DEVOTION: Luke 22:19
And he took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. "
Today is Memorial Day. it is more than just a day off. It is more than just a good day to open the pool and grill a bunch of stuff. Today we remember those who have given their very lives to defend the freedoms we enjoy daily in this country. We look with deep humility and honor on those who both volunteered and were drafted who gave up their lives so that we can be and remain free. We thank the Lord that there have been so many men and women who thought it best to serve God and country in such a way.
Sound familiar?
There is one who gave His life up for all of us, not just in this country, but for everyone for all time. Every Sunday is memorial day in our churches as we gather together to learn more about that ultimate sacrifice that God incarnate, Jesus Christ, made for us.
And why did He do it? TO MAKE US FREE! He came down to earth, leaving behind His glory and heaven itself, to step into a body like ours, to suffer like we do in every way; to deal with temptation like we do, yet never ever give into it; to die a death that we deserved; all for us!
As you remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country, keep in mind the One who gave up His life in service to the whole world, even His enemies, even us, for all time!
Let us pray: Lord God, we thank you for those who have given their lives to keep our freedoms in this place and to defend us from our earthly enemies. We thank you even more for sending Your one and only Son to save us from sin, death, the devil and hell. Amen.
Approximately 6 people from Warrenton will be needed to help install doors, windows, and siding. Lunch and beverages will be provided. In addition to our volunteers, we will be paired up with Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wentzville, to get a full crew.
Please contact Ron Harper, the Habitat volunteer coordinator, if you are able to participate on Saturday, June 15 from 8:00am-3:30pm.

PRAYERS FOR OUR SERVICEMEN
I have been compiling a list of servicemen who are members of St John's so that we can pray for them. Below is a list of them and where they are currently stationed. Please note that their stationing changes quickly, so this may not even be up to date, but it is the last known whereabouts that I have of these guys.
Danny Dreyer- Army- 2nd Lieutenant- Ranger, Ft. Benning, Georgia.
Sam Hargrove- Army- 2 Lieutenant- Ft Rucker, Alabama, will be going through helicopter flight school and other training
David Mincemeyer- Army- Army Specialist- Ft. Carson, CO
Jon Rahn- Navy- Hawaii, not sure of his rank at this time
David Tate- Air Force- 2nd Lieutenant- Jacksonville, Florida
Alex Walters- Navy- E4- Guam
Ryan Woolf- Air Force- Airman 1st Class- Buckley Air Force Base, near Denver, CO
If there are more out there that I just don't know about, please let me know, and I will include him/her on the list.
Also, if you would like your family member or friend included in this list, please reply to this email with all the information!
Pray for these guys. Some of these guys are in harm's way right now, others are training to put themselves in harm's way. All of them have volunteered to serve and protect their country (which is you).
