Last Week
Living Faith marked Trinity Sunday with words about the Holy Spirt and its presence in our lives! We also honored and remembered military loved ones and all loved ones who have gone before us. We concluded our worship service by gathering outside the PUCC, overlooking Memorial Cemetery, to share a Memorial Day prayer.
Thank you to Pastor Halaas, Angela Catton, Dawn Richards, Peg McAllister and Tim Kass for their contributions to our worship!
This Week
Living Faith is on the road to St. Mark Lutheran Church in Storm Lake this coming Sunday! Services begin at 9:00 with a Fellowship Hour following at 10:00. We will finish out the morning by enjoying lunch together at King's Pointe's Regatta Restaurant overlooking Storm Lake!
We will meet in the PUCC parking lot and leave promptly at 7:45 for St. Mark for those who wish to car pool. St. Mark is located at 1614 W. 5th St. and the Regatta Restaurant is at 1520 E Lakeshore Drive.
We hope to migrate over with a large group to show our appreciation to the entire St. Mark congregation for their generous gift of All Creation Sings hymnal supplements!
Because of our out-of-town trip to Storm Lake on Sunday, we will not hold Faith + Fellowship on June 2.
Plan to return to Room 103 at 10:00 on Sunday, June 9th!

Ice Cream Days Parade Prep!
THANK YOU!! to everyone who came out to work on our handouts for the Ice Cream Days parade! These color-changing spoons will be a complement to our parade float theme of "Taste and See"! The parade takes place on Saturday, June 15 and we will be lining up on the boulevard at 8:30 prior to the 9:00 parade start! Here is how you can take part in this Living Faith outreach to the community of Le Mars and beyond!: Sign up on the sheets on the sign up table to ride our float or walk to hand out spoons and candy, to donate candy (please bring candy to Living Faith by June 9th - any candy will do except no chocolate, please!), or to take pictures of us Living Faith-ers if you are a parade watcher and then text them or email them to Kay or Angela! Thank you to those who took the unlabeled spoons home to do the homework of getting them parade ready!

Helping Those in Need
Once again, tornadoes have catastrophically hit our Iowa neighbors in Greenfield, Nevada and other communities. Along with keeping in prayer those affected and those assisting, if you would like to make a monetary contribution, these envelopes are out on the sign up table for you. Mark the space for Disaster Relief on the envelope and on your check's memo line, write US Tornadoes and your donation will be directed in that manner.
Congratulations, Graduate!
Congratulations to Heath Jr. (pictured in the middle with two other grandsons), grandson of Pastor and Bishop Halaas, who will graduate from LaSalle High School in Yakima, Washington. Pastor Halaas and Bishop Lorna will be traveling west this week to celebrate this milestone with their families! Safe travels to the Halaas' and congratulations, Heath!
