Announcements - May 10, 2026

There will be a Voters’ Meeting next Sunday, May 17, following service. Please attend as we discuss the business of the church. We are seeking to support the Goddard family by providing two to three meals each week. Due to food allergies, please do not include wheat, nuts, or shellfish in any meals. If you would like to provide a meal, please contact Kris Brown.

Thank you for supporting April’s Mission of the Month, the Nebraska District Disaster Relief Fund. Through your generosity, $110 was collected for this important cause.

Our Mission of Month for May supports the Finding Hope Pregnancy Resource Center, a compassionate refuge for women facing unexpected pregnancies with education, resources, and faith-based support. Their free services provide mothers with the care and community they need to choose life with hope. Learn more at www.findinghopeprc.org.

We are also asking everyone to please support the LWML’s collection for the local food pantry. During the summer months, breakfast items are especially needed. Suggested donations include cereal, breakfast bars, and bottled fruit juice. Monetary gifts may also be placed in the missions collection box and will be used to purchase needed fresh items such as breakfast meats, eggs, and milk.

A prayer for Christians on this day in which the secular calendar honors motherhood:

O Almighty God, who sent forth Your only-begotten Son to be born of a woman, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and who by His holy incarnation did, in truth, cause her to be the very Mother of God, thereby crowning and honoring all motherhood, grant Your perpetual favor and blessing upon all of our mothers, that they, in turn, may be a blessing to all their children. Help them recognize the holy office You have entrusted to them and strengthen them to serve faithfully within it. Grant that their motherly service may not be burdensome but rather joyful and glad. Comfort all women who do not have children and those whose children are estranged from them, that their hope and confidence may ever remain in You in whom true joy is found. Bless the memory of mothers who have passed on from this vale of tears. Give us loving hearts that freely give thanks for our mothers, heartily forgive them where they have failed and fallen short, willingly obey them, and gladly honor them. Grant also to the Holy Christian Church, which is the Mother of us all, prosperity in faithfulness, that we, through Her pure milk of the Word, may gain everlasting joy; through the Son of Mary, Your only Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
