FLAG DAY
Father's Day
In the United States, Flag
Day is celebrated on June 14.
It commemorates the adoption
of the flag of the United States,
which happened on that day in
1777
by
resolution
of
the Second Continental Congress.
Over the years
As we grow old,
We remember our father
So brave and bold.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a
proclamation that officially established June 14
as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day
was established by an Act of Congress. Flag
Day is not an official federal holiday.
In the garden,
Leaning on the plow,
He would listen to me;
I see him now.
On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the
firstU.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state
holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.
New York Statutesdesignate the second Sunday
in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.
He would give advice
And understand;
He was always there
To lend a hand.
Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade
is in Fairfield, Washington. Beginning in 1909 or
1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year
since, with the possible exception of 1918, and
celebrated the "Centennial" parade in 2010,
along with some other commemorative events.
God made fathers
Strong and firm,
For he knew our lives
Would have great concerns.
Appleton, Wisconsin claims to be the oldest National Flag Day parade in the nation, held annually since 1950. It was also named "Most Patriotic City in America" by AmericaTheBeautiful.com
in 2008.
So he gave us fathers
To teach us to pray,
And guide our lives,
And show us the way.
Quincy, Massachusetts has had an annual Flag
Day parade since 1952 and claims it "is the longest-running parade of its kind in the nation." The
largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy,
New York, which bases its parade on the Quincy
parade and typically draws 50,000 spectators. In
addition, the Three Oaks, Michigan Flag Day
Parade is held annually on the weekend of Flag
Day and is a three-day event and they claim to
have the largest flag day parade in the nation as
well as the oldest.
The week of June 14 is designated as "National
Flag Week." During National Flag Week, the
president will issue a proclamation urging U.S.
citizens to fly the American flag for the duration
of that week.
So on his day
Let's take the time
To say "Thanks, dad.
I'm glad you're mine."

Thrivent Financial
“SIMPLY GIVING”
Electronic Transfers
But you’re not the only one that benefits.
Your congregation benefits from
steady, more predictable revenues throughout the year, more efficient bookkeeping
and greater confidence in meeting its financial commitments.
“Simply Giving” is an automated giving program designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. Through “Simply
Giving”, your offerings are made through a
preauthorized withdrawal from your bank
account. You determine the frequency of
your automatic gift—weekly, semi-monthly
or monthly—the option is yours. Your offering is deposited into the church’s bank account on the same day it is withdrawn from
your account—at NO cost to you or the
church.
Why does Thrivent Financial for Lutheran offer Simply Giving?
Thrivent Financial offers Simply Giving to further its mission of serving Lutheran
congregations and institutions.
How do I participate?
Complete an enrollment form and return it to your church. Contact Tim Meier
(313-886-3201) for an enrollment form.
Benefits to you and to your
Congregation
“Simply Giving” is a reliable, safe way
to move your stewardship plan into action. It
allows you to share your offerings through
planned giving and activates your generosity into ongoing stewardship. Because your
offering is given consistently, you won’t
need to play “catch-up” at yearend or worry
about forgotten checkbooks or missed Sunday offerings.
Whom do I call if I have more questions
about Simply Giving?
Simply Giving will be administered by
Vanco Services, LLC, an outside vendor
that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has
contracted with to provide administrative
services. Contact Tim Meier for more information (313-886-3201).

Thank you to everyone who came to the
Wurstfest, the volunteers that cooked,
baked, collected money, set up the Hall,
and those that ordered fresh sausage.
141 members & guests were drawn into the
church by the smell of sausage on the BBQ
and sauerkraut cooking in the pots. As they
walked into Luther Hall, they were impressed with the new chairs and the wonderful decorations. We consumed a delicious dinner of potato salad (made by the
ladies of the Schwäbisher Männerchor),
sauerkraut, baked beans, jello, fresh sausages made by Rudy & Karin Knoedl and
their helpers, and of course the delicious
desserts made by our members. Afterwords
the Schwäbischer Männerchor delighted
the crowd with a few songs. A sing along
was then started with a medley of old favorite tunes that every age could enjoy and
much to everyone’s surprise the words
were displayed on a video screen.

