Join us on Sunday, June 1 to Rock and Roll, to Rock-a-by Baby, to
Build on a Rock, to ride the Rock Island Line, to Rock Around the Clock,
to Rock of Ages, to dance the Jailhouse Rock…
On Sunday there will be a once in a life-time opportunity to pick rock
out on HOPE’s property at Sterling Ponds. We will be getting the land ready for planting.
Right after worship we will head out to the land where there will be
tractors and wagons for us to start clearing the land. Wear your jeans and work boots to church, bring your gloves and tools and off we’ll go.
For those of you who have already done your time on the rock pile, please consider joining us. We will need encouragement and some
music. When we’ve “done our time” we’ll gather for food and fellowship and celebrate the amazing community of HOPE
Lutheran. This is another good example of God’s work, our hands.
rayers are requested for:
David Anderson (friend of Michelle Hansen), Zora Anderson (HOPE member), Amanda Brown, Don Carlson
(Gorden Hedahl’s step-father), Avery Gallagher, Nancy Gerber (Pr. Sandy’s sister), June & Jerry Gibson

Carl’s Cooler HOPE would like to offer meals to Carl Warren while Sue is recovering. Carl has a cooler by his front door and you
can sign up to drop meals off. Please put food in labeled, single serving containers, so Carl can freeze what he can't
use. You can sign up by going to the link below. You will need to create a mealtrain account. There is no
charge to do so. Please contact Teresa at [email protected] if you need assistance.

Hey Team!
Our first game is on Monday, May 19th, at 7:45, at Hoffman Park #2. Let's plan on meeting at 6:30 for some hitting practice.
Also, if anyone wants to get together for a quick practice, let's meet at Hoffman Park on Sunday, May 18th at 6:00.
The rule this year on bats is that "All men, regardless of age, must use a 31" or smaller ASA Approved bat. Little League Bats are ok." This is the first time Little League bats have been allowed. I'm sure the Little League Bats will be a bit heavier and have a bit more power than a softball bat. If you want to purchase one, you may do so. Just be sure that it is no more than 31". I will have 31" softball bats available for anyone's use. Play Ball!! Faye
Daytime Book Group We'll meet at noon on Monday, May 19 at St. Croix Lanes to discuss Driftless by David
Rhodes. Driftless, a winner of the Milkweed Editions National Fiction Prize, is a novel that was
published in 2008. It is set in the Driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin.
We won't meet again until August when we'll suggest books for September '14 - May '15. As you read over the
summer, make note of titles that would be good for our discussions.
