Simply Giving Program is a convenient way to give
: Would you find it helpful to have your offerings taken from your bank account as you do other monthly drafts? And at no cost to the congregation?
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans sponsors a program called Simply Giving, which offers this service for people who wish to have offerings transferred electronically to the church’s account. For those who travel, this is particularly helpful in keeping up with their intended offerings, and it will keep you from having to make up the difference later. It is a wonderful way to keep the church budget during the summer months when many are traveling and away from worship. The Congregational Council has approved this program for those who choose to participate |

Summer Worship Schedule
: Summer worship begins on Sunday, May 25 with 9 am worship. (Remember we have only one service in the summer and it begins at 9 am!)
We will continue Wednesday worship at 6:30 pm. We will meet in the Chapel in the multipurpose room. Our theme for Wednesday Worship will be Lutheran Christianity 101: An intro course to faith! We especially invite new members to join us as we look at an overview of the basics of Christian faith in the Lutheran Church. This will be very helpful for members who have come from other denominations or those looking for a theological refresher! We encourage you to make time to refresh yourself with weelky worship. Also, please remember your offering during the summer months!

"Just a Closer Walk..."
: Join us for a Devotional Walk time on Tuesdays at 7 am and 7 pm each Tuesday this summer for a time to walk the City Nature Trail and then to gather for a short devotional time. Our first Tuesday will be Tuesday, June 3 at 7 am and 7 pm. The trail is 1 1/2 miles around and takes about 25 minutes if you are walking at a brisk pace. Come to walk before or after the devotional time. It is a great way to take advantage of lovely summer weather, the path is close to the church as we add a faith component to our time together. No need to sign up - just come walk and pray!

Hannah was active in basketball, volleyball, choir, yearbook staff, and other various clubs and activities throughout her school years. She also served as student manager for the track and boy’s basketball teams, where she was recognized as an incredible, loyal, Bulldog fan. Her enthusiasm and school spirit never went unnoticed. She graduated from Milbank High School on May 20, 2007.
She had been employed by Shady Beach Supper Club and Bill’s Super Valu, where she was well-known for her upbeat personality and beautiful smile. She enjoyed being involved in church and other community activities.
Hannah enlisted in the South Dakota National Guard on December 12, 2005, and was a member of the 740th Transportation Company out of Milbank. She had completed basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., and her Advanced Individual Training at Ft. Bliss, TX, where she was recognized for her positive attitude, determination, and leadership abilities. Her military occupational specialty was a motor transport operator. Her military awards included the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon. She was also awarded a victory coin for her “excellent display of motivation and determination” and was appointed to the role of Platoon Guide while in Basic Training. Hannah was enrolled in South Dakota State University’s Clinical and Laboratory Sciences program and was to start classes there this fall.
Hannah’s greatest pleasures in life included spending time with her niece and nephew, her friendships made in the Guards, playing cards and board games, chatting online with friends, talking and text messaging on her cell phone, and supporting the Miami Dolphins. She had a strong faith in God and was extremely proud to serve her country.
Grateful for having shared in her life are her parents, Lynn and Brenda, rural Corona; her sister, Jessica Hagedorn and husband, Brad, and niece and nephew, Mya and Brent, New London, MN; paternal grandmother, Emma Maass, Humboldt, SD; maternal grandmother, Marlene Eernisse, Toledo, IA; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
