Pictorial Directory Appointments
Pictures for our new pictorial directory will be taken June 19-23, June 26-30, and July 5-7. Only 25% of our congregation has signed up and we'd like to get 100% participation! You can make your appointment online through the link on our church website or at church after all services next weekend. Every family who participates will receive a free copy of the directory and a free 8x10 photo. No additional photo purchase is required. Volunteers are also needed to help staff the appointment table and to check people in during the photography sessions. Please sign up at the Welcome Center or contact Michelle Gonzales if you can help.

Haiti Mission Trip Donations Needed
This June, over twenty students and adults will be serving in Haiti. The teams will be leading Vacation Bible Schools and donations for items used during VBS are needed. In Les Cayes, we are still in need of laptop computers for the new Computer School that will be setup. A donation list and sign-up sheets are available at the Welcome Center. Place your donations in the bin near the Welcome Center by Sunday, June 10. Most importantly, the team members ask for your prayers for our safety as we travel and for the people of Haiti, who are in need spiritually and physically. If you have any further questions, please contact Tim Kaufmann, Director of Student Ministry at 847-359-3451.

Home Improvement Projects Still Needed for Summer Serving Camp
Do you know someone who lives in the Palatine area who is handicapped, elderly, etc. and could use some assistance with a home improvement project? Projects need to be appropriate for a small group of 6th-8th grade students to do this summer at Serving Camp, June 25-29. Projects such as yard work, clean-up, or outdoor painting (perhaps a fence, deck, or garage) would be perfect. Please contact Joy Kaufmann, Student Minister at joy@reachgrowserve.org as soon as possible. We want to serve; we need your help.

Baptism
Baptized Sunday morning is Charlotte Joy Wilkins, infant daughter of Elizabeth and Jeffrey. Sponsors are John and Jacqueline Goleeke. We welcome Charlotte into God's family.

Altar Flowers
The flowers decorating the altar this weekend are provided by Pete and Sylva Muecke, in loving memory of Sandy and by Fred and Maryann Ostrem, celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary. Thank you and God's blessings to you!
