~I would like to express my deepest gratitudeto the congregation for your condolences in

the death of my uncle. I was especially blessedby the ministry of the We Care Card Team. Itwas very comforting to return to Concordiaand find all the sympathy cards waiting forme. This was a good reminder to me of howimportant this quiet, but faithful, ministry is tothose they serve, particularly in times ofsadness. Virginia Smith

~Ladies of the Ruth Circle,Thank you so much for Sundays spaghetti dinner. Its so nice of you to support VBS Sunday with a meal. I knomany of you supported in other ways, also. Blessings to each of you! Pastor Emily

I want to invite any of you who like to read to help yourself to the manybooks I have ordered for our UMW reading program this year. They are

on the top shelf of the book shelves in the Parlor. Just sign your name and thebook you take on the writing pad I have in there. Take the book and enjoy it. Youdon't have to be in UMW and men are welcome to read them too. I think I've

order about 18 now and they are all good. Those of you who have some of thefirst set of books, you may return them to this shelf also so others can read them.We have slips of paper in the front of each book so please write your name on italso. We can get credit for people in our church reading whether in UMW or not.There are many books on the other shelves from past years too. Help yourself tothose also. I think we'll put them out for people in the church to buy them cheapand have them better used from now on. I have a whole clothes basket of olderbooks under the coat rack in that room also. Please help yourself and enjoy.Janis Houdek, UMW District Reading Program Coordinator