Ich habe nichts Neues zu berichten von unserem Meeting. Wie immer, unsere Meeting
begann mit einem Gebet von Käthe, folgend
mit Gedichten, gemeinsamem Singen und
Geburtsagfeiren für diejenigen, die Geburtstag
hatten im Monat Mai.
Wir besprachen auch, was wir vorhaben zu tun
für unser 40-jahriges Jubiläum der Senioren.
Wir wollen unseren Köchinnen und Helfern
Ruhe gönnen, damit sie auch alles genießen
können. Wir möchten Euch danken für all die
schwere Arbeit die Ihr immer für uns getan
habt und beten, daß Gott Euch die Kraft
schenkt, daß Ihr es auch weiterhin tun könnt.
Wir haben zwei Frauen, die auch in der Carpathia beim kochen helfen und uns gerne das
Essen kochen. Wir danken Ihnen schon im
voraus und ich bin gewiß, es wird ein
schmackhaftes Essen geben. Da es nun Catering ist, so ist der Betrag diesmal $16.00.
Jeder ist herzlich willkommen und wir hoffen,
daß doch ein paar mehr wie sonst kommen.
Mit 11 Personen wurde der Seniorenkreis im
Jahre 1976 als Pastor Goegginger Seelsorger
der St. Peter’s Kirche war, gegründet. Im Jahr
1978 bekamen wir Herrn Pfarrer Müller, der
sehr tätig bei den Senioren war. Im Jahr 1980
übersiedelten wir in diese Kirche in Warren.
Langsam vergrößerte sich der Seniorenkreis
bis auf 120 Mitglieder. Wir danken dem lieben
Gott, der all diese Jahre den Weg mit uns ging
und uns mit soviel Gutem segnete. Wir wollen
auch diejenigen in guter Erinnerung behalten,
die mit viel Liebe und Aufopferung bei der
Gründung waren—Ihnen danken, obwohl sie
nicht mehr mit uns sind. Unsere Gruppe zur
Zeit ist nicht sehr groß, da manche
verstarben—oft auch durch Krankheit nicht mit
uns sein können. Aber wir kommen doch
gerne zusammen und freuen uns, daß wir das
können, es heißt ja: Wenn auch nur zwei oder
drei versammelt sind, da ist der liebe Gott
auch mit dabei. So bitten wir den lieben Gott,
ob wenige oder viele in die Meeting kommen,
daß Er auch weiter über die 40 Jahre Seinen
Segen auf unseren Seniorenkreis, und unsere
St. Peter’s Kirche ruhen läßt, damit wir die
Liebe, die Er für uns hat, an Andere
weitergeben können.
Nach dem 40.zigten Jubiläum ist nur noch ein
Treffen und zwar unser Picknick am 22. Juni.
Danach beginnen die Sommerferien. Daher
wünsche ich uns Allen einen schönen Sommer
-ob Zuhause oder auf Reisen. Der Herr behüte
uns bis wir uns wieder im Sept. treffen. Unsere
ersten Treffen nach den Sommerferien sind
am 7. und 21. September.
Ganz herzlich,
Maria Leprich und der Vorstand
SPRINGTIME
When lovely Springtime’s promise of beauty
Yet to be has paved the way for Summer,
when days stretch endlessly . . .
Then nature is aburst with flowers, their perfume fills the air!
And every breeze proclaims the news that God
is everywhere.
Butterflies aflutter with the very joy of living;
Dance their way from flower to flower,
While beauty they are giving.
May every flower attest to this . . .
God made everything!
The earth we see and Heaven we can’t;
It is why the angels sing!

Every Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the children of the parish join in the early service
through the Children’s Sermon. They are then excused to Luther Hall with their teacher for
their lesson based on the Sunday lectionary used in worship.
Remember to talk to your children about the marvelous things they learned and did at
Sunday School. You will see what a good time they have when they come!
