“A Busy Summer Ahead”
As I look over the calendar for the next several months, I can see that it is going to
be a busy summer at FPC. Our extensive bathroom/office remodel project will begin in
the next month with a complete renovation and rebuild of the area from my office to the
conference room at the north end of the main floor. This remodel will include new men’s
and women’s bathrooms and a family bathroom. We will also be remodeling the old pas-
tor’s office to accommodate a large conference room where meetings and special gathering can take place. A
letter was recently sent out to all of our members asking for your financial help in raising $150,000 to make
this project possible. We hope to complete this project around the first part of October.
As usual, Vacation Bible School will be offered from June 6-10 with a number of children expected
again this year. Many children and families say that we offer one of the best Bible schools in town with lots
of activities, events, and outings offered during a fun and faith filled week.
We will host a garage/bake sale on Saturday, June 18 from 9-3 with all proceeds going to our bath-
room remodeling project. If you have items to donate, please contact Teena or Karla Bracken to make ar-
rangements for pick up or to help with this special event. Items for the bake sale are also needed.
We will offer a mini-mission trip to Stanford, Montana, from June 20-22 where we will be taking our
Vacation Bible School program on the road. We will be helping Jack Bell and the Stanford Presbyterian
Church provide their VBS program for three days. If you would like to help with this, whether you are a
youth or adult, please let me know.
Our annual community block party is scheduled for Wednesday, August 17 from 5:30-7:30 PM. This
annual party is a great way to invite friends and neighbors to a fun evening of free food, games, and fellow-
ship. We will have free food, music, games, and the dunk tank once again this year!

Flower Sponsorship Opportunities
Our flower sign-up sheet is located on the back table in the narthex. We invite you to sign up for a particular Sunday to sponsor the flowers either in honor or memory of someone or a special event such as an anniversary, birthday, etc. Suggested donation is $30. Special thanks to those who donated flowers during the month of May. They are Pat Clark, Don Reed, Gary & Judy Lohnbakken, and the Presbyterian Women’s group. Following worship each Sunday, the flowers are distributed to church members and friends in the hospital, nursing homes, or among those who are unable to attend church.
Church Mice: The church mice have noticed that often younger people tell those who have helped or supported them what an influence that mentor has been in their lives. In re-flecting at this time of graduation of our church seniors, it with bitter sweet emotion that we bid them best wishes. The influence has been reflexive - these young people have been a blessing to our church community and have influenced our own Christian journeys tremendously. We have watched them grown from children into kind, caring adults ready to take the next steps on the pathway of life. Love and God's blessings to Zoey Bittner (Senior High), Carter Gall (Senior), Hunter Skov (Skyview), Sam McClain (Senior), Sam Cormier (Central), Jay Almer (Senior), and Elise Keenum (Central).
Food Bank
Sunday
Our church was one of the first churches in Billings to desig-nate a monthly Food Bank Sun-day. We invite you to bring some non-perishable food items with you on the first Sunday of each month as we help local people in need. Our next Food Bank Sunday will be held on June 5. Thanks to all who brought food last month!

We extend our condolences to the family of Mary “Scottie” Jones who passed away at the Wheatland Memorial Nursing Home in Harlowton on Sunday, May 15. A memorial service for Scottie will be held in our church sometime in the next several months. Judy Nusbaum is doing well following back surgery several weeks ago.

Mission News
The Mission Committee had a guest at their May monthly meeting. Mary Lou Affleck of the Rebuilding Together Group spoke about the volunteer organization that she works with whose mission is “A safe and healthy home for every person.” They work to preserve and re-vitalize affordable housing, assuring that low-income homeowners, from the elderly, the disa-bled, and families with children can live in warmth, safety, and independence. They try to fix or help with at least one thing for each family. They can’t do everything for everyone. The Mission Committee is considering how we can work with the Rebuilding Together Group. The Noisy Offering was received on Sunday, May 22 during worship and went to the Peace Lutheran Church’s food pantry. You gave $457.10. Thank you! The mission committee matched these funds making the total $914.20. The money will go a long way to feeding the hungry people in our area this summer. We helped feed our about 130 children and adults at the Friendship House for Christian Service at the annual “end of school cook out” on Friday, May 20th. Thank you for your help. Friendship House is a Chris-tian organization which provides ministry to children and families living in the Billings Southside. We grilled
hamburgers and hotdogs and served potato chips, watermelon, ice cream, and refreshments. Ruth Brown, a PC(USA) missionary in the Congo, will be sharing during our wor-ship service on Sunday, June 5th. Ruth has served as a missionary to the Congo, a large country located in central Africa, since 2011. She works to bring sustainable food supplies to this impoverished land. Ruth will share her work through both words and pictures and will be available after church for further questions and conversation.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. —1 Peter 4:10
Relay for Life Events
Our church’s Relay for Life team will be selling luminaries in the gallery on Sundays June 12 and 19. Luminaries are $10 and can be given in honor or in memory of a loved one.
