SUMMER DAY CAMP  NBLC will be having a summer day camp this summer on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays in June and July from 10 am to 1 pm. This is for Kindergarten thru 4th graders. We will have a different theme for each session- nature, science, healthy eating, and water with Bible studies, activities and lunch/picnic to go along with each theme. More information and registration is on the church website. There is a $20 fee to cover lunches and outings. This is due on the first day of camp. We are limiting the camp to 15 campers.

ANNUAL NALC CONVOCATION   The annual Convocation of the North American Lutheran Church will be August 9 – 11 at the Sheraton Music City Hotel, Nashville, TN.  We are allowed one voting delegate to the Convocation.  This is an excellent opportunity to hear of many of the activities of the NALC and to participate in the NALC on a national level.  It is an inspiring opportunity to hear of the Lord’s work through the NALC.  If you are interested in being a delegate please contact Pastor Oman.

 PARKING LOT FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN  The congregation voted to resurface the parking lot west of the facility.  We have a fundraising campaign going to defray the cost of resurfacing. Targeted contributions will be: to donate a parking space for $750, to donate half a parking space for $375, or whatever someone may want to give toward the resurfacing, and any amount is appreciated. The contributions are donations toward the parking lot, not buying a reserved space. Thank you for your contributions toward resurfacing the parking lot.

WHAT MORMONS REALLY BELIEVE DISCUSSED AT LIFETREE CAFÉ The beliefs and practices of the Mormon faith will be explored at Lifetree Café on Thursday, May 24 at 12:30 p.m. at the Candlewood Pool House. The program- titled “Mormons: Christian? Cult? What do they really believe?”- includes a filmed interview with someone who has left the Mormon church and also someone who has joined it. In addition, a filmed interview with a theology professor will be shown and discussed. “We’ll discuss what Mormons believe and whether the Mormon church is Christian,” said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “Some accuse the Mormon church of being a cult. We’ll explore whether that’s a fair depiction.” The Lifetree event will encourage various views from the community, according to Cable.

QUARTERLY GIVING STATEMENTS are in the basket in the narthex.

ATTENDANCE for Sunday, May 14 was 74 and total offering was $4,970.
