Please join the Sunday school children between services on May 11 for an Ice Cream Social to celebrate the children’s last day of Sunday school. Ice cream will be served in Gethsemane’s Garden.

The percent of the U.S. population that is foreign born is now at levels not seen since early in the 20th century. Immigration is a timely issue that relates to Gethsemane’s outreach to the Latino community in our area. Two Adult Forums will address the legal and biblical positions that surround immigration and who gains and loses in an economic sense.

On May 11 attorney Colleen Beebe will speak on the topic of “Immigration and the Law.” On May 18 Bob Shebeck will speak on the topic of “The Economics of Immigration.” There are many misperceptions in both of these areas. Join the discussion; plan to attend and invite a friend.

Day of Pentacost

At Contemporary Worship the congregational songs are led by our contemporary choir, Voices of Praise, and instruments. The style is eclectic, drawing from folk, gospel and contemporary sources. Holy Communion is celebrated every week.

Gethsemane women and their guests at the GCW Spring Supper will hear stories of how Lutheran World Relief has changed lives for those in need in third world countries.

Joanne Negstad, who has served as director of LWR, will tell some experiences she has had traveling to Kenya and Peru where LWR supplies have come to change lives. She will share how LWR has enabled women to put faith into action by providing quilts, school kits, midwife kits, layettes and sewing kits. You will hear how women of Gethsemane are involved with Lutheran World Relief.

Reservations should be made by calling the church office by Tuesday, May 13. Cost is $8.00.

May 2008: The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar

Second Sunday of Pentacost

I invite you all to join me for another “Fireside Chat” where we can continue the conversation of what the next steps of our journey together at Gethsemane might be. We will take some time to get to know one another, learn what you are passionate about, and begin the discussion of where we think God is leading us together. The church council has begun the process of developing a five-year plan and I want you to be a part of that process. You can sign up in the Friendship Folder or by calling the church office, but drop-ins are always welcome.

Join us for this weekly, lectionary-based Bible Study facilitated by our pastors. We will discuss the texts for the upcoming Sunday. No registration required; drop-ins welcome!
