✛FELLOWSHIP✛
SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC – Last Sunday June 8 was a big success. Thanks to Justin Caruso and Tom Fuesler for manning the barbecue, to all the bakers and cooks, to all the set ups and cleans ups.
PLAYGROUND FUN – It has been a wonderful opportunity to see children in our sanctuary. We praise our Lord and Savior for such a gift of these children. The weather outside is warming up and it's time to get outside and play. Please join us every Sunday after service (weather permitting) at the playground STARTING JUNE 1ST. Children should be accompanied by an adult. This gives us another fellowship experience as the adults chit chat and the children enjoy the playground equipment.
Water ice will be provided as an additional snack. Come one, come all - from children to adults. Alleluia!!!
SUNDAY STROLLERS - Sunday June Strollers will meet after church (June 29th) for a stroll around Bonsall Park. Please bring your sneakers and enjoy our time together - of course weather permitting. Come on out and enjoy the Concordia Fellowship.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 1st at 6:30 pm

Luther's Small CATECHISM - CONFESSION
What is Confession: Confession has two parts. First, that we confess our sins, and Second, that we receive absolution (forgiveness), from the pastor as from God Himself, not doubting, but firmly believing that by it our sins are forgiven before God in heaven.
What sins should we confess? Before God we should plead guilty of all sins, even those we are not aware of, as we do in the Lord's Prayer; but before the pastor we should confess only those sins which we know and feel in our hearts.
Which are these? Are you a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, or worker? Have you been disobedient, unfaithful, or lazy? Have you been hot-tempered, rude, or quarrelsome: Have you hurt someone by your words or deeds: Have you stolen, been negligent, wasted anything, or done any harm?
✛SERVICE✛
EMMANUEL DINING ROOM
On Ascension Sunday, Pastor Dave challenged us to “Live the Ascension” and clarified a bit by adding “Love God” (Commandments I-III) and “Love your neighbor” (Commandments (IV-X). On the 27th of this month we have a wonderful opportunity to do exactly that. We continue to need many casseroles as we anticipate that the numbers of food challenged neighbors who come to Emanuel Dining Room will only increase over last month’s 248. We will also need lots of brownies now that the Preschool -our partners in supplying many of the monthly brownies - is closed for the summer months. So please don your aprons and prepare a casserole and a batch of brownies. Please have them in the freezer by the 24th. Thanks for loving God and your neighbor through your contributions. And, additional servers are always welcome on the 27th. ~Gods blessings, Dale & George.
As a Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Orphan Grain Train is a Christian volunteer network that sends donated clothing, shoes, medical and other needed items to people in need. We meet Wednesdays 10:00 a.m.– 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m. to sort and pack donations for shipping. Our location is the warehouse next to the Dansko outlet: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library, or visit our webpage for hours of operation, the latest updates, and to review the full list of materials our recipients need most. Donated items may be placed in the closet in All Saints' Hall (to the right as you enter the room). Hard to imagine how exciting it is for those who receive our 'throw aways / I don't need this anymore' possessions – we are so blessed! If you have questions please contact Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.
