As the children prepare the congratulations banner for high school graduation, we’ll use Dr. Seuss’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go” to consider our own life's journey of ups and downs, and endless possibilities.

Living in Balance by Dr. Joel and Michelle Levey is a powerful, inspiring, and practical guide for everyone seeking to realize greater wisdom, compassion, resilience, creativity, well-being, and health in their lives. It points toward mindfulness, personal mastery, and resilience as being the keys to thriving and living in balance. The group meets each Wednesday at 6:45 am in the church Lounge and on Zoom (The link can be found on the website calendar). All are welcome.

All are invited to gather for fellowship from 10:30-11:30 am in the church lounge. In addition to replenishing the FCC prayer shawl rack in the narthex, the group has delivered four shawls to Mental Health America Lakeshore, 25 baby hats to Aurora Medical Center of Sheboygan County obstetrics department, and we are collecting dish soap for the Sheboygan County Food Pantry. Handmade cotton dish cloths will be attached to the soap before delivery. Feel free to take one of the shawls in the rack and pass it along to someone who is in need of comfort. Small prayer-squares are also available.  Mary Klein, leader.

Saturdays, June 13th & 20th, 9 am
Meet in the parking lot of the Black River Trails (off of S. 12th St) Meet for a morning bird walk with Pastor Dave, who says, "This is not exercise, but a slow walk to listen and watch for birds. Birds are their own beings, so I can make few guarantees, although you could very well see one or more species new to you."

Saturday, June 13th, 5:30pm
Join us in Lucas Hall to view “Behold the Earth,” a one hour documentary that takes a gentler look at our changing earth and climate through personal exploration and storytelling and is an invitation to remember the joy in connecting to the outdoors. It features Dr. Cal DeWitt (retired emeritus professor from UW Madison) and also famous scientists like Dr. E.O. Wilson (biologist and entomologist, deceased) and Dr. Katherine Hayhoe (climate scientist). This film might be most enjoyed by teens and up as there is some brief footage of climate damage.

Bring a dish to pass for a potluck dinner and discussion about local opportunities and ways each of us can do more beholding and giving reverence to the world all around us. Hannah Harder and Pastor Dave, leaders. Sign up here.

Ushers Needed - Would you consider joining an usher team? The commitment is about two hours every three months (four times a year). After many years of service, a number of our ushers have retired or moved and our teams can no longer support this important job. Please message the office or talk to a current usher to find out more and to join a team.

Coffee Hour Hosts Needed - MANY upcoming Sundays are open. We’re looking for folks to host this fellowship time following worship. All supplies (coffee, cookies) are provided. We’ll send you instructions prior to your Sunday. Sign-up to host here - Coffee Hour Host

Altar Flowers Needed - sign up here for Altar Flowers - bring flowers from your garden, the farmer’s market, or order from local florist. Give them in memory or in celebration.
