Today’s special music offering will be provided by our own

Lou Seiler. He’ll be playing and singing the beautiful “What

a Wonderful World” first made famous by Louis Armstrong back

in 1967. Thanks for sharing your talents with us today, Lou!

Last Sunday’s Spaghetti Dinner & Talent Show event was an amazing success and a lot of fun! Show organizer and Master of Ceremonies, Scott McPherson, writes, “It was a night to remember for both talent and audience alike. There were so many hugs, pictures, and smiles that we all got to feel like champions. The Holy Spirit was certainly with us!

Thanks to the great audience, to all the hard-working volunteers, and especially to all the wonderful participants. Now, if someone could help me dust off my ballet shoes, I'll be ready for next year!”

DVD copies of the show are available for $2. Contact Mark Young (mark@firstunitedpc.org) or the church office if you’d like to order one.

Coming Up This Week

Get out your old bicycle and join us for our weekly Sunday Afternoon Bike Ride! Everyone’s invited to meet at Green Isle Park in Allouez today at 4pm to ride the East River Trail. Our rides generally last about an hour with the pace determined by the group. Helmets are required for all riders, and Wisconsin Trail Passes are needed for those 17 and older on some trails. For more information, contact Becky Nyberg at 920-606-6438. Come out and enjoy some great exercise with old (and new) friends.

More Stuff You Should Know…

† Do you have any special musical gifts you’d like to share during a summer worship service like Lou’s doing this morning? Whether it’s instrumental or vocal, solo or a group, please sign up for a Sunday on the white board in the Music Room. Dates are limited, so sign up soon! † Attention all singers! We’re putting together a special choir called the Joyful Noisemakers to sing in church two weeks from today. The only rehearsal will be that morning at 8:30am. Everyone’s invited to give it a try, so come be a joyful noisemaker! † Our Men’s Club will be holding a planning meeting on Sunday, June 25, after church to discuss upcoming projects and future plans. Men of all ages in our church family are invited to get involved and join the fun. † The Presbyterian Pantry “Item of the Month” for June is Jell-O. Please drop off donations in the Gathering Area near the Webster entrance.

† Update from the kitchen: Please don’t leave coffee grounds on the counter when using our church kitchen. They can be good compost, but not if they’re left on the counter and become moldy. Please just take them out to our compost bin. Also, if you use any dish cloths or towels for an event, we ask that you wash them and return them to our kitchen. Thank you!

Our Presbyterian Women are planning another summer of “On the Go” events this year. The first is coming up this Tuesday. Pack your picnic lunch and meet at the church at 10am to carpool to “Echota Gardens” in West De Pere. Our group will explore their unique planter designs and enjoy the animals in their small farm setting. Please RSVP to Susan Leiber as soon as possible at 337-0979.

Future plans include trips to “West of the Lake Gardens” in Manitowoc on July 19 and “Edgewood Orchard Galleries” in Fish Creek on August 1. Mark your calendars for these events, and contact Susan for more information.
