LEAN ON ME – When you’re not strong. Well, you don’t have to be too strong to help out during coffee hour. Though it does help to be able to carry two carafes at one time. And share the load. You don’t have to do it all. Wash dishes. Bring in a treat. Set up. You just call on me brother – oh – we are definitely calling. Calling on our brothers and our sisters.. When you need a hand We definitely do need a hand. We all need somebody to lean on. Even God’s Work – Our Hands needs an assist every now and then.
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.

HEARTS ON FIRE SHIRTS –If you are in need of a Hearts on Fire shirt – we did order extra. Shirts are $20 each. And they are more soft than the first round of shirts.
LIGHT THE FIRE – TODAY – Light the Fire for Fortune Lake. Join Fortune Lake at Faith Lutheran in Three Lakes for songs, skits, prizes, campfire and smores. Fun starts at 6:30 pm. Many thanks to Faith Lutheran for hosting the event.

PIE SUNDAY IS TODAY – Join us after Worship in the Fellowship Hall for a pie-tastic time!
ROCK THE RAFTERS – See the yellow form in the Narthex. 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.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL – At Faith Lutheran Church in Three Lakes. 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.
CHRISTMAS IN JULY – Calling all crafters and non-crafters alike—everyone is welcome! No experience necessary, just bring your creativity (or curiosity!) and a festive spirit. Join Shayne Wilfer in the fellowship hall after worship May 31 and June 6 for a fun, hands-on ornament-making session. She’ll be there to guide you step-by-step and show just how easy (and enjoyable!) it is to create something beautiful.
Keep an eye out in July for the Endowment Tree, which will be displayed in the Narthex and filled with these lovely handmade ornaments. When it appears, you’re invited to take an ornament home and make a donation to the Prince of Peace Endowment Fund. Come for the fellowship, stay for the fun, and help us make this Christmas in July extra special!
INCREDIBLEBANK – truly is INCREDIBLE! Their foundation recently approved a grant of $2,500 to fund our Weekend Backpack Program. This local bank does so much for our community. We appreciate their commitment.
FUN FACT – the nave is the main seating area for the congregation. And I found this cool etymology meme regarding the word “nave”. And here’s another fun fact about ships – Pastor Grant and his family will be sailing on the Norwegian Bliss exploring Alaska from Jun 5 – Jun 14. (This part will make sense when you look at the image below)
NOTES FROM ANN – I went on a hunt for pie recipes yesterday. And was talking to Burt about it over dinner. I had found my raspberry tart recipe; a tart and sweet lemon raspberry pie recipe and a new one to me – a Cherry Almond Mousse pie – that sounded amazing. He quickly vetoed all of those in favor of the flavor of grape pie. So grape pie will still be the first option – here’s hoping it works out.
Speaking of wonderful things – Rachel Strong went for a run this past week and met a brand new neighbor! She even sent me a video. This little fawn was brand spanking new!
We did hit a bit of a snafu with the insulation project. The project hasn’t been completed as of yet – so stay tuned for a future closing. Nothing major – the crew that showed up wasn’t ready for the size of the job is all. Property Team has everything under control. Also – some clarification as to why we had to be out of the church – it wasn’t a dust issue – it was a fumes issue with the spray foam. Ann on caffeine is enough. Ann on caffeine and chemical fumes? That is some next level stuff.
This week’s word search has to do with things in threes. I found a funny joke that I tried to incorporate into the word search, but I had to take it out after I had to explain it. I’ll share it here though – because it is a definitely a joke that Jon Cook would appreciate.
Did you know that Captain Kirk had 3 ears? A left ear, a right ear and the final front ear!!
Made me giggle.
H’ears hoping something this week makes you smile – a something that makes you want to share it.
