For close to 35 years young adults (grades 7-12) have gathered together to compete in the MN State Bible Bowl (MN North & South Districts). The 2023 Bible Bowl was held on Saturday, April 1, at Concordia University in St. Paul. The young team from First Lutheran Church of Grand Rapids took first place.
The competition consists of 15 oral round questions and it is double elimination for each Team. This means that the Team from Grand Rapids had the most wins and only one loss. There also is individual competition which consists of 50 Multiple Questions. Bible Bowl questions are from one Book of the Bible, the Book is announced the preceding fall each year. This year’s topic was the Life of Moses from the Book of Exodus. For additional information or sample questions contact Pastor Steve Breitbarth, s.breitbarth@mchsi.com or call 218-929-1110.

Dear Rev. Finnern,
it is with grateful hearts that we received the CROSS Appeal money. Truly this check has made a big difference in our budgeting needs for the remainder of this year. We are carefully looking at our greatest needs to find the best way to use these funds. Be assured they will be prayerfully and gratefully used.

God has placed heavy responsibility on the staff of St. John Lutheran School to feed our students the truth of God's Word. We pray we can equip them in every way to live in a sinful culture and remain true to our Lord. Although the responsibility is great, we carry out our duties with joy, knowing Jesus is with us and strengthening us in our roles at the school. Feeling the support of the District gives us greater enthusiasm as we go about our daily work.
We ask for your prayers as we look ahead to next year. We will have several vacancies among teachers and staff. Please pray that God sends the right people to serve our children.
We send sincere thanks for your generous financial help and also for your prayers for our precious school.
In the name of Jesus,
Delores Kading, Principal
St. John Lutheran School, Thief River Falls

Joni and Friends Minnesota is asking for immediate prayer and consideration as we seek a pastor/chaplain for our June 8-13 Family Retreat in Detroit Lakes, MN. Our original pastor had scheduling conflicts and so had to back out.
Any pastor with a compassionate heart for people with disabilities may be considered for the position. A Youth Pastor, a Director of Christian Education, or a Director of Christian Outreach would also be welcome to apply. If you play guitar: that’s even better, but not required. The minister would receive a small stipend for the time serving as well as room and board during the event.
This retreat will be serving young adults and adults with disabilities as well as their families. It will be a great time at a beautiful Young Life facility!
Joni and Friends’ mission is to communicate the Gospel and mobilize the global church to evangelize, disciple and serve people living with disability. Our vision is a world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.
For more information, please contact either Retreat Director Scott Price (612)703-8938 or MN Area Director Kurtis Smith (763)607-3931.
