A significant, anonymous donation has allowed

creation of the new position of Director of Visitation

Ministries. This position is not tied to our general fund

giving in any way. It will be funded solely through the

generosity of this donor for a period of three years.

Andy Walser has contracted to serve in this position

beginning May 1. As part of the pastoral care team,

Andy will work closely with our pastoral staff. His

primary responsibilities will be in the area of visitation.

Andy will work with members of Shepherd’s Staff and

lay communion volunteers and will supplement

visitation done by our pastors.

Please join us in welcoming Andy as our new

Director of Visitation Ministries.

The flowers at the altar are in memory of loved ones

from Carlyn Juhl. The flowers at the pulpit celebrate

National Playground Safety Week.

Flower Calendar Has Openings

If you would like to order flowers for the altar this

summer, openings are available on the following

Sundays: May 18 & 25; every Sunday in June; July 6

& 20; August 10 & 17. Sign up today at the Welcome

Desk or contact Nancy Woodford at 319-266-7589 or
