Greetings!

This Sunday is Honoring Graduates Sunday.  I have only received a couple of the names of relatives or family members who are graduating.  I would like to read off the names and/or plans to lift these people before God as they continue on their journey.  If you know of someone who has graduated or is graduating from High School, College, Trade School or Training Program who is somehow associated with someone in the congregation, please let me know via email so I have the information for Sunday.     

Our web site is currently down and is being rebuilt at this time.  We should have a new web site up and running soon.   

Next Sunday we will bless the tools and toys of summer.  Bring a representation of what you will be doing this summer, be it fishing poles, motorcycles, motor homes, soccer balls, or ballet shoes.  These are the gifts of God and reminders of God's love in our lives.  We will gather in the parking lot for the final blessing and send you on your way, after we plant the flower beds at church, with God's blessings.   

We continue our May food drive of collecting Fruity and Fresh canned foods through the end of the month.   

Don't forget this summers Lutheran Community Camp.  It will be held at Birchwood camp just 19 miles from Anchorage on August 5-7th.  Information and forms at: www.aklutherancamps.org

John 14:1-14 (New International Version)

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

 ¹ "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. ² My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. ⁴ You know the way to the place where I am going."

Jesus the Way to the Father

 ⁵ Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
