Announcements
for the week beginning
April 23, 2006
St.
Peter's Lutheran Church--Davenport, NE
We are grateful for the love, care, and concern we've
received since my cancer diagnosis. Your prayers, cards, gifts, visits,
hugs, and all the kindnesses are greatly appreciated. God has richly
blessed us through your words of encouragement and we ask for your continued
prayers. May His love and grace bless each of you. Thank You!
Virginia and Jerry Brase
Thank you to all who helped us with the
Easter Breakfast, providing food, time and talents, and to everyone who
joined us to celebrate Christ’s resurrection that day. We appreciate your
support of our group.
Active Christian Teens
LWML on Thursday,
May 4 will be at 6:30 PM for a Salad Supper. We extend an invitation to
all ladies of the congregation to please be our guests! LWML
The Constitution
Committee has prepared a “draft” copy of
the revised constitution and by-laws for review by congregation members.
All voters have received a copy but there are several extra copies located
under the mailboxes for anyone who would like to read through them. The
document will be under review for the next several months before action
by the Voters. If you have any questions, comments or ideas please speak
with Mick, Mark or Russ.
“Spring – A New
Beginning” is a Public Service Announcement
you might hear on radio stations that regularly air “The Lutheran Hour.”
Because the free-air-time PSAs are not allowed to use a phone number, Lutheran
Hour Ministries has created a web site, www.thegodyouseek.com, where people
can go to learn about the Christian faith, Lutheran Hour Ministries, and
even hear the PSAs again. So listen for “The God You Seek” announcements
on your favorite radio stations, and know that these are from our Lutheran
Church.
A Brother in Space
– NASA astronaut Jeff Williams was one of two aboard a rocket launched
March 29 for the International Space Station (ISS). Williams, a member
of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod of Houston, TX, called his
pastor and fellow Lutherans from the space station, 250 miles above the
earth, to let them know he was doing well and to thank them for their prayers
and support.
Our Congregational
Join Hands Day, the National day of volunteering
to spark friendships among people of all generations as youth and adults
come together to plan and conduct activities to improve their communities,
has been set for Sunday, May 21 at 2:00 PM. Our Active Christian Teens
and anyone else who would enjoy spending a couple of hours doing yard work
and applying sealer at the Village Park, or would like to bring and serve
refreshments contact Kelly Smith, Robin Schardt, or Patty Elting. Come
join the fun! This special day is sponsored by America’s Fraternal Benefit
Societies, including Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
The Board of Trustees is currently seeking
someone to serve on the St.
Peter’s Cemetery Board. Anyone seeking
more information please contact either Steve Reinke, Roger Schroeder or
Mick Onnen.
Thank you!
On behalf of missionaries Claude & Rhoda Houge (Kenya) and Bruce &
Amy Lesemann (Jamaica), Gary Thies sends his thanks for our Mission Sunday
gifts with an invitation to come and see and hear the Houges who will be
at Mission Central on Thursday May 11. Anyone interested in going? Pastor
