CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
2nd Sunday after Pentecost
June 19, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: Would you consider yourself to be a happy person? Would others agree? We realize
there is a difference between happiness and joy; not everything in this life makes us happy, but such
does not have to steal our joy throughout this life. Our joy is rooted in a sure hope, a hope which is
rooted in a peace that surpasses all understanding …it is rooted in Jesus. And you, plugged into
Jesus, have reason to remain filled with joy … even when not happy.

Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander
Musical Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek

1st Sunday after Pentecost - Trinity Sunday

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: What is the point … Have you said those words regarding a project or dealing
with another human being? We can become frustrated, and that can turn to despair and a defeatist
attitude. How can we avoid such, or get out of such? Jesus answers that for us. We have a God who
instead of being frustrated and giving up on us, has given to us what we need to overcome. To our
God, Father – Son – Holy Spirit, be the praise today and every day.

Pentecost Sunday June 5, 2022

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
Pentecost Sunday
June 5, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: 50 days, that is how many days following the Resurrection of Jesus that the event 
of Pentecost took place … as promised. The disciples did not need an energy drink to get them
fueled up for what was ahead, they were filled with the Holy Spirit … as promised. Are you filled 
with the Spirit? If you call Jesus your Savior, you have the Spirit in you as He is the One who enables 
us to call on the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit reminds us of God’s promises and so much more as 
we hear once again today.

Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander
Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek
Flowers: The flowers are placed at the altar by the Worship Arts Committee in celebration of the 
Holy Spirit coming upon the first followers of Jesus Christ, and the beginning of the Christian 
church and its mission to spread the Gospel.

The Ascension of our Lord May 29, 2022

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
The Ascension of our Lord
May 29, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: Do you like to be held accountable? Our sinful nature rebels at the concept, yet our 
new self in Jesus welcomes it. Who of us does not need accountability, no matter our situation? Our 
motive to live a God-directed lifestyle is not because we fear punishment but rather because the love 
of Christ compels us to see His way is best for us. When we mess up, thankfully Jesus intercedes for 
us as He wants to see us in heaven with Him. Give thanks, then, for God holding us accountable in 
various ways, through various people, so that we will not have to fear the day of accountability.

Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander
Musical Accompanists: Marty Puckett
Violin/Cello: Vince Beiderbecke 
Percussion: Don Black
Altar Flowers: The flowers have been provided by Ellie & Steve Ennis in celebration of Steve’s 
birthday and in honor and memory of all those who have served in our armed services!

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
6th Sunday of Easter
May 22, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: Have you thought about walking through this life with shrink wrap around your
body? There are so many things in this life that can harm our body (inside and out), how do we stay
safe? God has given us a brain, common sense, and most importantly His Word (the Bible). There
He reminds us that our ultimate protection through this life comes from Him. Though we go
through troubles on earth, such do not nullify the love and power of God. This truth is what we
build on during this hour of worship.

Victory Service for Helen Bishop May 21, 2022

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair” 2 Corinthians 4.

A prayer: 
Teach us, Lord of heaven and earth, to number our days aright. Hear our prayers and open our ears to the 
message You have prepared for us this day. Fill our hearts and minds with the peace which can only come 
from You as we mourn the earthly departure of Melody and at the same time celebrate the eternal victory 
she has received by Your grace. Amen.

Officiant:
Pastor Jonathan Kolander Pastor at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
5th Sunday of Easter
May 15, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: The word ‘love’ is so overused, isn’t it? People have the word ‘love’ pass through 
their lips (‘I love you’ or ‘you are loved’), but how many really mean it? A way to show you mean 
what you say is through action. God tells us that He loves us, and He backed it up with action. How 
can you back up the word ‘love’ with action? Couldn’t our world use more of your legit love, a love 
which comes from God through you? As we worship today, think of God’s love for you both in 
word and action.

Musical Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 
4th Sunday of Easter
May 8, 2022

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus: How often do you think about what heaven will be like? Do you think it will be 
boring in heaven? Do you think your family and friends will be there, sitting around a table? If you 
are not thinking about life in heaven, what if you started to do so; how would that change your view 
on life? … on eternity? God has given us words so we can draw pictures in our minds about life in 
heaven. While not having all the answers, there is plenty in the Bible to contemplate. Such time spent
in the Word will not be a waste of your time.
