New Worship Times.
In an attempt to accommodate continued growth and to open up seating and parking for those who are coming, we are now offering two Sunday morning services. 9:00-10:15 – First Service, 10:15-10:45 – Fellowship Time, 10:45-12:00 – Second Service.
Nursery Help
Our littlest ones are in need of some willing volunteers and helpers (school aged) to play with them/take care of them while their parents are worshipping on Sunday mornings. We are looking for 6 more adults and 6 more helpers in order to have an 8 week rotation to the schedule. If you use the nursery please take your turn, if you don’t and love the little ones, we could sure use your help! Questions? Contact Heather Gniffke at 507-829-9955.
Children’s Church
Would you please be in prayer with us for a person to oversee our Children’s Church ministry. The ministry is staffed right now, but with Lisa Walker’s move to Kentucky, we need the right person to look upon this as a ministry opportunity to our children and help move it forward.
Children’s Church allows our kids ages 4, 5 and 6 to hear the truth of God’s Word in a format they can appreciate. It also allows parents a few moments to focus upon the worship service, undistracted. God truly does gift and “calls” people to specific ministry and we are truly seeking who that person might be.
Wall of Faith
As part of our study in the book of Acts, you and your family are encouraged to purchase or make a small cross that can be displayed on the side wall of the sanctuary. This collection of crosses will represent the individual/s that you are earnestly praying will soon find Jesus in their lives.
As these individuals give their lives to the Lord, you are invited to tie a red ribbon around your cross. This wall will be a reminder of our mission as a church; to pray for and serve those that need Christ and to rejoice as He draws people to Himself.
Crosses may be dropped off at the church office.
Small Group Materials Available
Pastor Ray is offering a Small Group Curriculum to go along with the Acts Sermon Series. New study guides will be available on a bi-monthly basis. Pick up as many as you need for your group. Sessions 1-6 are available at the church office.
Fresh Coffee!
You may have noticed the Fellowship Committee has begun offering high end coffee on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. We encourage you to help yourself and to share a cup with someone new before or after the worship services.
In order to continue providing this service, we will need to have your assistance:
* Please help by following the suggested donation amount.
* No mugs or thermal cups please
* Parents, this table is for the adults, please help us.
Many of you have asked for this and we are glad to provide and appreciate your assistance in making it possible.
Women’s Bible Study – Relate
Join us the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month, from 6:45-8:45pm at the church. Come connect, relate, and grow with other women from our church and bring a friend! Any questions contact Steph Myhre (507-503-4693) or Marlene Glenn (507-423-5702).
