The need for more blood donations is growing daily. Your blood donation is essential to keep the blood supply strong and steady. Without on-going donors, we cannot ensure people have the blood they need.
We’re asking you to come in and donate! The need is real. The need is now.
This summer kids at VBS will launch on a cosmic quest where they’ll have a blast shining Jesus’ light to the world. Stellar rockets kids on an out-of-this-world adventure that’s light years of faith-building fun.
We want kids and volunteers to join us for this exciting week!

With the wisdom and strength of God; guide, encourage, educate, and inspire mothers and mothers-to-be to make healthy and wise life-saving choices for their pregnancy, their children, and themselves.
I don’t think we fully grasp the magnitude of being God’s children. Of being able to call, “Abba! Father!” to the creator and sustainer of the Universe!
And not just His children, but the fact that He would choose us, sinful and rebellious as we are, to be “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation…for His own possession is stupefying beyond all comprehension!
Let us taste this reality and see “that the Lord is good!”
Yet that’s who we are; who God has made us through faith in Jesus!
He has a purpose for us as His people, however. He has made us this, “that [we] may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light!” He purposes us “to offer spiritual sacrifices” in our lives, because we cannot help it, having experienced the manifold magnificence of it ourselves!
At 3:00 PM, Seminarian Daniel Heitshusen received his vicarage (think year-long internship) assignment.
He and Rachel will be headed about 2 hours south of St. Louis to Cape Girardeau, MO. where they will serve the good people of Hanover Lutheran Church under the supervision of The Rev. Rod Benkendorf. (Pastor Benkendorf and Pastor Scott were classmates in college at Concordia-NE.)
Daniel will have some preaching, visitation, and teaching duties (including a 6:00 AM Bible class on Fridays!).
They are very excited and looking forward to beginning their time at Hanover sometime in July. (Specific date TBD.)

In addition, you may recall that on February 5, LifeBridge extended a Call to soon-to-be Deaconess Becky Jungklaus to serve as a “Missionary at Large” in the deaf community. That reality took another step forward with her receipt of that Call through the LCMS Council of Presidents (who serve as the Board of Assignments)!
Becky will finish some remaining courses this summer and we will Install her in the Fall.

We praise and thank the Lord for His goodness of sending workers into the Harvest – and that LifeBridge is able to be a part of this vital and exciting effort!
Please continue to keep Daniel, Rachel, Becky, and the people of Hanover Lutheran as well as our own community in prayer!
