The importance of praying for the dead
As we have celebrated Memorial Day again this year, we recall the sacrifice of our service men and women. Christians have the solemn duty to remember and honor those who have died in service to our nation, as we believe in an eternal destiny. Our hope is that we go to be with the communion of saints. We pilgrims in this life, who are called to an eternal dwelling prepared by Jesus. We are called to assist those who are on the way to perfection in Christ. In particular the living are instructed to pray for the dead, that whatever perfection they lacked on earth, may be completed, so that they may enter worthily into the perfection of heaven. In the book of Maccabees this explicitly happens for soldiers who died in battle.

Dyckman Free Library News: Time for Summer Reading
It is finally here! Sign up for the Summer Reading Program begins this week with the program running for six weeks starting June 2. The main goal of the summer program is to keep kids reading so they don’t lose any reading skills before school starts again. That said, we have fun programming planned to include some art as well as reading. From an escape room, clay creation sessions and a mobile metal foundry to music, pollinator program and a physical comedy program, everyone should find something they like. Stop into the library and pick up a calendar of events – you don’t want to miss any!
Out of the Past will return next week
