The Brookdale neighborhood is having their annual garage sale on April 25th and 26th, and as a member of the community, Word of Life is going to join in on the activities! If you would like to donate items to Word of Life for the yard sale, you can bring them in the mornings Monday - Thursday or call the church office and speak to Pastor Schoon about scheduling a drop off. All monies collected will be going to our youth for a trip to New Orleans this summer as a part of the Lutheran Church's National Youth Gathering, a conference for youth that happens every three years and attracts about 40,000 youth and chaperones.

You are invited to a special service at Word of Life, Sunday, April 27th at 9:00am as we give thanks for all that the preschool has been able to accomplish this academic year. The highlight will be the preschool children singing during the service, as well as other fun and festive elements. All are welcome for a wonderful morning.

Mother's Day is May 11th, and you are invited to bring mom and the entire family for a special service at Word of Life. The service will be filled with inspiration for everyone as well as opportunities to connect with others. The service is at 9:00am with fellowship to follow.

You're invited to come as we start our new sermon series, "Leftovers," on Sunday, May 18th. This two-week series will dive into stories about how God uses what the world often discards to bring comfort and hope to people. It gives us the opportunity to talk about how God does not waste the circumstances of our lives either. There is hope in what we go through.

You're invited to register your children for our Vacation Bible School this summer in June.
