Visit our
website
to worship online at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning!
Some tips for preparing for Sunday's worship online:
- Before 9 a.m. on Sunday visit our website using the link above. If you arrived on the page that says "Worship Videos" with a brief welcome video you found the correct place.
- On Sunday morning pour yourself a cup of coffee, get a candle, and go to the worship website.
- If you would like to follow along with the scripture reading have your Bible nearby.
- At 9 a.m., find a comfy seat, take a deep breath, light your candle, and press play.

We checked in with the Lakes Area Food Shelf because of our current situation and also because it is our monthly mission in March. Our parking lot neighbors are in need of our support! Tammy Larson, the new director of the Food Shelf, expressed concern about their low checking account balance and the likelihood of an increased need to serve area residents. Already this week they have seen more families come through. As a reminder food shelves can stretch cash donations as they are able to access discount products and programs. Financial donations for the Lakes Area Food Shelf can be dropped off or mailed to church, or directly taken to the Food Shelf on Tuesday or Thursday morning (9 a.m. to noon).
On-Call Volunteers Needed:
In addition to financial support, we are also going to be providing the Food Shelf with on-call volunteers. Many of the regular Tuesday/Thursday volunteers are in the 60+ range (at-risk due to age). Andrea Langhoff will be coordinating on-call volunteers. Twice per week we will check in with the Food Shelf to see if they need volunteers.
Requirements for on-call volunteers:
- Under the age of 60 (for protection of those volunteering)
- Have not traveled in the last 14 days (if you went on spring break they are asking you wait for two weeks before you volunteer)
- Available Tuesday or Thursday from 8 a.m. to noon
If you are interested in being an on-call food shelf volunteer text (715-470-3131) or
email
Andrea.
