    LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF


    SEWING KITS
    Teach a person to sew and youve given
    them tools they can use to earn an income,
    support their family, and break out of
    poverty. Many of the Fabric Kits Lutheran
    World Relief distributes are used to teach
    young men and women useful and
    marketable sewing skills.

    Please give new items only

    Please do not donate items with any


    religious symbols, any items decorated
    with a U.S. flag, patriotic or military
    symbols, or references to the armed
    forces, including camouflage.

    Fabric should have no stains or holes.


    Pieces do not need to match in size or
    color/pattern. Fold thread and one piece
    of fabric inside second fabric piece and
    tie with yarn, sturdy string, ribbon or a
    strip of fabric.
    Include in your kit:
    * 2 spools of neutral-colored thread
    * 2 pieces of cotton fabric (no knits or
    100% polyester) measuring:
    2 1/4 yds (60) or
    3 yds (44) or
    4 yds (36)

    SOUND OPERATORS NEEDED!


    Its time again for Meals on Wheels!
    Volunteers are needed (young or old) to help
    deliver meals to shut-ins from May 9 through
    June 3. More information will follow or
    contact Carol Sorsen if you have questions.
    402-371-7482. Sign up on todays
    Registration Slip to volunteer!

    Now that we have our new audio console installed,


    we need volunteer sound operators to run it. Our
    hired heroes Justin Murphy and Spencer
    Dagerman have learned the new system and are
    eager to teach you how great it is. By mid-May, we
    will need volunteers at all three services ready to
    take over. If you are interested, contact John
    Skogstoe or the church office, or visit with John,
    Justin, or Spencer.

    In the month of
    May, four First
    Communion
    confirmation class
    times will be made
    available for any
    baptized youth
    whose parents have discerned that their
    children are ready to receive the Lords Supper
    for the first time. These dates and times for
    class are May 4, 2:30-3:30pm, May 4, 56pm, May 11, 2:30-3:30pm; & May 11, 5-6
    pm. All classes will be held in the sanctuary.
    As St. Johns Church Council has supported
    and endorsed the practice of baptized
    members of any age being able to receive
    communion after mutual conversation and
    instruction between the child, parent(s), and
    pastor(s), these confirmation classes are open
    to children and adults of any age. Attendance
    is required at only one of the four scheduled
    class opportunities. Families must RSVP their
    intent on attending a class no later than noon
    of the day of the class by calling the church
    office (402-371-1985) or by registering
    online. If no RSVPs are received for a class, it
    will not be held. If these times do not work for
    a family, Pastor Justin will help schedule a
    personalized time as scheduling allows. In
    each hour-long class, we will review how God
    loves us and that God feeds us, using stories
    from the Spark Story Bible. Students will also
    practice and learn how communion is received
    at St. Johns and other churches. It is strongly
    preferred that children attend the class with
    their parent(s).
    Baptized children of God at St. John's who
    attend a May 2016 First Communion Class will
    be invited to receive First Communion on May
    14 or 15 as we celebrate Pentecost. If this
    weekend does not work for a family, please be
    in conversation with Pastor Justin or Pastor
    David to discuss other options.
    We look forward to celebrating First
    Communion with the families of those baptized
    young people who will be taking part in the
    Lord's Supper for the first time.

    Shortly after we set and


    approved our budgets for
    this year, St. John's Council
    learned of two urgent needs.
    The wireless microphones
    used by the pastors and
    worship assistants are 10
    years old and in bad
    shape. In addition, the pipe
    organ needs strengthened
    supports for the larger pipes to prevent sagging
    and eventual failure. The council acted on faith
    to immediately commit to both projects which
    saves a considerable amount of money.
    Now it is time to fund both projects which total
    $7,200.

    The Memorial Committee has


    set aside $2,000 for a fifty
    cents on the dollar match.
    Please choose one of three
    ways to make a gift to our
    Mikes & Pipes fund as you
    are able: 1) Make your gift
    through your regular offering
    envelope, noting it on your
    check or envelope. 2) Grab a
    special Mikes & Pipes
    envelope from the back of the
    sanctuary and put your gift in it to put in the
    offering plate. 3) Go online to
    stjohnsnorfolk.com, click on the Donate Now
    button, and give an e-gift on the Mikes & Pipes
    line. Thank you for giving as generously as you
    are able toward these projects.

    Enjoy the ease


    and convenience of giving online! Online
    giving allows you at any time to set up an
    automatic donation plan, change your
    donation plan, or make a one-time donation.
    Contributions can be debited automatically

    Thank you so
    very, very much
    for all the
    prayers and
    concerns after
    our fire. Thanks to the Mens ChristCare
    and Ron Benson who came out on a very
    cold morning to get things ready for
    restoration. Thanks for all the delicious
    meals, cash and gift cards. We feel so very
    blessed to be a part of a very loving and
    caring congregation.

    ATTENTION GARDENERS!

    whenever youre available) for a work
    evening. We welcome all gardeners, no
    experience necessary! More hands make the
    work go faster. Hope to see you there!

    I would like to thank all my church friends


    for their prayers, cards, visits & phone
    calls. So nice to know others are thinking
    of you and wishing you well. God has
    blessed me with some kind and very
    talented Doctors, and given me great hope
    that all will be well. Right now I am
    regaining strength and getting ready for the
    next step. Hope to see you in church
    soon. God Bless you all,
