Greetings!

I’m writing on behalf of The Lutheran Choralaires in the hopes that you would be willing to help us promote our upcoming Spring Concert. We are a Men’s Chorus based in southeast Michigan. Through the years we have supported and advanced many Lutheran activities, but our main purpose has always been to proclaim Christ in song.

The Lutheran Choralaires, a Men’s Chorus under the direction of noted Detroit area composer and arranger Terry Herald, present their annual Spring Concert entitled “What Wondrous Love Is This.” Since 1947 The Lutheran Choralaires have praised our Risen Lord Jesus Christ in song; witnessing to the masses in Metro Detroit, throughout Michigan and beyond. The concert will be held on Saturday May 18th 4:00pm, at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church (14175 Farmington Road, Livonia, MI 48154). Free will donations will be taken at the door, and all proceeds will be donated to the Concordia University Ann Arbor Department of Music, and their Student In Need Fund. For further information contact Choralaire President Paul Kienman (pabamaki2@gmail.com), E-mail info@lutheranchoralaires.org, or visit www.lutheranchoralaires.org.

How to Create a Tech-Ready Home: Embracing the Tension between Careful, Countercultural, and Confident (Parents and Caring Adults, 14+)

Although it’s not possible to create an internet-safe home, it is possible to create one that is internetSAFER. After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like you, and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids learn to use technology well. And we call it the PYE Core Values. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas. Do you know what’s better than any parental control? Do you know why your router is the most important digital device in your home? Do you understand the toxic trio? Do you know why TikTok is so intoxicating to young brains? Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can implement this weekend.

Our desired outcomes include:

● A deep understanding of why multiple layers of protection are necessary and how they work

together.

● Awareness of the hardware and software tools that support your digital goals.

● How to use practical solutions so that your family is prepared, balanced, and protected online.

Written by Lisa Branton, LMSW, friend of ULC who does Christian counseling out of ULC’s building:

Hi Gabe and ULC, I was told I should bring this need to you and to see if you will see might be able to chip in. I’m wondering if this might grab your or the boards heart or if you might know of someone. I will be traveling with Rachel (my niece) to Goma and Beni, DRC. We will stay for a month starting September 13th. There is a lot developing with me teaching at the university, training counselors, leading mom and parenting seminars and providing counseling both individual & marriage and especially working with trauma survivors.

It’s difficult to get into the Congo. I’m thinking God must have something special in mind.

I’ve gotten a recent message of a camp for 100 kids and teens in the works to provide trauma healing groups.

The question asked is can we raise funds to cover the cost of this camp. I want to trust that God has funds in mind because trauma deeply burdens Him.

Do you know of someone that might want to help? Here is a GiveSendGo page. I’m not sure I’m getting it out there well. Any feedback? Could you forward? Thank you. FYI, what we’ll be doing in the Congo is safe!

 Here are a few of the comments we’ve received following our first St. Luke Married People Date Night . . .

We enjoyed our surprise box. Thank you!  . . . Sparked some great conversation (22 yr. anniversary date). . .The element of surprise and anticipation worked! . . .

If you weren’t able to pick up a Date Night Kit last time, stop by and grab one during the dates below.  If this is round two for you, you already know the fun that awaits, and we’ll see you back again!

You provide your own date night and we provide some fun and frills for you to take with you!
