Pentegost: June 8
Sunday, June 8 | Wear Red
As we celebrate the Festival of Pentecost in worship, our church paraments change to red, and many Lutherans enjoy wearing red to church. Pentecost, which translates as “the fiftieth day,” commemorates the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2) and the fulfillment and conclusion of the Easter season. "Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful people, and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Alleluia!"

MONTHLY small-setting communion
Next date Monday, June 9 | Noon | Sanctuary
If mobility challenges or concerns about crowds have kept you from in-person church worship or Communion, you are warmly invited to a special small-setting worship opportunity on the first Monday of each month. Our pastors look forward to meeting you for orders of worship.

Parking Impacts
As we embark on the construction of our new ministry facilities, we will also be adapting to significant parking changes due to new construction zones, trucks, and building materials on campus.
- Parking limitations are temporary; when construction is complete, full parking capacity will be restored.
- Carpooling is encouraged.
- For worshipers with mobility challenges, we hope to prioritize use of the 72 remaining campus parking spaces (which include 11 handicap-access spaces) not affected by construction zones.
- Passenger drop-off is available at the west lobby entrance, with a new temporary exit created.
- Extra parking is available at Edward Jones, the Village Bar, and at the north-end Schnuck plaza lot.
