ANNOUNCEMENTS This morning we welcome Nick Carncross who was born and raised in

Green Bay. He studied trumpet with Dr. Linda Cook at St. Norbert College and has most recently been studying with Dr. Adam Gaines at UW - Green Bay. Nick also has a studio of his own with a few students and performs with various groups within the community.

The Preble Park Windows Task Group made a recommendation to Session

after considering some professional advice from Coventry Glass in Appleton. The Session approved creating a new interior entry wall incorporating the stained glass insets (3 panels) on both sides of a new door. The estimated cost of the project is $5,500 and it will proceed when 80% of the funds have been raised. The Task Force believes that this option will have the most beautiful outcome and it honors the original setting of the glass at the Preble Park Church. If you would like to contribute to this project, please designate your gift for the “Preble Windows.”

The flowers at the parking lot entrance are given by Ginney Amen in

memory of her parents, Ed and Lottie Paulson’s 106th wedding anniversary. They were both dedicated, long-term members of our church.

Christian sympathy is extended to Clarence Mickelson upon the death of his brother, Raymond Mickelson.

Our transition team is: Chairperson Kirke Ryder, Amy Wittman, Jane

Bies and Wes Michael. Please pray for them as they work with Presbytery staff to plan next steps for pastoral leadership.

A farewell luncheon for Pastor Randy and Ann will be held on Sunday, June 9 following worship in Banner hall. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the hallway. The committee asks that you sign up as they need to know how many will attend for ordering food.

Sunday, June 16 is Graduation Recognition Sunday. Those being honored are Sophia Sperduto from Pulaski High School and DJ Young from West High School. Please join us for a reception following worship.

The Seymour Park neighborhood picnic is on Saturday, June 22, from

11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Grilled burgers, chicken breasts, hot dogs, and drinks will be provided from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and there will be activities and games for the kids, and more. We need people to bring chips and cookies and help with grilling (at 10:00 a.m.). The sign up sheet is on the bulletin board in the hallway.

At-Large Members of the 2020 NC committee are still being sought. The Session has scheduled a special congregational meeting for the election of officers on June 23 after worship. The nominees are:
