A huge THANK YOU to all who were involved in VBS
this year. Great job, everyone!!!!!
Volunteers are needed to help mow the church grounds (not
the cemetery) during the summer. The church provides all
the needed equipment and gas. Please take a moment to
sign up to be a mower. The sign up sheet is located on the
table near the aquarium.
************************************************
The shingles on the parsonage detached garage were damaged
during the September 4, 2014 hailstorms. We’ve received
insurance money to replace the shingles. On Saturday, June
20th, starting at 8am, we will remove and replace the shingles.
Please come and help. We’ll need people on the roof, people on
the ground picking up stuff, and people willing to provide the
lunch. If you can help with any of these tasks, please speak to
Shelley Porter (734-8146) or Pastor Paul.
************************************************
Next Sunday is Father’s Day. Special gifts will be
available for all the dads!

MIDSUMMER PICNIC
Sunne Lutheran Church had its beginning with the Swedish
settlers in this area. The summer holiday that the Swedes
celebrated was the summer solstice, Midsummer, on the 24th of
June. No matter what day of the week it fell on, the church had a
holiday. They had a potluck dinner, a worship service, the youth
made and sold ice cream,
the ladies of the church had an auction of things they had made.
It was truly a community affair. The celebration was usually held
in a farm yard or picnic area.
This year, the Midsummer Picnic will be Sunday the 28th at the
South Park (football field area) in Wilton. The Sunne WELCA
sponsors the Midsummer picnic. Everyone is welcome to come
at 10 a.m. for the worship service and to bring something for the
potluck dinner. An auction will be held as part of the festivities.
If you have items you would like to donate, please contact
Carlene Dockter at 734-6663. Proceeds will be used to support
Sunne’s Women of the ELCA.
***************************************************
We welcome Henry Kenneth Deckert into God’s family today
through the sacrament of Holy Baptism. Henry is the son of
Tonya Deckert and Kenny Franklund, Jr. May Henry know
God’s presence all of his life.
