Ask the Pastor Headline
A digital tool for spiritual or Biblical  growth
What happens after death?
Is Jesus' body and blood really present in Holy Communion?
What does the Bible say about the Trinity?
Where was Jesus for the 3 days between His death and resurrection?
  Do you have a burning spiritual question that you would like answered but have never found the right time and place to ask it? Did you see or hear something this week that sparked a idea and now you need some pastoral advice? Is there a Bible passage that recently jumped out at you and now you would like more context or further reading?
  Ask the Pastor is your personal access to DS Senior Pastor Mark Hannemann. This is an invitation to grow personally by asking thoughtful, practical questions about the Christian faith. While responses may not be immediate, you can expect an answer to your question and any necessary follow-up steps. This may include further reading, invitation to a Bible study or worship, scriptural meditations, or other items as the pastor sees fit.

Capital Campaign Update

  After a thorough review of project needs, solutions and congregational input, including 17 focus group meetings, a favorable feasibility study was delivered to the Divine Shepherd Board of Directors.  This comprehensive report written by consultant Dan Reese states:
“The case has broad representative support within the congregation… There is a good spirit among the people and they are ready to move forward.”
  On June 19th the board unanimously voted to immediately begin the “Seeds of Hope” Capital Campaign and form a steering committee.
  Look forward to hearing more about this exciting mission in the coming weeks as campaign leaders begin to plan a kick-off event in September.

This Week in Worship
Sixth Sunday after Pentacost
Communion offered at 5pm Saturday & 8am Sunday
Message Series: Questions God Asks
   We are all too familiar with the questions we have for God: Why is there so much suffering in the world?  Why don’t you make my loved one well?  Why don’t you stop evil things from happening?  But have you ever thought of the questions God asks, like, “Where are you?” or “Why do you call me good?” or “Do you think I came to bring peace?”  Why would God ask questions?  What questions did Jesus ask?  What do His questions reveal?  
Join us this for worship this summer and bring your friends for, “Questions God Asks."

June 30/July 1 - Do You Think I Came to Bring Peace? Luke 12:49-53
Next week:
July 7/8 - What Good Is It to Gain the Whole World? Matthew 16:21-27
Noteworthy:
  • VBS Volunteer Training Session at 11:15am in the Trinity Center
  • New Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study with Pastor Hannemann at 9am in the Chapel - “Pastor, what about…?” Topics will be solicited from the group each week and Pastor will prepare a lesson for the following week. We will take up a new topic each class.
