​Dekorra Lutheran Church
Weekly Announcements – June 6th, 2021

UPCOMING AT DEKORRA

Current Indoor Mask Policy
On May 13, 2021, the Council updated our indoor policy. 1) We will continue to have limited seating, required masking for everyone 6 or older (unless they have a medical excuse), temperature checks, and using the cups with both communion elements. Windows and doors can remain closed and people can remove their masks when they consume the elements. 2) At other gatherings in the church, masks are not required IF EVERYONE at that meeting has been vaccinated.

Limited Indoor Sunday Worship Begins Again
LIMITED INDOOR, PARKING LOT, ONLINE
After Easter, we will continue to have limited seating in the sanctuary at 10:00am Sunday worship for this season of the pandemic. We hope and expect to be able to expand that capacity as vaccination progresses and infection rates improve.

The Stewardship Committee is looking for a new team member to help count the weekly offering.
Our team consists of four, two-person teams, that are scheduled to count once every four weeks, with additional times scheduled during Lent, Easter, Christmas, etc., when we have additional services.
You would work with your partner to count the offering after service, reconcile the deposit and drop the deposit off at the HomeTown Bank in Poynette or Harmony Grove. If you would be interested in joining our team, contact Sharon Kampen at 608-635-4745 or kampensg@yahoo.com.

WANT HOME COMMUNION OR PASTORAL CARE?
Wanting a little Dekorra touch? Need an ear or some advice? Missing Communion? Worried or not feeling well? Pastor Sterling is excited to talk with you and minister to you! We can connect by phone, Zoom, or for a short in-person visit. Call or email us! Do not be shy. The pastor is here for you. 😊

Please HELP
If you are worshipping outdoors, please tune your radio to 90.5fm. Please do not use the building’s internet to stream the service. Our friends who are worshipping from home are experiencing a poor connection. Thanks!

Vacation Bible School – Families interested in their kids participating in a short Vacation Bible School this summer during the evenings of Friday August 20th and Saturday August 21st , should RSVP to Sheila at sdgemp1949@gmail.com by 5pm on Friday, June 18th. This early RSVP will help us get a sense of what we will need to make this faithful and fun experience happen for the kiddos this year.

Scholarships for Post High School Study
DEADLINE JULY 1ST
The Steuer-Mitchell Perpetual Education Fund has been established at Dekorra Lutheran Church (DLC) through a generous gift from the estate of Robert E. Mitchell. Two scholarships are available this year. We hope to award a scholarship to both a Lodi and a Poynette student. Go to https://bit.ly/3rEGqu1 (or www.dekorralutheran.org/news and look for the 3/19 post) for how to apply.

Sermon Series on the Fourth Gospel – Sundays at Worship, April 25th – July 11th
We are going to take a break from the usual schedule of readings. Instead, we are going to do something special and ambitious; over the next three months we are going to attempt to have an experience of Christ through the signs, explanations, and complete narratives in the story of Jesus we call “John”. You will likely notice that our typical tiny samples from many books each Sunday have been replaced with abundant stories from John’s Gospel. The aim is to experience the entire Gospel, from the first verse of the first chapter to the last verse of the last chapter.

“Healing Seekers” Prayer and Healing Worship – Next Meeting, June 15th, at 1:00p
The death of a close friend or loved one is not the only thing that causes us grief. The death of a community or relation, or even being unwilling separated from a community or relationship can cause pain. This is true whether that community was a group of friends, a workplace, or even a congregation. This service will be a time of worship, hearing and interpreting scripture, prayer, and constructive conversation about the grief and pain that comes from losing a community. Weather permitting, we will meet outside among the trees in the back behind the church. Otherwise, we will meet in the sanctuary using indoor safety protocols. 
  
You do not need to be a member of Dekorra to participate. The only requirement is that you are struggling with the loss of a community and are open to healing that hurt. A special invitation is extended to anyone who used to be connected to the Christian community at 1st Lutheran in Lodi. Please see the pastoral column in May’s newsletter for more information.  

Sharon Hatch’s- Sending Service will be on June 13th

Ann Carncross’- Installation Service will be on June 20th
