We Still Need Your Help for Easter!
Easter Sunday is coming on April 5, and we are so excited! We’re looking for teachers, helpers, and nursery care workers for our 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. services.
Easter is one of the most fun and meaningful Sundays in Children’s Ministry. With two services this year, we have twice as many little hearts to care for and twice as many spots to fill! Many volunteers are still needed. Please let Deidre Cullen know if you can serve. You can also reach her at 507-269-3056.
We can’t wait to celebrate the resurrection of Christ together. What better way to celebrate than throwing a joyful Easter party with the kids?
Hallelujah! He has risen indeed!
Cross Cultural Missions Lunch
Dave and Becky Atwood invite a small group of 6–8 of you to join them for lunch on Sunday, March 29 at Muna Halal.
This will be a wonderful way to connect across cultures, meet some of our international neighbors, and build new friendships over a delicious meal. No formal program — just a relaxed, welcoming afternoon where we can enjoy flavorful dishes, meaningful conversation, and the chance to learn a little more about each other’s backgrounds and experiences.
If this sounds like something that you would like to participate in, then please send Dave an e-mail with the number who will be in attendance by Saturday, March 21.
Men’s Ministry Handyman Service
If you are a senior or a widow and have a project around your home that you think some men of the church could handle getting done for you, please reach out to me! The Men’s Ministry would love some opportunities this spring to help you out.
