Please join our Sunday morning adult education forums discussing "Good God Questions" between services on March 2, 9, 30 and April 6, 13, 20 and 27. We'll seek answers to important spiritual questions with the help of a video series presented by four professors from Luther Seminary in St. Paul. In each 45-minute session we'll watch a portion of a video and then discuss what we've seen. You need not register or attend every session, just grab a cup of coffee and join us in classroom #4 at 9:30.

The Call Committee invites the congregation to give them names of people who would be a good fit as our Associate Pastor. Please submit them to Matt Karlgaard (218/838-9341).

Our 50th Anniversary Cookbooks are due to arrive the first part of April. They will cost $10 each or three for $25.

The Divine Drama: Consider joining our 30-session Tuesday-evening Bible study which began September 4th. The first 16 units survey the biblical narrative, while the second 14 units examine the themes that emerge and answer the "so what?" questions. Taught by Pastor Joan, the course materials cost $25. We will meet from Sept. 4th to Dec. 18th, from Jan. 8th to March 11th, and from April 1st to 22nd.

Starting in June of 2007, and several times since, we have hosted guests through the Interfaith Hospitality Network. Our coordinators in this enterprise have included Keith Both (transportation), Ron and Sandy Thorson (evening meal), JoAnne Dayton (breakfast), Kate Carlson (activities), Dick Peterson (overnight hosts), Deb Roberts (evening hosts) and Christa and Harold Krause (set-up and take-down).
