We had an interesting visitor this week! Ken Rabe is cycling all over the U.S. and asked if he could shelter at our church as he passed through Chetek. He made a pretty fun video of his Northwoods experience.

On Sunday we celebrated Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came down to walk with us. How do we show that we have the Holy Spirit in our lives? By showing up, by serving, by doing God's work with our hands. These things are the fruit of the Spirit.

The Chetek & Dovre Lutheran Church has sung the Battle Hymn of the Republic every Sunday before Memorial Day for 37 years, and for good reason. Written in 1861 by abolitionist Julia Ward Howe, the Battle Hymn of the Republic became an anthem for Union soldiers fighting to end slavery. One line is particularly poignant: "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free."

They knew they might die, but they did it anyway.

Whether they died fighting for the freedom of others, or supplying fellow soldiers, or defending their brothers and sisters in arms, or protecting innocent bystanders away from the battlefield, today we remember them.

"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

Today is Pentecost.

O God, on this day you open the hearts of your faithful people by sending into us your Holy Spirit. Direct us by the light of that Spirit, that we may have a right judgment in all things and rejoice at all times in your peace, through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. —Bread for the Day

Worship is at 9:00 am this morning. All are welcome! Today is Pentecost Sunday, when we remember the descent of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. It's also Memorial Day Sunday, so if you've ever sung the Battle Hymn of the Republic, do some vocal warmups on your way to church and plan to add your voice to the choir.

There is no Sunday School or Confirmation class today.

Worship at Dovre Lutheran Church begins at 10:30 am. The Chetek & Dovre Chancel choir will be traveling to Dovre to sing several pieces during the service.
