So grateful for the small crew of Confirmation students and their adults that came out today IN THE POURING RAIN to volunteer with Mr. Bob's Under the Bridge at Kosciuszko Park. There were more volunteers than guests, but the folks that did come out got much needed food, hygiene supplies, clothing, & bedding.

The Radke family was a beloved part of our Advent community for a long time. This past fall, daughter of the congregation Laura [Radke] Frank passed away after a battle with cancer. Her final wish was to be brought back home to Cedarburg and so her family will have a memorial service for her at Advent next week Tuesday, July 28 at 1pm. A visitation will be held from noon-1pm, with a reception to follow at 2pm.

When Margaret passed away in 2023 and then Gerry in 2025 we did not have a memorial for either of them, so the memorial for Laura next week will include a tribute to Margaret & Gerry as well. A fitting celebration for the family, since July 28th was both Margaret AND Gerry's birthday!

Friends of any of the Radkes are invited to attend, as we give thanks for their lives and honor their memories.

Have you signed your kids/ grandkids up to attend our annual VBS program Mon-Fri August 3-7, 9am-noon yet?

This year's "Who Is My Neighbor" theme is more timely than ever. In the parable of the good Samaritan that sets the theme for this year's VBS, Jesus makes clear that “neighbor” is not an abstract concept but rather a radically new relationship made possible by God’s reconciling grace. To be a neighbor is to be in relationship with the people God places in our midst, to both serve and be served by them. In “Who Is My Neighbor?” VBS participants will explore what this means – for them and for their community – by learning about neighbors in six parts of the globe over the five days.

We pray that the children in our Vacation Bible School will see the ways God has blessed them and their neighbors ― and the role they can play in God’s promise of a just world where all are fed.

***WON’T YOU JOIN US?*** We welcome children from preschool through 5th grade. The cost is only $10/ child for the whole week.

The free noon concert we had scheduled for today is being postponed until next Friday, July 24th, due to the hazardous air conditions. It is advised that people remain indoors, unless necessary, and so we are putting health and safety first.

But please join us next week for a wonderful free concert of musical stylings from our very own Jackie Vandenberg and friends.

Easter is not a denial of crucifixion’s horror, nor a naïve claim that suffering is gone. It is the unveiling of God’s solidarity within it. When despair feels near, and the machinery of death still grinds on, Easter calls us to turn: from fear to courage, from silence to witness, from resignation to radiant hope.
