Announcements

for the Week of April 24

Join us for worship this Sunday morning at 9:30 as we celebrate the sacrament of baptism.

We return to Genesis for our sermon text this week as we continue the story of Joseph and look at Genesis 37:12-36. Our responsive reading is Psalm 58:1-11 and our public reading of scripture has us starting 2 Timothy as we read 2 Timothy 1:8-18.

If you unable to join us in person, the webcast of our service is available on our website, YouTube Channel, or Facebook Page.

Sunday at 4:00 PM our congregation will be hosting an

informational meeting for area churches with the Evangelical

Presbyterian Church. The EPC is a Reformed denomination with roughly 600 churches. A pastor and ruling elder from the EPC church in Sartell, MN will be with us to offer information and answer questions. While this meeting is for congregations seeking a new home, our congregation members are welcome to join us and participate in the discussion. If you have any questions about the meeting, you can inquire with one of the Elders or Pastor Mark.

We want to thank everyone for their prayers, cards, and calls when my brother John Fransen passed away on March 25. We appreciate your kindness.

After faithfully serving our congregation in the position of Resource Director for 17 years, Nancy Wassink has resigned. She will continue in the position through June to finish the rest of the Sunday School year and Vacation Bible School.

We have decided to modify the job description for the position to include some of the responsibilities Nancy has picked up over the years and to also add a few new tasks. The new title for the position will be Director of Resources and Communication. It is a part-time position with an expectation of an average of 18-20 hours per week. If you are interested in serving our congregation in this role, please speak with Pastor Mark or Jason Heard.
