The hospitals in our Fox Valley area are being more restrictive than ever in
allowing your church to know if you are a patient there. Unless you or a family
member contacts the church or Pastor John, he will not be able to offer the spiritual
care you will need while hospitalized. (They often don’t follow through all the time
when you ask them to contact us!) Please do not consider it an inconvenience for
Pastor John to visit you. If you don’t want anything mentioned in public he will
keep your confidentiality. He wants to be there for you when you need him.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BIBLE STUDY? Pastor John is leading Bible Study
on Wednesdays at Christ Lutheran West Bloomfield at 9am and Fridays at Calvary
Lutheran Waupaca at 9:30am. Come join us as we study God’s Word together!
Please note: The last day of midweek Bible Study before Summer break will be
May 20th at CELC and May 22nd at Calvary.
WEBSITE: If anyone would like to add anything to our church & school website,
please contact Roxanne Taggatz at 715-467-1234 or [email protected].
If anyone would like to fund the flowers on the altar or the bulletin on Sunday
morning here at CELC, please be sure to let the church office know. We can put
something in the bulletin about it in honor of someone’s birthday, anniversary, or in
memory of a loved one who is now with the Lord.

April was not a good stewardship month. We were well short of meeting
expenses. The Church Planning Council approved the transfer of $5,725 from the
Bathroom Fund to Building and Maintenance Fund. More information will be
provided on this at the May 17 Voters Meeting. In addition, all receipts received on
May 3 have been used to pay current due expenses. The major expenses have been
covered, but there is still $430 of outstanding bills, mostly for member
reimbursement for expenses they incurred. I apologize to those members who are
waiting to be reimbursed. We simply do not have the funds at this
time. Additionally, I was only able to pay a modest amount against our outstanding
fuel bill. We currently owe L&L Propane $10,000 in outstanding fuel bills.
Together in Christ,
Treasurer
