Summer Office Hours
Beginning June 4th, Monday-Thursday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Fridays, 7:30 to 12:00 pm.
Summer Serve We are looking for volunteers of all ages to take part in hands-on service and acts of kindness. Summer Serve consists of a project someone needs to have done, from small household projects to yard work, and then we do it...no questions asked, no strings attached. Service to improve the community and someone's day.
We will meet at 8:30 am each day during the week of August 9-13th to discuss the service opportunities, and carry them out. We will work until noon and finish the day with a light lunch. Sign up for a few hours, or you could serve the entire week.
Prayer Garden With summer’s arrival we are enjoying our Prayer Garden. If you have not already ventured in, it is located between the Sanctuary and Mason Hall. The fountain and statue have been added and the flowers are in bloom. This is a peaceful sanctuary where you can stop by and pray.
The pathway leading up to the garden consists of paving stones. We will once again be accepting donations for the engraved stones. For a $100.00 donation, you can have the name(s) of your loved one engraved on a paving stone. No more than two names per stone please. These stones are a wonderful way to remember your loved ones, and will be a lasting, loving memorial to them.
Please stop in to the church office if you would like to purchase a memory brick.
Please Remember the General Fund Your generosity to our air conditioning fund is wonderful however, we ask that you also remember to continue to give to our general fund. This fund is necessary to pay for heat, lights, air conditioning, office expenses and for our wonderful staff. We have now borrowed $30,000 to aid us with our summer expenses. Please continue to support our regular mission and ministry. Thank you!
Service Projects Needed If you are in need, or know someone who may be in need of some help with small household projects or yard work please contact the church office by August 9th.

Dead Sea Scrolls Explore the greatest archaeological find of the 20th century—the Dead Sea Scrolls, which include text fragments that are steeped in religious, historic, and cultural significance. The Dead Sea Scrolls, a special exhibition at the Science Museum of Minnesota, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all generations to witness something truly remarkable. Visitors will also experience a gallery devoted to The Saint John's Bible, the newest hand-scribed illustrated Bible.
We will be taking a chartered bus to the exhibition on Saturday, September 11th. We will leave the church at 8:30 am, arrive at the Old Country Buffet for an 11:30 am dinner reservation, then on to the Omni Theater where we will see a 45 minute film on Arabia, and its rich culture, history and religion that has long been hidden from the West. Following the movie, we will view the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Saint John’s Bible. We will also have an opportunity to view other areas of the Science Museum. We will leave the museum around 5:00 pm and return home. If you want to grab a snack before heading home, there are places in the museum to do so.
Cost of the entire trip is $60.00. Seating is limited to only 50 people and we already have 30 signed up!! Cancellation can only be accepted until August 30th. After that time, we cannot give refunds because the tickets will already be purchased. Please plan to join us on this remarkable journey. Contact Jana or Sue in the office for reservations.
