Gentle Reader,
What do we say about our God? How we talk about God makes a big difference in what we expect, and how we live with God. We talk about God as being Trinity, but what does that even mean, for God and for us?
Come to celebrate our Triune God! Come, and hear some different ways to
speak of God and to God.
Most importantly, come and
hear from our God who is, and was, and shall be. It may just change your life!
Happy Memorial Day!

An Important Message from your Church Council
Summer brings a change of pace for all concerned. As Minnesotans we do our best to take advantage of warmer weather and enjoy outdoor activities. That is true for your Council too! Many of our Council members are on our St. Paul Lutheran softball team. That is necessitating a change in the date of our June and July council meetings. Please note that we will meet on June 20th and July 18th - the third Wednesday of the month, rather than the Gusual Tuesday.
We also want you to know the Council is keeping a very close eye on our budget. As you know, the congregation approved a negative budget at our January Annual Meeting. At that time, everyone in attendance felt that we could overcome that deficit. That has not proven to be the case in the first 5 months of 2018. Not only have expenses been higher, largely because of the long winter, but giving has actually been lower than expected. We ask that each member take a look at their giving and do their very best to stay current and, if possible, stretch your giving for the summer. We will keep you updated on any levers that we think must be pulled in order to be good stewards of our finances.

Tom Miller, President
Shirley Zierke, Vice-President
