PRAY FOR THESE
Linda Kiefer, Mary Lepper (Home); all those we name in our hearts.
AT THE FONT
Chloe Leighann Moser, daughter of John & Casey Moser, will be baptized at the 8:30 service.

God bless Chloe as she grows up in this identity and serves in Jesus’ name.

We offer our prayers and support to Carole Everhardt, on the passing of her mother, Eileen Malone, this past week. As Easter people we hold on to our loving and living Savior!

SWEDISH CHILDREN’S CHOIR
On July 1 at 7:00 p.m., the Young Swedish Singers will present a concert of Christian music at our church. During their 18 day Midwest tour, they will be guests in almost 400 host homes. Mark your calendars now for this special evening.
HOST FAMILIES WANTED!
We would like you to be part of a great cultural exchange event taking place here at Zoar on Friday, July 1st. On this date, Young Swedish Singers will be presenting a concert at 7:00 p.m. benefitting Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat. We are looking for 25 hosting families who are willing and able to accommodate two people each and provide a bit of local hospitality for one evening. The responsibilities are very few and the potential for novelty is great: making friends in distant lands and possibly learning a couple of phrases in Swedish in the process. Please contact Melissa Miller (419-874-6112) at your earliest convenience. Thanks!
