bring stories and a smile!
PIE SUNDAY MAY 31- Be a peach and bring your favorite pie next Sunday. You don’t have to lemon know what flavor you are bringing. It can be a sur-pie-z! Fruit pie, custard pie, cream pie, chiffon pie – don’t be shy ! We are big believers in all of the flavors. We will have ice cream and whip cream available in case you need to add to the plethora of goodness.
ROCK THE RAFTERS – See the insert. We are looking for your top THREE hymns to incorporate into worship during the months of July and August. Please fill out the form and place in the Blessings Bucket no later than Jun 21.
HYMN SING – You will see a ‘tear off’ page at the end of the bulletin – please use this to let us know what your top three hymns are. We will be using your suggestions for worship services in July and August.
LANDSCAPING – You may or may not have noticed the landscaping around the sign. The landscape project around the sign is complete. MK Landscaping did the work and it looks like they did a very good job. Many thanks to the family of Evora Rappold for their donation. Following are the plants that were installed. Karl Forester Reed grass, Flame Miscanthus grass, Blooming Onion, Walkers Low Catmint, Yellow Acre Sedun, Marcus Salvia and Creme Brule Potentilla. Thank you to the Property Team for overseeing this project. We will remember Evora as we pass by.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL – July 6-9 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Open to grades 1-6. Free, although donations accepted. All are invited to attend.
NOTES FROM ANN – I had some powerful thoughts on my way home from my last road trip. Of course, I didn’t take notes and have nothing to share now. The picture at the top of the page is from our little lake this past week. For some reason I awoke (without prompting) in the hour of 4. And I was rewarded with a most beautiful sunrise.
I saw an owl fly by last night at dusk. Was serenaded by Sandhill cranes this morning. I am playing “plants in / plants out” with the frost advisories this week. You know – the basic Spring in the Northwoods. We are preparing to install a grape arbor. Very excited about that. AND we are going to meet a puppy today. His name is Potato. And we might be deemed worthy enough to adopt him. If so – be prepared to see too many pup pictures in the future.
I did want to share something from the Celebration of Life I attended this past weekend. ‘Orange’ was asked a question about living life. She said she would wake up every morning and ask herself, “What wonderful thing am I going to do today?”
How perfect is that? It sets the tone for your entire day.
I ask you, what wonderful thing are YOU going to do today? And do you feel like sharing it with the rest of us? Because we would love to hear about the wonderful things happening.
