Adult Faith Formation
The last two meetings of our online book group will meet Sunday, April 28 and Sunday, May 5 at 4 pm. We are finishing up our discussions on a newly published by book from Broadleaf Books that has surely given us plenty to talk about.
God’s Monsters: Vengeful Spirits, Deadly Angels, Hybrid Creatures, and Divine Hitmen of the Bible
By Esther J. Hamori (teacher of the popular class “Monster Heaven” at Union Theological Seminary in New York, where she is a professor of Hebrew Bible.)
Here is what Broadleaf has to say about it:
The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens, jarring in both their strangeness and their propensity for violence–especially on God’s behalf.
Livdahl’s Living Legacy
Salem is currently honoring member Roger Livdahl, a vital force in the development of the ELCA World Hunger organization. What a wonderful campaign this is turning out to be! After an amazing launch on Easter Sunday, complete with some of the local Livdahl family in attendance, we have continued to celebrate Roger, his ministry, and the ministry of ELCA World Hunger. The original goal was to raise $5K for ELCA World Hunger in honor of Roger, and as of 4/25 our total raised was $7686! What a testimony to Roger and our commitment to God’s work.
Keep your eyes open for the latest campaign news and fundraising efforts on our Facebook page, in e-blasts, and announcements. Then plan to join us for worship on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, for our grand finale celebration. (There will be cake!)
If you would like to contribute, our fundraising page at Team ELCA can be found here or you can send your contribution directly to Salem via check.

Stewardship
Thank you all for your giving. From our musicians who offer their incredible talent to our streaming team, the gifts make a difference. From the checks that come in the mail that fulfill a pledge or offer a special gift in honor of something important to the regular giving that happens all online, the gifts make a difference. From tying a blanket or packing a meal to reading a lesson or attending a council meeting, your gifts make a difference. Your gifts make a difference, and our community is grateful.
SpringHouse Partners
