Announcements: May 26
EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATION
A special graduation worship service for St. Paul’s 8th graders will take place on Thursday, May 30 at 6:30pm at the Wonewoc campus. There will not be a regular Thursday service on May 30.
SUMMER BIBLE CLASS
Adult Bible class will continue through the summer at the usual Sunday time with “19 Minutes with Luther.” This year we’ll begin our study of the Apostles’ Creed. Topics covered include God’s creation and preservation, Christ’s person and work of salvation, and the nature of faith.
CHANGE FOR LIFE
Again, this year, our congregation is participating in the Change for Life Program to support the ministry of New Beginnings – A Home for Mothers. New Beginnings is a WELS based ministry that helps single mothers pave the way to self-sufficiency in a Christ-centered home. Pick up a baby bottle, take it home and have everyone in your household fill it with their spare change. On Father’s Day, return the filled bottle to church where the money collected will be sent to help the mothers and babies at New Beginnings.
H.O.P.E. WALK
The H.O.P.E walk will be held at the Hillsboro High School track on June 14 from 6—11pm. 100% of proceeds from this event is used locally to support those who have been affected by cancer. Along with the walk there are kids’ games, face painting, food stands, a pie sale and more.
PASTOR AND TEACHER CALL STATUS
Pastor Matthew Kuske has returned the call for associate pastor. We did not receive a graduate for either the 5-6 grade teaching vacancy, or a seminary graduate for the pastoral vacancy. However, the Lord has blessed the Kendall/Southridge congregations with a graduate, so they will have a full-time pastor again. A pastor call meeting will be held June 9 at 2:00pm at the Hillsboro campus.
POTLUCK AND FAREWELL FOR THE PETERSONS
On Sunday, June 2, we will be saying farewell, thank you, and Godspeed to Ashley and Sydney Peterson who will both be leaving to serve their Lord elsewhere. Join us for a meal after the 10:30am service in Wonewoc. Meat will be provided and if you can, please bring a side or dessert to pass.

MR. KUPSKY INTRODUCTION
Our new 7-8 Grade teacher will be arriving in Wonewoc on May 31 with a moving truck. We are looking for some help to unload his belongings on June 1. Please call the office if you can help. Here is a little bit about him:
Hello, My name is Justus Kupsky. I am very excited to start my ministry at St Paul’s. A little about me, I am originally from Manitowoc Wisconsin. I grew up in a small village 20 minutes outside of Manitowoc called Whitelaw. My parents are Sarah and Tim, and I have one sister who is younger named Brylee. I went to Bethany for grade school and Manitowoc Lutheran for high school. I then went on to MLC to become a teacher. I spent my first year in Saginaw Michigan then my last two in Valentine, NE. When I am not in school, my hobbies include going on walks, playing video games, playing and watching sports, and playing board games. I currently do not have any pets but would love to have some in the near future. I cannot wait to meet you all. God Bless, Justus
