CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

The Board of Trustees is seeking volunteers to assist with grounds maintenance at Beautiful Savior.

Our biggest need is for mowers (preferably teams of 2-3) and individuals to weed our landscaping beds.

Mowing solo is about a 5-6 hour job every week (pre-construction) with trimming needed every two

weeks. We have two riding Skag lawnmowers so a team of two should be able to complete the

mowing job in less than 3 hours. Gas powered trimmers are also available to complete the trimming work.

If you are interested in helping complete this big task, either for a short term or for the mowing season,

please contact Tom Chapin (tomandryanlawn@aol.com).

Like we did last year, if you would like to take on the weeding for a single area

for the growing season that would be very helpful. All the Trustees ask is that if

you are unable to keep up with your area that you let us know so that someone

else can take over.

Individuals wanting to weed on an ad hoc basis, either Pastor Schultz or Pam

Wellons (pswellons@yahoo.com) can direct you to the areas of biggest need for

weeding and answer any of your questions. We just ask that you let one of us

know what you were able to complete so that we can direct others to areas that

still need attention.

If others are also working outside when you come, please follow whatever the

current guidelines for virus spread control are currently in place at the time.

BACKSNACK PROGRAM DONATIONS – As many of

you know Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church has been

supporting the Pioneer Trail Middle School BackSnack

Program for years. Ever since the school year was

into the bags. Originally this was supposed to go

through the end of the school year but we have been

asked to continue that support throughout the

summer months as well. As you can imagine this is not

a cheap endeavor and it does take some man hours to

accomplish. If you would like to help please consider

one of the following; donating food items, helping

pack / deliver bags and providing monetary support to

help pay for the food. If you would like to help please

contact Pastor Ada (pastorada@bslcks.org) for more

details. If you would like to make a monetary donation

SUNDAY SCHOOL In today’s Bible lesson the

amazing account of ”An Enemy Coverts.” On the road

to Damascus, Saul encounters the risen Lord, who

converts him from a persecutor of the Church to its

greatest missionary – Paul. God sends Ananias to lay

hands upon the temporarily blinded Saul, baptizing

him in the name of the living God. Despite the

disciples’ distrust of Saul’s motives, Barnabas speaks

3

boldly on Saul’s behalf. Discuss, “How does the

conversion of Saul change the history of the world?”

Stewardship Corner

The Apostle Paul wrote, “For we are His workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus for good works…” (Ephesians 2:10).

We are God’s masterpieces filled with the Holy Spirit. With

the same power that God used in the beginning to create

man from dust and later to resurrect Jesus from the dead

(Ephesians 1:19-20), He raises us out of spiritual death and

makes us new people—His workmanship, transformed

stewards—whose works give evidence that we are new

creatures. By the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacrament,

we are brought into God’s kingdom. As new people living

under the power of the Gospel, we desire to honor God and

obediently do the good works He has planned for us to do.

Because Christ has redeemed us from all wickedness and

purified for “Himself a people for His own possession,” we are

zealous for good works (Titus 2:14).

OUR FINANCIAL OFFERING IS A WAY TO PUT OUR

FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD INTO ACTION.

“With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give

thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good” (Psalm 54:6).
