The Season of Pentecost

Prayers of God’s People.
Lord, in your mercy . . . Hear our prayer. This coming week we lift up Linda Swanson; Megan Heikes; Stuart & Anita Smith; Pat & Bob Burrow; Pastor Mark & Janet Ditmanson. May God walk with these faithful friends as they walk beside us in our journeys.
Our September Mission of the Month will help Dave Nonnemacher get urgently needed supplies, clothing, and food to desperate families near the front lines in Ukraine. With everything going on in the world, it’s easy to forget that violence in Ukraine continues unabated. Let’s give hope to folks living amid relentless violence. Click on “Give” above to help.
Start Off the Day With a Morning Meditation. Pastor Tom emails a short meditation each day of the week. If you’d like to receive these quick little essays about living the gospel in the midst of our daily routines, simply have Pastor Tom add you to our email list. All are invited to receive these meditations.

Our Annual Meeting will be held following our worship service on Sunday, October 4th. We will be voting (among other things) on adopting the updated version of the ELCA’s model constitution, as our current constitution was last updated in 2010. Our new constitution was presented to the congregation early in 2026. Click on the page in the header to access it.
We’re Collecting Winter Coats for needy families in Ukraine. Please look through your closet and consider donating coats you’re no longer wearing for this ministry.
We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
You are invited to participate in the life of the church regardless of your sexual orientation, gender expression, political leanings, religious affiliation, immigration status, or attitude toward lutefisk. We are a community of faith made up of imperfect people seeking the mystery of God’s love together; a church where beginners are welcome, forgiveness is proclaimed, inclusion in promised, and hope comes alive.
We acknowledge that we live and worship on the traditional lands of our indigenous neighbors. We honor that we are able to build a community that reflects the culture and values of our immigrant forebears because the Ojibwe Nation gave us permission to do so through a series of treaties.
