Announcements for the Week of April 26, 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.
BULLETINS FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO SUNDAYS are available in the pamphlet holder on the table in the hallway.
EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Today we heard the Holy Spirit tell us through the Apostle Peter, 24He himself carried our sins in his body on the tree so that we would be dead to sins and alive to righteousness. By his wounds you were healed. (1 Peter 2:19-25). Where does a person take their sins? Any place but Jesus will be fruitless and will only bring pain here and forever in hell. But we know the Good Shepherd who carried our sins in his body on the cross. We can tell any and all that by His wounds they are healed! Tell others about the amazing love of the Good Shepherd.
THOSE TO KEEP IN OUR PRAYERS: Judy Hubert, Bonnie Hannemann, 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.
COMMUNION PROCEDURE: We will use both the Common Cup and the Individual Cups as we celebrate Communion. The procedure will be as follows: 1) The bread will be distributed; please hold out your hand for the bread. 2) The individual cups will be distributed. Take an individual cup if you wish. 3) The common cup will then be distributed to those who did not take one of the individual cups. 4) Please leave the individual cups in the rack on the communion rail. If you are unable to come to the Altar for communion please speak to one of the Ushers. Pastor will bring communion to you in the pew.
BIBLE CLASS TODAY: Today we will be finish looking at the Old Testament Spring Festivals and begin looking at the Fall Festivals in the Old Testament believer’s worship life.
NEW MEMBER DINNER/CONFIRMATION: Our new member dinner will be on Sunday, May 3rd after late worship (Confirmation Sunday). It will be a potluck dinner to welcome our new members in the last six months, plus the confirmation of Ben Halase. Please take a minute to sign up on the sheets on the table in the hallway. If you know what you plan on bringing, mark it down; if you haven’t decided just put your name under a category and surprise us with your dish! Everyone is welcome whether you bring a dish to pass or just bring yourself. We hope everyone can come to be part of the welcoming of our six newest members to the Salem family. How great is the Lord!
CONFIRMATION EXAMINATION: will be this coming Friday, May 1st at 6:00 pm. It will be held in the large classroom. Everyone is welcome to come and support Ben Halase!
A MAN IS NEEDED: This year our Northern Wisconsin District gathers in convention at Fox Valley Lutheran High School in Appleton, WI. Pastor is looking for a male delegate to represent our congregation at the convention that takes place on June 9th and 10th. If you are interested and available, please speak with Pastor. Thank you.
LILIES: Everyone is invited to stop by the table in the hallway with the potluck sign up and take a lily or two home! They are great to plant outside and enjoy next year.

THE LORD CALLED: Hank Hoier to himself this past Tuesday, April 21st at the age of 82. The family will have a graveside service on June 20th. Arrangements have been made with Skradski’s. We rejoice in the comfort that our Risen Lord gives to Donna, Hank’s wife, his children, and family, and all of God’s people. Blessed be Hank’s memory.
LWMS SPRING RALLY: Salem’s generous free-will offerings provided $350 to the LWMS Spring Rally mission projects, $210 to CAMM (Central Africa Medical Mission), and $265 to our March Befriend a Mission, Christ Alone Lutheran Church in Arlington, TN. Pastor Jim Turriff of Christ Alone shared that he and Mrs. Turriff loved the homemade cards and gift cards from our Sunday School children and the offering will be a real blessing to help them host upcoming outreach events. They had 82 people attend their Easter worship service – a new record, and appreciate our thoughtfulness and prayers! LWMS Spring Rally notes are available on the LWMS bulletin board.
SPRING WORK DAY: The Spring Work Day is scheduled for May 9th beginning at 9:00 am. Please mark your calendars for this and come to help clean up our property from the past winter. If you are able, bring a few of your outside work tools for the various tasks around the property. If you’d rather be inside, there are several things that need to done indoors as well. If it rains, the make up work day will be on May 23rd at 9:00am.

APRIL FORWARD IN CHRIST OVERSTOCK! Through a mishap with the postal system, we have received double our normal number of Forward In Christ. When you pick up your copy, please consider grabbing several extra to share with family and friends or to leave in waiting rooms that you may visit. If all the copies aren’t taken, we will have to just recycle them. This seems like a good opportunity to share Jesus with our community!
WORSHIP NOTES FOR KIDS AND ADULTS: In the back of church there is a podium with papers for note taking during worship. There are pages for both kids and adults. Taking a few notes during worship can help with retention of key points and offer a reference to look back on throughout the week. It’s excellent for teens and adults. For the kiddos, it establishes a wonderful habit of paying attention during worship and being able to absorb concepts. The kids in catechism class are assigned sermon studies, so getting a head start on that frame of mind will make it a breeze when they get to that age.
CENTRAL AFRICA MEDICAL MISSION (CAMM) APRIL NEWSLETTER: A copy of the April CAMM Newsletter can be found on the hallway cabinet by the Christian greeting cards. Our newsletter this month is written by a collection of people who recently participated in the Short-Term Medical Camp in Kenya put on by CAMM. You will hear about the work they did for God’s people in Kenya. Prior CAMM Newsletters can be found in the orange binder that is also located by the Christian greeting cards. Monetary donations can be sent to: WELS Gift Processing, N16 W23377 Stone Ridge Drive, Waukesha, WI 53188 with checks made out to CENTRAL AFRICA MEDICAL MISSION. Please continue to pray for CAMM and the people we serve in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia. Any questions about CAMM can be directed to Kathy Grill, CAMM Contact Woman for the WELS Lake Superior Circuit.
