Announcements for May 18 2025

Altar Flowers
Jim and Bonnie Stevens made a donation to the roofing project in lieu of providing altar flowers today.

Noisy Offering
Today’s noisy offering will benefit NovusWay, Inc., a ministry affiliated with the ELCA. It operates three camps for summer programming: Lutheridge, Lutherock, and Luther Springs.

Roofing Project
Mays Contracting recommended adding sheathing to the roofs of the Sunday School building and the church. The additional cost is $11,245, which brings the total cost for the roofing project to $56,519. This is $6,519 more than the amount approved by the congregation with the understanding that unknown costs might be incurred once the work was begun.
Donations toward this project are welcomed to reduce the amount that must be funded from savings. Please note “Roofing Project” in the memo section of your check or through online giving.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)
VBS will be held June 2-5. Please invite children to join us for fun and learning! We need snacks for Monday through Wednesday. The closing program will be held on Thursday, and guests are asked to bring drinks and desserts. A sign-up sheet for snacks and the hotdog supper is posted in the narthex, or you may let Pastor Michele or Jan Samson know what refreshments you will provide.

Ravi Ortiz’s First Birthday Party
The congregation is invited to attend Ravi Ortiz’s first birthday party on Saturday, June 14 at 3:00 P.M. in the Fellowship Hall. Ravi is the son of Romita Rajasekaran and Victor Ortiz. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Romita by text or phone call at (803) 727-6474 by June 1, so that an approximate count can be provided to the caterer.
