COUNCIL PRESIDENT UPDATE There has been an uptick of Covid cases locally, including members of the congregation. We pray for all those who have been affected by Covid and are or have been ill. As a reminder, in regard to wearing masks, that is to your discretion. Hand sanitizer, nitrile gloves and masks are available for use as needed and social distancing, where feasible, should be practiced for everyone’s health and wellbeing. On June 26, we will be having a congregational meeting to elect council members immediately following the worship service. If you are interested in serving on the council or think you might be willing to serve on council and have questions, please speak to one of the council members. If you need any special needs or requests, have any questions or concerns, or are in in need of assistance or know of someone that does, please contact the church office, call me at 360-232-8186 or speak to one of the other council members. THANK YOU, from the Prices Thank you for the very special Sunday morning send off. It was a fantastic day. Super potluck, hugs and well wishes and words of encouragement from all. We appreciated comments from Pastor Craig and Tom Huffman. The presentation of the beautiful quilt from our quilters meant so much. We will miss our church family! “Good friends are for keeps” God Bless! -Brian & Jane Price SW WA SYNOD GATHERING Saturday, June 4, 2022 10AM-3:30PM at Trinity The Southwestern Washington Synod Educational Gatherings are a time to be Church together. We gather with other lay and rostered members of this Synod to worship together, attend workshops on a variety of topics, eat lunch together (included in $25 fee) and get to know other Lutherans in our synod. This year Joey Ager, Bishop's Associate and Director for Evangelical Mission, is giving a keynote presentation entitiled, "Sacred Encounter". He will ask, How do we grow together as congregations, communities and society? During this time, we’ll consider the central importance of sacred encounter - with others, ourselves, the land and God - as a foundational practice of being community and of growing in new directions.
