Does it seem like Pastor Jim has been on vacation a lot lately?

Well, it’s true, he has. In fact, both he and Carol had unused PTO time at the end of 2020 and the council gave approval for both of them to carry those hours over and use them in the first 3 months of 2021. We greatly appreciate all they do for Rejoice and want Pastor Jim and Carol to have time to relax, renew and energize.

Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign

Minnesota FoodShare Campaign is the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state. Please help support those families in our community that are struggling with food insecurity. All food and financial donations made to the Clearwater - Clear Lake Emergency Food Shelf through April 11 earn additional funding from the Minnesota FoodShare Food Fund.
Save the Date

Rejoice Fall Festival will be held Saturday, September 25!
Community Prayers
If you have a loved one or friend in need of prayer, fill out a prayer request or use one of the prayer concern requests located on the Interest table and in the sanctuary welcome pads. The star(*) in front of a name denotes a Rejoice member. This is a dynamic list. Requests will be printed for up to four weeks; call the church office at 320.558.6851 to extend listing. If a name of a friend or loved one has been omitted please resubmit the name and/or concern using one of the prayer concern forms found in the red Welcome Pads in the worship area.
