WELCOME TO ALL SALEM MEMBERS AND GUESTS. Psalm 119 states, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” May today’s worship service fill you with joy, deepen your relationship with God and enlighten you for the week ahead.

IF YOU ARE A VISITOR, we invite you to fill out a pew card, sign the guest book in the entryway and join us for coffee in the social hall following worship.

THANK YOU to Samantha VanBinsbergen for serving as our liturgist today.

THANK YOU to the eighth and ninth grade confirmation class for making the Pentecost banner you see hanging on the front wall today. They worked on this project during Lent.

LOOKING AHEAD: The Mark SOS Family is planning a progressive picnic for Monday, June 4, as the event they are responsible for providing. All members are invited to intend (this includes all members of each family) All food will be provided. Look for a postcard in the mail that provides all the information. Please sign up on the sheet on the kiosk in the entryway if you are planning to attend so we know how many to plan for.

THANK YOU FOR YOU DONATIONS last Sunday to the “Noisy Offering”, which totaled $85.83. Our kitchen remodeling debt is slowly, but surely, on the decline. After worship today, please take a look at the Silent Auction items at the back of the social hall that have been donated so far. Bidding sheets are available so you may begin bidding today. See the yellow insert for a list of donations and more information.
