The Week of May 18

Dear Swedlanda Family and Friends,

The tulips are finally out! We have had some beautiful weather recently and the fields are being planted. Holy Trinity Sunday was the last Sunday before going to our summer schedule, as next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. Services will be at 9:00 a.m. I hope you will have an opportunity to enjoy the wonderful creation God has provided for us.

Psalm 8

O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

The sermon for the day is available through the link on the right hand side of the page. It’s called “A Holy Calling into Community with The Holy Trinity”.

The quilters of Swedlanda have produced a beautiful quilt for the Green Lake Bible Camp Quilt Auction, which will be held on Saturday, July 19. It is hanging in the entryway of the church, should you want a closer look.

A few announcements are included below. Have a God-inspired week.
