May 3, 2026
Flowers on the altar for Sunday, May 3, are given to God’s glory by Elli Fisher in memory of loved ones.
People We Are Praying For (We included prayers for these individuals in our recent church services): Gretchen Olsen, Jeanette Koberg, Marsha Natvig, Ann Thompson, Pastor Glenn Smith, Katie Tweit, Lorena Merseth, and Asher Graham and all our loved ones who have been sick and facing ongoing health challenges. We also prayed for the Crock family as they mourn the death of Brian’s father, Doug; for Chuol Buol and his family as they mourn the death of Chuol’s brother, Yach; and for Mr. Nathan Bauer as he considers the call to be the Principal of our Cornerstone Lutheran School.
