TALKING BIBLES CHALLENGE
A challenge has been extended to the Congregation to raise money to purchase Talking Bibles for India. From now through the end of the year, for each $50 that is given, a Talking Bible will be placed on the Christmas tree in the Commons. Donations can be placed in the offering plate or given at the table by the tree on Sunday mornings.
USING THE CHURCH
There are many rooms available at the church for life groups, meetings, Bible studies, family gatherings, etc. but the church building is also a very busy place. Please call the church office (507-283-8600) to reserve a space and do not assume that it is available. Also, just a reminder that kitchen items, tables, chairs, etc. are not to be removed from the building without prior approval. Please also ask permission before using items that are behind locked doors.
