WHAT WOULD MAKE
SUMMER MORE COMPLETE? More Bible
study, of course! With this in mind,
Pastor Whitmore will be leading a Bible study on Wednesday evenings beginning
at 6:00 p.m. starting June 7. As we open
the Scriptures, we will be doing so along side the book, “Tortured for Christ,”
which is a first-hand account of Rev. Richard Wurmbrand and his experiences of
being tortured for his faith in Jesus.
All are welcome to attend – hope to see you there!
JUNE CALENDAR AND NEWS will be available from the ushers after today’s worship.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: Vacation Bible School, Mighty
Fortress, will be held here at White Creek June 11-15, 6:00-8:00 p.m. each
evening for children PreK-6th grade.
Please register online at vbsmate.com/whitecreekVBS by today. Teachers and helpers are needed! Contact Jessica Morphew at 812-343-9110 or by
email at sundayschool@whitecreek.org or you may
volunteer online at the VBS registration site if you would like to help with
this part of our church’s ministry. A
family cookout/pitch-in meal will be held on the last evening, June 15. Hot dogs, chips and drinks will be
furnished-families are asked to bring a dish to share. The children will present a short program.
EVERYONE IS INVITED to the Ordination service of Jacob Hercamp next Sunday, June 4, at 3:00
p.m. here at St. John’s. A meal will be served in our school gym after the
worship service. All are welcomed and
encouraged to attend.

p.m.).
FILL A BOTTLE. CHANGE A LIFE! Did you know that when you give to the Baby Bottle Campaign you’re
giving mothers support services that can last for years? Besides offering pregnancy testing,
ultrasounds, and counseling, Clarity offers abortion recovery Bible study
classes as well as sexual integrity presentations for students. Help Clarity change lives and keep filling
your baby bottle! (Campaign ends June 18.) Every filled baby bottle is a
gift that helps to save a life. Join in
and make a difference, one life at a time.
GIFT CARDS are being collected for “Gifts From the Heart” for the Albuquerque
Christian Children, Care Net, Lutheran World Relief, and Ysleta Lutheran
Mission. Donations of $10 and $25 gift

11. Jean will be taking them with her to
the LWML Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 22-25.
THE KINDERGARTEN SURVEY that was included in last week’s bulletin is available in the narthex
for those who have not yet had a chance to respond. Please note that this is just a survey to
seek interest, opinions and input from the congregation. Responses may be dropped in the box provided
in the narthex.
POSITION AVAILABLE: White Creek Lutheran School is
accepting applications for the position of teaching assistant. The position is part-time and will involve

IN CELEBRATION of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, White Creek is
joining the other Columbus Lutheran churches in hosting a German food booth at
this year’s Ethnic Expo. We are putting
together a 10 member team of White Creek volunteers to work the booth on
Friday, October 13, from 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. to grill brats, take orders,
plate food, take money, or be a “go for.”
If you would like this opportunity to be a part of the Expo action and
see lots of people, please let Jean Voelker, Janeen Blomenberg, or Becky know
by June 18. All proceeds from
this food booth will support the Orphan Grain Train.
WHITE CREEK RESALE: White Creek Resale will be held Saturday, June 10, 2017 from 8:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. in our school gym. Shop among
almost 20 booths, find a bargain, and visit with your friends and neighbors! Please join in a fun community event to
benefit the Building Fund and other ministries of our church and school.
CHURCH NURSERY: As we teach our children what it means to
worship God and be respectful to those who have gathered to receive His
blessings, it is understood that some Sundays will be more trying than others. What can we say? They are learning. For those Sundays when things are more
trying, the narthex and the kindergarten room (which is through the doors of
the school and to the right at the end of the hall) are available for those who
would like to use them. Please feel free
to ask the elder or usher for assistance, if needed.
STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Acts 1:11
“Men of Galilee,
why do you stand looking into heaven?
This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same
way as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ is ascended – and Christ will come
again. We live our lives in this world
in the sure confidence of the world to come.
We live as people who know our Lord Jesus – and who know that He is
coming back. This makes all the
difference in how we approach the things of this world.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
