THE
STAFF OF the Indiana District meets for prayer and
Bible Study on Monday mornings. At this
time, they pray for the congregations and schools of the district. This week our congregation will be in their
prayers. Continue to remember them in
your prayers as they carry out the work of the Kingdom.

POSITION
AVAILABLE: White Creek
Lutheran School is accepting applications for the position of teaching
assistant. The position is part-time and
will involve working with students from grades K-6 (possibly grades K-8). Please send your resume to the school office
by this Wednesday, June 14.
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 next Sunday, June 18. All
proceeds from this food booth will support the Orphan Grain Train.
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: Matt. 28:19-20
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
Behold the
threefold name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is the name we are baptized into. We have been made a part of God’s
family. And so we are now called to live
lives that are in harmony with our new family: we are to be godly, to live in
God’s image. As God is loving and kind
and generous – so we are called to be.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
