1 Second Sunday after Pentecost ST. JOHN LUTHERAN CHURCH OF PRAIRIE HILL 6605 Old Independence Rd Brenham, TX phone: JUNE 7, 2015 Second Sunday after Pentecost June 7, 2015

2 Welcome to Prairie Hill WELCOME VISITORS! We rejoice that you have chosen to worship with us, and hope you feel welcome to call Prairie Hill your home. The page numbers for the service refer to the front of the red hymnals in the pew. You will find hymns in the back of the same hymnal. The * indicates where you are invited to stand. A cry room and a bathroom are located near the church entrance (the back of the sanctuary). If you have any questions about our church family, you are invited to ask an usher or the person next to you in the pew. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to Pastor Jim after the service. Parents of Young Children We are so glad that you are here, and that you brought your children with you! Thank you! A few suggestions for your worship experience: Relax! God put the wiggle in children; don t feel you have to suppress it in God s house. It can be helpful to sit toward the front where it is easier for children to see and hear. Sing hymns loudly, pray, and voice the responses with enthusiasm. Children learn behavior by copying you. If you are excited about God, they will be too! There are Story Bibles in the pew your child is welcome to read, look at, and use this Bible! (If you would like to take one home, talk to Pastor Jim). Teach children some of the basic prayers; being able to join in with the prayers helps them feel they are contributing too. Also, it can be helpful to explain to your child what is happening during the service. Attend worship often, children like and need routines where they can participate. To those who are sitting near worshiping parents and children: A smile of encouragement is always welcome to parents with small, active children! Jesus welcomed the little children, and so do we. Whether talking, crying, laughing, or singing, the sounds of children in worship are joyful songs of praise. Second Sunday after Pentecost 2 June 7, 2015

Kyle will lead worship on June 21 st and everyone will have an opportunity to meet him informally between the services with coffee and doughnuts. There will be a special congregational meeting at 9:15 Sunday, June 28 to vote on whether or not to call Kyle. We will also discuss future options for our church parking lot.
