Pictorial Directory: It was decided and voted on last Sunday to go ahead with the Picture Directory. Our dates are set now for June 17-18 from 2-8:30 p.m. both dates. If you cannot make this you are welcome to set appointments at Trinity June 11-14, 2025 and have them taken there. A committee will be appointed to help with this process here at Burt.
Thank You! To our Christian Family we would like to thank you for all your kind words and support during this difficult time. We can always count on you to help us through the good and bad times of life. As Pastor Dose explained in his sermon, we all need to put Christ first in our lives, and we will be able to handle anything that comes our way. A special thank you to Pastor Dose for a wonderful service and visits made to the hospital; to Rosann for time you took to type and print the bulletins; to Marcia Hanna for rearranging your schedule to play the organ; to the ladies in the kitchen who served the meal; to those who set up and took down tables and chair; to those who ushered and made our extended families feel at home. We greatly appreciated it and extended our love and God's blessing to all of you. Reimers Family - Janice, Russ, Patty, Pam and Randy
THE HAND OF THE LORD is our theme for Lent this year. Hands are used to heal, mend, build, teach, comfort, and so much more. Yet, as humans, our hands are sinful and unclean. Christ’s hands are the ones that can transform our sinful and dirtied hands into beautiful, clean ones to carry out His plans. Spend this Lent exploring God’s Word to see how His hands are used in both the New and Old Testaments, from creation to crucifixion and eternal life. Watch for our Lenten Schedule and Devotion books coming soon!

Building Healthy Families: Wives, want to have a closer relationship with your husband, even during times of stress or conflict? Check your tone, your attitude, and your words. Research supports what Scripture already tells us: During an argument, 83% of husbands feel disrespected. “Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” (Ephesians 5:33) Respect your husband always, even when you’re not happy with him. It’s not just a good idea; it’s a clear directive from the creator of marriage Himself. And it works! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
