Welcome to Pleasant View Evangelical Lutheran Church Inviting… Nurturing… Growing… Serving… Good News is Inviting Start to think about that friend of new neighbor who might not have a church. Invite them to come with you. God may have already opened a door in their life; now they only need someone to make a connection. Baptism of the Boyer's Children on Mother's Day May 12, 2024, 11:00am-12:00noon I am excited about the baptism of the Boyer children on Mother's Day. It's been a year since we baptized the Bower children. We are really blessed. I have been working on the details with the family but I wanted to check in with you guys so that we can welcome them. They understand that everyone wants to get home to celebrate Mother's Day with their families. I suggested a reception/welcoming on the first Sunday of June. They think that would be a good idea. I do too. What do you think? They have expressed the desire to have an empty chair or a place on the front pew to remember their mother and grandmother, Pat Luders. They will have some flowers to designate the space. They will bring the flowers, probably a single rose. I can bring a step stool for them unless someone else wants to bring one. We have the certificates and the candles to give to them. Larry and Jackie Meeks were looking into getting more of the Thrivent medallions as they are Thrivent members. I haven't heard an update on that yet. If they are unavailable, we have some crosses or maybe we could buy something else for each of them. We gave the other children white cloths with embroidered crosses to help blot the water. We do not have any of these but we could purchase simple handkerchiefs if you would like to do that. There are a few white gift bags left over from last year. I think it would be nice to give these to these children as well. It was wonderful to hear that Cody was baptized in the same font as an infant. In a way, we will be welcoming him home with his family. Wonderful! May God's Peace Be With You Pastor Phyllis Diamond

May God continue to heal, protect and strengthen us as a community of faith so that all may know God's love. COMMUNION OPTIONS Due to the current level of COVID-19 in the community and the preference of some congregational members, prefilled (disposable) communion packets are located in the Narthex. Please pick up a packet of wine/wafer or juice/wafer if you choose this form of Holy Communion rather than participating in Intinction. During Communion you may either bring your disposable packet with you to the front of the sanctuary or you may remain in your seat.
