THE SPRING 2026 GROW & GO CHALLENGE: You are invited to help recognize, celebrate, honor and support the nearly 9000 women married to LCMS pastors, including the one who is part of your own congregation! Lutheran Family Service & The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. Please see the insert for more information. 

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY on May 24th is “Overflowing in Comfort” from the Spring issue of Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. It is found on pages 16-17, in the mailboxes in the narthex, and attached to emailed Weekly Notes.

“THANK YOU” Terry and I would like to thank everyone for your texts, just listening and showing concern, cards and most importantly prayers during the time that our niece was so very ill, and at the time of her passing. We certainly felt your support and appreciated it so much! Terry & Darla

Building Healthy Families: Psst…have you ever noticed how nearly impossible it is to tune out a whispered conversation nearby? Kids certainly can’t. Parents, you can actually use that to your advantage—by letting them “accidentally” overhear the things you most want them to learn. When they catch you speaking warmly about your spouse, it quietly builds their sense of security at home. When they overhear you saying good things about their teacher, it shapes how they show respect and cooperation at school. And when they hear you expressing genuine appreciation for your pastor, it naturally nurtures their respect for him as well. Those little, overheard moments? They often speak louder than a message communicated directly! www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service
