COMING MESSAGE SERIES THIS FALL: EXPERIENCING GOD Many Christians have difficulty understanding what it means to enjoy a personal relationship with God. I believe God will use the Experiencing God study by Henry Blackaby to help you develop a vibrant, real, growing relationship with God. If coming to know God experientially is something you would like to grow in, I would encourage you to sign up for your copy of the Experiencing God workbook by August 31. A sample copy to view is on the Narthex table.

An opportunity is available for someone to help with PowerPoint set-up for our worship services. It is a once a month commitment and usually takes only 1-2 hours. If you are interested or have questions, contact Charla Sandbulte.

Meet in the ARC parking lot on Thursday, August 6, 6:30 PM to go for a ride and out to eat at the Glass House in Ihlen, MN. Come on your cycle, convertible, or whatever else you want to drive. Contact Marcia Boeve-Alfano with questions
