Newsletter of the United Church of Primghar May, 2014- Volume 5

May is the month for so many celebrations some of them happy and
some of them a little more somber. Graduations from High School and
College, Confirmations, Mothers Day, May Day, and Memorial Day to
name a few. Sometimes it is during these times of celebrations that
we forget what ought to be the greatest celebration of all, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is risen.
Sure we celebrate Easter with all the festivities, but did you know that we are in Eastertide all the
way through Pentecost? This year Pentecost is June 8th. If truth be told though as Christians we
are called an Easter People, and we should live our lives every day in such a way that we are cele-
brating our risen Savior and spreading the news to all those whom we meet. After all when you are
excited about something, you cant wait to share it with others, so why should the news that Jesus is
risen be any different? We should heed the words given to the women at the tomb, Hurry, Go and
tell the disciples (or everyone) that He (Jesus) has been raised from the dead Matthew 28:7
~Pastor Cory

Vacation Bible
School is fast approaching.
It will be July 14th through
July 17th, from 9:00am to
2:00pm. Ingham Okoboji
Lutheran Bible Camp will
be leading it again this year.
The theme is In Christ. It will held at the American
Reformed Church. The cost will be $10 for K-5th
grade with a family maximum cost of $25.

We are in need of volunteers. Volunteers to be with
the children, and some for the kitchen. Also, we need
some host homes for those who are coming from
Ingham Okoboji Lutheran Bible Camp. Our day to
cook is Monday, July 17th. We are
also in need to raise $810 for our
portion of the costs. For each $30
that is given we will place another
Superhero Child on the window.
We are trying to raise enough funds for 27 children.
The
WWW
Children
decided
that they
wanted to
buy a goat
for the
Heifer
Project! Thank you for gener-
ously giving your quarters to
make this goal possible!

We are continuing to gather Lay-
ette Kits and Birthing Kits to
send to Zimbabwe to Dr. & Mrs.
Mefor. Information is in the fel-
Early Deadline for
June Newsletter
Please note that if you have
items to be included in the
newsletter, they need to be
into the office by May 14th.
Scholarship and loan applications have been
mailed out. If you did not receive one, please
contact the church office.
Beginning in May we will have Joy and Con-
cern Cards in the pews, and during the begin-
ning of worship if you have one that you
would like shared we ask that you would fill
the card out, and to place it in the basket as it
is passed during the first hymn. Then these
will be shared later during the service.

COLLEGE
GRADUATES
If you have a college student gradu-
ating this year, please call the office
with details for publication in the
June Newsletter.
If you are aware of someone in need of a pastoral call, please inform Pastor Cory at the office,
957-4960 or her cell 404-788-4997. She would rather hear from multiple sources than from no
one at all. In these times of privacy rights, hospitals and nursing homes may not divulge infor-
mation relating to a resident or patient, so it is very important that members and/or their families
let the Pastor know of all needs for pastoral care.
