Wedding Invitation
The Lovealls would like to invite our friends and family at First Presbyterian to celebrate with us at

Bailey Loveall’s wedding

Friday, June 2nd – 3:00pm
At the church.

Cupcake reception to follow in Fellowship Hall
Please RSVP at https://fpcspiritlake.org/bailey-loveall-wedding/ Or call the office and let Cheri or Clint know at 336-1649. If you have already responded, thank you and you do not need to do so again.
Bailey was 6 when we moved to Spirit Lake and though she remembers Texas fondly, this is her home and you all are her church family. It may be crowded, but we would gladly have any of you that can make it join us at her wedding.

Children’s Church
Pre-K through 4th grade students are invited to attend Children’s Church, an interactive worship experience, following the children’s sermon during both worship services every Sunday through June and July. Adult leaders will lead students in a time of Bible lessons, music, crafts, and games in the Christian Education wing. Once worship is over, students will enjoy a snack time while adults have a time of coffee and fellowship. Regular Sunday School will not meet during the summer and will resume in the early Fall.

New Church Directory & Family Portrait Opportunity
Believe it or not, it is time to refresh our church directory once again! The Membership committee invites you to sign up for a photography sitting within one of our two sessions from June 26th-29th and July 14th & 15th and 19th & 20th. Every family that participates will receive one free 8″x10″ picture as well as a free printed church directory. The photo directory is an important tool that helps connect our church family across our two services and also serves as a great point of contact for our newest members. Please signup for your family’s appointment right away. You can either call in your reservation to the church office or complete it online at https://fpcspiritlake.org/directory/

Thank You
A big “Thank You” to all who helped me celebrate my 70th birthday last Sunday, including my kids and grandkids who planned the surprise. You all made my day so special with your hugs and birthday wishes. I love my church family and feel so blessed to have you all in my life! God bless you all.

Mission Trip Meeting

The final preparatory mission trip meeting will be held at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Park on Wednesday June 14th at 7pm. Please come to receive the final packing list, a complete trip itinerary, and the final information required for our upcoming Mission trip to NYC.

Pictures of Dad
On Sunday, June 18th we will be honoring all dads on Father’s Day. Please bring us your favorite picture of “Dad” to be presented in a slide show presentation on Father’s Day.

The Baby/Lap Quilts are ready to be finished. They are located in the chest of drawers in fellowship hall.

Okoboji 200 Bike Ride
I’ll be doing the Okoboji 200 again this year on June 30th to raise money to fight sex trafficking and human slavery in Iowa and the world. Any donations are appreciated.
We will also be hosting some of the riders on June 30 and serving breakfast on July 1st. More details to come, but you can contact the office to volunteer or for more information.
