FREE AUDIO BIBLES FOR EVERYONE
All
adults and teens who come to church June 8 will receive a free copy ot
the New Testament on CD, MP3 format. Children will receive a free Bible
Stories CD. These are being given by Hosanna Ministries of Albuquerque,
NM, through their Faith Comes By Hearing program. They are doing this
to raise awareness of the need to put audio Bibles in the hands of
millions of people who do not read. All they ask is that a free will
offering be taken to support the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators who
are working to get the Bible to smaller people groups all over the
world. They give them an audio player that is
battery-powered and can be recharged with a hand crank or by the sun.
Be
sure to come June 8 (9 a.m.) and receive your audio Bible; also, come
prepared to make a donation so others can hear God's Word. Invite
others to come that day, too. (The Session approved this at the last
meeting.)

THANK YOU
Hello friends at KMUPC,
After
finishing up my academic career at Whitewater, I wanted to let you all
know what I will be doing after I graduate. I am planing go to India
with Adventures in Missions (I guess it'll be a real adventure, haha)
in September to serve the poorest of the poor and to share the Gospel
of Christ to the people in New Delhi. I would love for you to join my
team in prayer and support as I go over, not only representing this
congregation, but the entire Christian church. I hope to love many of
the "untouchables" in the name of Jesus. Thank you to all who have
faithfully supported me in the past; without you, God's love would not
have touched as many people as it has. I thank God for every one of you
and am praying for you all. If you would like to receive a support
letter from me, you can either leave me your name and address in the
"Edlhuber" mailbox at church or email me at jpedlhuber@yahoo.com.
Please be praying with me as I gear up and head out. Thanks again for
everything and God bless! -Joey Edlhuber
Hello family and friends!
Thank
you so much for supporting me financially and in prayer! This summer is
going to be exciting, challenging, and fun all at the same time. 1 will
be there May 31 through August 10, living near the ocean, working full
time, and sharing the Lord with people. To keep you all updated
throughout my summer, I have created a blog that I will update weekly
(hopefully!). The link to my blog is http:/www.merclaire.biQgspot.com
I hope you enjoy reading about the things God is teaching me, the
friendships I'm creating, the struggles I'm going through, and ali the
fun! Thank you again for supporting me! Have a blessed summer!

COMMITTEE REPORTS
A Note from the Clerk of Session -
Greetings
All. My friend Tom Ehrsam told me something at Session that I think 1
have thought about almost every day since. He said we should all try to
make God smile each day.
At our last Session meeting, I think we did
make God smile. We had a joint meeting with the Deacons, just to keep
the lines of communication open. Our Deacons are very busy people!
They are responsible for asking volunteers for the Sunday Fellowship
Hour, Worship Child Care, Ushers and Worship Assistants, which is no
easy task. If you can sign up for any of these areas, I know it would
make God smile. The Deacons also collect food for the local food pantry
and for special food boxes which go to members of our community. Any
donations from you will be greatly appreciated.
As we worked through
the meeting itinerary and each committee chairperson gave their report,
I could not help but be grateful for the hard work and time each one is
putting in. I pray that everyone will consider helping out somewhere in
our Church. 1 saw a church sign a few weeks ago the said: Don't just
attend, get involved! Now, wouldn't that just make God smile?
Yours in Christ. Kathy Lembke

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it... Dad

Jesus on the 4th of July
We gather 'round to celebrate
Jesus on the 4th of July
We gather 'round to celebrate
On Independence Day
Pay Homage to our country
As the children run and play.
With Barbecues and picnics
And fireworks in the air
The flag we own is proudly flown
To show how much we care.
The stars and stripes spell freedom
She waves upon the breeze
'White Bursts of colors can be seen
Above the towering trees.
This is all quite wonderful
We revel in delight
But God above in divine love
Has brought this day to light.
With just a strode of liberty
A touch of His great hand
He gave democracy to us
And helped this country stand.
The stripes upon our stately flag
Were touched by His sweet grace
Each star of white that shines so bright
Reflects His loving face.
So as you turn to face the flag
For battles that were fought
Be filled with pride for those who died
And freedoms that were bought.
But don't forget to thank the One
That gives the bright display
The reason why we paint the sky
On Independence Day
