We thank retired pastor Richard Winters for serving us with God's Word. Pastor Winters will be here next Sunday as well. Pastor Doletzky is on vacation and will be back July 8th. If you are in need of a Pastor, please contact Pastor Phil Paustian at 428-2650.

We are already making plans for this summer's Vacation Bible School and Family Fun Day. VBS is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 10 at 6 p.m. and our Family Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday, August 16. Please mark these dates on your calendars and plan to make them great events.

We all have the opportunity to supply a fresh bouquet of flowers for the altar during a worship service. Whether in celebration, memory, or just for the many blessings we have received, please sign up for a Sunday on the new 2009 flower chart in the entry hall. The bouquets are $16.00 for one and $23.95 for two. Please make your check out to the Women's Evening Service Group and everything else will be taken care of for you. Please speak to Mary Ann Thorsen if you have any questions.

Thanks to all those who have served for the fellowship after the 10:30 services. There are several Sundays available for serving in the next couple of months. Please sign up on the sheet in the narthex if you would like to host on a Sunday. If you would prefer to donate money for items to be purchased, you may do so. Or if you would like to make some snacks but have someone serve them, you may do that also. Please contact Cam Blakeslee or Nancy Juhl if you have any questions about serving.

With so many changing faces at Salem, it would be great for us to get to know them better on the picture board. We are looking for someone to be in charge of maintaining the Member Picture Board in the hall. Please contact Steve Cadeau or Pastor. Thank you.
