Announcements for the Week of May 17, 2026
THE FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR are given by Diane Johnson in memory of loved ones.
WE WELCOME OUR GUESTS: We are glad to have you worship with us today. We ask our guests to please sign our guest register. If you have any questions, please ask any member or Pastor.
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE: that is interested in learning more about Salem, please give contact information to Pastor Doletzky.
WE THANK OUR GUEST PREACHER: We thank the Lord for retired Pastor Phil Paustian who led our worship services today and preached the Word of God to us today. We ask the Lord to continue to richly bless Pastor Paustian as he continues to serve his Lord and us in various ways.
EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Today we heard Jesus tell us, “repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations,” (Luke 24:47). There is only one place to take our sins to: Jesus. There is only one place we find forgiveness of our sins: Jesus. Let everyone know the good news that only Jesus can bring.
THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS: Judy Hubert, Janice Lancour, David Herbst Jr, Ken Leinberger, Lisa Nord and Mary Hupy. We pray for all of our shut-ins. We pray for our Synod and our missionaries. We pray for our troops, our leaders in the congregation, and in our city, state and nation. We pray for our straying members and those who don’t know Jesus.
NO BIBLE CLASS TODAY: Pastor and Carrie are gone this weekend attending graduation at Martin Luther College for their son, Titus and their daughter-in-law, Emily.
NEW BIBLE CLASS NEXT WEEK!! Irreconcilable: A Study of the Pharisees and Their Conflict With Jesus. Who were the Pharisees and why did they clash with Jesus so often? Come as we begin this about their origins to their opposition of Jesus. We will look at their teachings and how we still have to fight some of the same false ideas the Pharisees had today. Each person who attends will get a person study booklet as we cover these topics over the course of 11 different lessons.
THE NEW Forward in Christ: for May is here and ready to be picked up on the counter in the hallway.
THE NEW Meditations: that begin at the end of May are out and ready to be picked up. Please think about giving one to someone who could use encouragement in God’s Word.
PASTOR: and Carrie will be attending their son and daughter-in-law’s graduations at Martin Luther College in New Ulm Minnesota new weekend. Please contact Pastor Phil Paustian at (906)428-2650 if you are in need of a Pastor. Pastor and Carrie plan on coming back late on Monday the 18th.
LAST SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS: The Last Sunday School class of this school year is today. We thank our Sunday school teachers and all the parents that worked hard to teach our children about the wonders of God’s love in Jesus. Sunday School will resume the second Sunday in September.
