Greetings from Pastor Stephen....

Dear Church Family Members and Friends,

I hope that all of you have seen the letter about Consecration Sunday sent to our faith community last week from our Moderator Dale Bakke. I would like to add my invitation for you to join us in the sanctuary on Sunday, November 14, 2021 as we dedicate our financial pledges for the coming year.

Because of the pandemic over the last two years, our observance of Consecration Sunday will be a little bit better than last year, but it is still very different from how we have celebrated in the past. But I believe that what has not changed is our commitment to the Missions and Ministries of our church. Over the many months of pandemic, you have demonstrated your love for your church and your financial stewardship in support of our congregation. I invite you to participate in this time of renewed devotion and commitment.

Our congregation’s ability to fulfill our promises and make our missions and ministries powerful and relevant both start and depend on YOU—your interest, your participation, your prayerful encouragement, and of course, your commitment. I look forward to sharing a BIG celebration with you!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in the church office .

Dear Church family members and friends,

On Sunday, November 7, 2021 at our Service of Worship, our congregation observed Totenfest. Each year on All Saints Day we recognize those members of our congregation and of our families who have died in the last 12 months. The names of our deceased loved ones are read and the church bell tolls to remember and honor their life.

A candle is lit in their memory.

Although this is a prayerful and quiet moment in our worship, it is truly a celebration of life and all that these Saints have meant to us, have given to us, have provided for us, and have taught us.

If you weren't able to be at the service you can view it below and ur Media Page.
