Sundays at 10am, February 3 through March 10
This Sunday we invite you to ask the question: What did Jesus mean when he said, “The truth shall set you free?” What “truth” was He talking about? And freedom from what? The Reclaiming Jesus series continues with discussion of these and other questions. All sessions will be held in the Fellowship Hall, with small group discussions facilitated to provide opportunities for personal involvement. We stand together in remembering: love drives out fear!

Stay at Home Tea
To Support the Children Youth and Family Ministry

This year, we’re raising money for the Youth to travel to Christikon, a Lutheran Bible camp in Montana. At this time, we have 4 planning to go to the Middle School Camp and 5 planning to go to the High School Camp.
Did You Know?
We also raise money for our great family events. In January 52 people got to go ice skating for free. This is because the Family Ministry paid the for event. We have other family events too. The Family Swim is coming up in May. Of course, our biggest family event is the Annual Harvest Bash and Trunk-or-Treat.
You should receive an invitation in the mail soon where you are asked to stay at home and enjoy a cup of tea. Then, please consider supporting the CYF Ministry by making a donation. Questions? Contact Taryn Hauglie by clicking
