Summer is here! I look forward to preparing for next year and hope it will be as great as this past Sunday school year.

We ended our Sunday school year with a fun song by the students led by Pastor Steve on the guitar, “Fill My Cup”, with a Norwegian “Uf Duh” added in on the last chorus.

During Sunday school, the kids enjoyed a “Glow: Spot the difference” challenge.  Two rooms contained a table of items; some items were the same and some were different. The items glowed under blacklight. They walked through each room and tried to remember what was the same.  In both, “Jesus” was always the same. God never changes. 

Earlier in the year, the third through seventh grade students were asked to give me their favorite Bible verse and reason why. 23 students shared their favorite verse.  They were given a framed poster containing the verse. 

PERFECT ATTENDANCE: Alannah Skalet and Monica Brand; EXCELLENT ATTENDANCE: Malayna Brand, Ryder Messenger, Mannix Darr, Isaak Michel, Haylee Eddy, Temprence Volkman, Claire Shepard, Avree Connaughty, Megan Rislove, Beatty Darr, Gibson Darr, and Isaac Oian. Students received a certificate and a token for ice cream at The Creamery.

Congratulations and best wishes to the graduating seniors from Rushford Lutheran: Jaelyn Connaughty, Chealsy Eide, Faith Eide, Shayna Hanson, Kjersta Hinz, Abby Hoegh, Brendon Honken, Cameron Johnson, Cole Knutson, Lauren Lawston, Megan Oian, Landon Skalet, Elizabeth Stiever, and Brennan Volkman. May the Lord guide them in their decisions and lead them in their faith.  They were recognized during worship on May 19th after attending breakfast with Pastor Steve and council representatives.  The RLC Women also made a quilt for each graduate. Congratulations to the Servanthood Scholarship recipients, Jaelyn Connaughty, Kjersta Hinz, Cole Knutson, and Megan Oian.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! There is a need for volunteers for teachers, substitutes, and helpers. I pray that you decide to volunteer in some way.  Without volunteers, we wouldn’t have the great Sunday school that we do.  Thank you to those who do volunteer in whatever way they can. Please contact me as soon as possible if you’d like to volunteer at Sunday School.

Summer Bible Camp Funds are available to send kids to camp!!!  Don’t miss out on this fun adventure!

Contact the office or myself for information!

Have a wonderful summer!
