CROSSWORDS
"Summertime, and the livin' is easy" . . . but there's still a lot going on at Chapel of the Cross this month! On June 6th there will be a special Worship Service / Memorial Concert at 10:00 am. Leading us in worship will be the Chapel Ringers and the Chapel Singers as well as a number of talented instrumentalists and soloists from our congregation. When Don Scheck - who sang in the choir and was the first director of the Chapel Ringers - passed away two years ago, a number of members of both groups wanted to do a concert in his memory, but is just seemed to be "too soon" at that time. Now is the time, and the concert on the 6th will be in his memory and also in the memory of three other members of Chapel of the Cross who were also part of our music program - Elsie Borgardt, Bev Hecht, and Myron Schrader - as well as all of our other members who are now with the Lord. I hope that you will all want to be a part of this special Service and Concert on June 6th.
A team from Chapel of the Cross will again be taking part in this year's Relay for Life at Case High School beginning at 6 pm on June 11th and 12th. Thanks to those of you who donated baked goods for the Bake Sale held at the Educators Credit Union on Memorial Day weekend as well as to all who have purchased snacks or helped in other says. It's still not too late to sponsor one of the team members from our church: Eileen Frederickson, Sue Goldsworthy, Deborah Grieve, Joan Hoppe, Sharon Kristiansen, Eunice Matter, Carole Miller, Audrey Scheck, Becky Schmierer, Howard Shaw, Kathy (Hecht) Smith, Ann Ulrick, Beth Verbeten, Jackie Wahl, or me. Speak to one of us individually or donate on line by going to the Relay for Life Racine website http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=23185&pg=entry, and click on "Donate here." There you can either enter the name of one of our team members or the team name (Chapel of the Cross/Prisoners of Hope) and make your donation.
Coming up the end of June will be our Church Picnic on June 27th following the 10:00 am service. Brats, burgers, and hot dogs will be provided. We ask you to provide the rest. A sign-up sheet will be posted soon on the Fellowship Hall bulletin board.
I wish you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. See you in church! - Pastor Feldscher
